The Sydney Kings announced on Friday that the team has agreed to part ways with head coach Mahmoud Abdelfattah.
Abdelfattah was named the 17th head coach in Kings’ franchise history on June 21, 2023, following stints with the Houston Rockets (NBA) and Rio Grande Valley Vipers (G League).
He coached one season for Sydney, placing fifth in NBL24 and registering a 13-16 (0.448) record.
Sydney Kings CEO Chris Pongrass thanked Abdelfattah for his service to the team.
“This was an extremely difficult decision to make - however, we have an obligation to our members and fans and felt a change was needed," Pongrass said.
“We would like to thank Mahmoud for his contributions to the Kings organisation and the Sydney community as a whole.
"He is a well-respected and talented coach and it was a pleasure to work alongside him this season.
"Mahmoud’s character, work ethic and constant positive outlook cannot be questioned.
“We are grateful for everything he has done this season and for the impact he made on this club.
"We thank Mahmoud for his commitment this past season.”
