The Suns finished the regular season with a 49-33 mark, second in the Pacific Division, but were swept in their first-round series by the Minnesota Timberwolves.
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski says former Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer will likely be considered as Vogel's replacement.
A native of Wildwood Crest, NJ, Vogel coached the Los Angeles Lakers to an NBA Championship in 2020.
Along with this three seasons with the Lakers (2019-2022), Vogel served as head coach of the Orlando Magic (2016-2018) and Indiana Pacers (2010-2016).
Vogel has a career record of 480-422 (.532) across 12 NBA seasons.
