FC Cincinnati head coach Ron Jans resigned on Monday evening following an investigation into his alledged use of a racial slur.
In the midst of his first pre-season with the club after being hired midway through FC Cincy's first MLS campaign, Jans stepped away from the team over the weekend after a complaint was made by the Major League Soccer Players Association.
The complaint stated Jans allegedly made "extremely inappropriate comments" while calling for an investigation into the incident.

Multiple reports stated that the comment in question was a racial slur, with Jans later claiming that the slur was used as part of a quote of hip-hop lyrics.
