The Suns have found their next head coach.
Phoenix announced Wednesday they have tabbed Jazz assistant Igor Kokoskov as their new head coach.
Kokoskov, who is from Serbia, will be the first European-born head coach in NBA history.
The Suns fired head coach Earl Watson after an 0-3 start to the season and announced they would not be retaining Jay Triano as the head man after he served the final 79 games as the interim leader of the team.
Kokoskov, 46, has been an assistant for the Jazz since 2015 and was the coach for the Slovenian national team from 2016-17.
Interestingly the Suns, who finished with the worst record in the NBA (21-61), have a great shot at getting the No. 1 pick. Luka Doncic, who is considered to be in the running for the top pick, played for Kokoskov in Eurobasket in 2017.
