There used to be a toggle to switch off the new Teams so that the Contacts tab showed. With today's rollout it seems to be gone.
Additional chat-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for business

I was bothered by this too and then I discovered Speed Dial. Click on "Calls" and on the right there is a Speed Dial pane that shows presence and if you hover over the person it brings up a menu that allows you to initiate a chat or call. It would have been really nice of Microsoft to sync Contacts with Speed Dial.
Dear GLV,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community
Based on your post, I checked alongside us and found the same result as yours. Even checked with multiple test tenants and found the same result. It seems that, at this moment, Contact list feature isn't available in New Teams.
New Teams is still under development and it is suggest sending this feature to the Teams development team by go to Help > Suggest a feature. Feedback submitted in this way reaches the product team directly, and they can add future updates. On this point, cooperation and understanding will be greatly appreciated.
Further move back to classic Teams, please go to More Option (...) > Turn off New Teams.

Thank you for your previous time. Stay safe and healthy.

You can try pinning your most frequent chats to find them a lot easier. In the Chat screen go to Recent, three dots for more options and pin. If someone leaves the business you can unpin and it will return to Recent without losing any of the chat history.
I have the same issue. I want my contact list back in Teams so that i can qucikly find my staff and send them a note. I don't want to have to search through 1500 staff in my company to find my contacts. This is super unfortunate that they got rid of it. I did respond and ask them to put it back 3 months ago and it is still not there and going back to old teams is no longer an option. ;(
Sheri, The Classic Teams is no longer available to us at our job...what our IT guy said is you can "pin" the contacts and they will lined up at the top like the Classic Teams and you don't even have to toggle :-)
