Scott Parkinson out as head coach of Gotham FC

Gotham FC announced that the club and former head coach Scott Parkinson agreed to part ways, effective immediately. The club has yet to name an interim head coach, per a statement issued on Twitter. Gotham next play the Houston Dash in Texas on Wednesday, August 17, at 8:30 pm ET.

As of the publication of this post, the only official statements from the club have been issued on Twitter. The brief nature of the statements, and the absence of an interim successor, suggest that this was an unexpected decision.

Even so, the news doesn’t come as a complete surprise.
