Frank Paul Vogel, the head coach for the Phoenix Suns of the NBA, has been married to his wife Jenifer since 2002 and has two daughters, Alexa, and Arianna Vogel.
He was named the head coach of the Suns on June 2, 2023. Before that, he served as the assistant coach for Celtics, 76ers, Pacers, Magic, and the Lakers.
He was born on June 21, 1973. Vogel’s childhood hometown of Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, played a pivotal role in shaping his upbringing.

In a stroke of luck, he was invited to showcase his unique skill on a special episode of Late Night with David Letterman.
Vogel’s appearance on the show was met with resounding applause as he astounded the audience with his extraordinary ability: effortlessly spinning a basketball on a toothbrush while brushing his teeth.

Frank Vogel, New head Coach of Phoenix Suns
In a significant move for both the Phoenix Suns and Frank Vogel, the franchise has chosen Vogel as their new head coach.
Reports from reliable sources, including The Athletic and Stadium’s Shams Charania, indicate that the Suns and Vogel are in the final stages of negotiating a substantial five-year contract worth $31 million.
Vogel’s appointment comes as a replacement for Monty Williams, who had served as the head coach for the Suns over the past four seasons.
Following the Suns’ exit in the conference semifinals, where they fell to the Nuggets in six hard-fought games, the organization made the decision to part ways with Williams.
Shortly after his departure, Williams found a new coaching opportunity with the Detroit Pistons. He signed a six-year contract worth $78.5 million, solidifying his position as the highest-paid head coach in NBA history.
