The rumors circulating last week turned out to be true: Ronny Deila has left New York City FC to take over as manager of Belgian side Standard de Léige in a deal that was finalized over the weekend and made public this morning. Deila is reportedly already in Belgium where Standard started preseason training today, and he is expected to run his first practice tomorrow.
NYCFC named Nick Cushing interim head coach, and will be on the touchline this Sunday when New York City face Colorado Rapids at Yankee Stadium.
