Orlando City Chief Soccer Officer Armando Carneiro Resigns for Personal Reasons

The former Benfica academy director spent less than two months on the job and his hiring led to GM Paul McDonough leaving the club.

A whirlwind off-season continues for the Orlando City front office on this Monday morning following the holiday break, as the Orlando City SC Board of Directors announced Armando Carneiro has stepped down as Chief Soccer Officer, citing personal reasons. Lions Founder and President Phil Rawlins will manage all soccer related activities for the next several months, working closely with the club's three head coaches, while a new leader of soccer operations is recruited.
