New York Red Bulls Part Ways with Head Coach and Sporting Director

Club to Launch Searches for New Leadership as Part of Strategy to Change Fan Perception

The New York Red Bulls have parted ways with head coach Troy Lesesne, sporting director Denis Hamlett, and assistant coach Zach Prince.
Lesesne, who took over as head coach in May 2023, led the team to finish 11-13-10 and reach the Eastern Conference quarterfinals of the MLS Cup playoffs.
Hamlett, who served as the sporting director for seven seasons, saw the team make seven straight playoff appearances and win the Supporters' Shield during his tenure.
The Red Bulls have announced they will launch searches for a new head coach and sporting director.
The team's decision not to renew Lesesne's contract is part of a larger effort to change the fanbase's perception of the club's intentions and promises of significant investment in the squad.
