New York City FC and head coach Domènec Torrent mutually agreed to part ways Friday.
NYCFC finished first in the Eastern Conference in 2019, the club’s first full season under Torrent. The campaign ended in disappointing fashion without a MLS Cup playoff victory. NYCFC suffered a home loss to Toronto FC in the Eastern Conference semifinals. With Yankee Stadium was unavailable due to the New York Yankees’ Major League Baseball postseason run, the game was played at Citi Field, home of the New York Mets.
Speculation of Torrent’s impending departure cropped up in the immediate aftermath of the Toronto loss.
