The Connecticut Sun introduced Rachid Meziane as their new head coach, marking a significant change for the franchise. Meziane, the first international coach in the team's history, previously led a French team to a championship and coached Belgium's national team. Meziane plans to relocate to Connecticut in February, with his family joining him later. The Sun emphasized the need for a full-time coach in the state, a requirement not met since 2012. The team is also restructuring its coaching staff, having already hired former WNBA player Roneeka Hodges. Meziane's input will be crucial in selecting additional staff, with a focus on hiring women and former players.
