Jon Patricof, President of New York City Football Club, is to leave his position at the end of the calendar year.
Patricof, whose three-year contract concludes in December 2018, will join NYCFC’s Board of Directors, thereby ensuring continued strong links between him and the organization. His three years working across a broad range of projects leave him uniquely positioned to advise and support the NYCFC Board in its future strategic direction.
During Jon’s tenure as President, the Club’s first team has qualified for the playoffs for three successive seasons and the youth academy has expanded substantially.
Away from the field, his three years in the organization has seen growth in all areas, including in revenues, in infrastructure with the building and opening of the Club’s Etihad City Football Academy Training Facility in Orangeburg, NY and in the expanding of the Club’s roots into the fabric of the City with supporter club engagement programs and philanthropic projects such as New York City Soccer Initiative.
