Triano joined Sacramento's staff for the 2022-23 season, in which the Kings snapped a 17-year playoff drought and finished as the Western Conference's No. 3 playoff seed. He was promoted to associate head coach after the 2023-24 season following the departure of Jordi Fernandez, who took the job as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.

Dipesh Mistry and Stephane Ingo will remain on the staff, a source told NBC Sports California. Mistry has had many roles since joining the Kings in 2023, but he most recently served as the head video coordinator and player development coach. Ingo joined the Kings this past season as a video coordinator.

The Athletic's Anthony Slater and Sam Amick reported, citing sources, that Leandro Barbosa also will return to Christie's new staff.
