Ron Jans has resigned from his position as the head coach of FC Cincinnati amid an ongoing MLS investigation into allegations that he used a racist slur in front of players.
The club confirmed on Tuesday that Jans had departed his position on their official website with a statement from president Jeff Berding:
"As Major League Soccer's investigation unfolded and some themes emerged, Ron offered his resignation and we agreed that it was the best course of action for everyone involved with FC Cincinnati.
"We place the utmost importance on a strong culture within our club, beginning in our locker room, and that every person connected with FC Cincinnati feels valued, respected and trusted.
