'I didn't know who to trust anymore' - Jans opens up on FC Cincinnati departure after stepping down for alleged racial slur

The Dutchman says it became clear quickly that he couldn't go back to the club after the coach was investigated for a locker room incident

Former FC Cincinnati coach Ron Jans says that he stepped away from the club because he "wouldn't know who to trust anymore" following a league investigation into the Dutchman's use of a racial slur.

FC Cincy announced Jans' departure on Tuesday, just days after the league opened an investigation into the alleged use of discriminatory language in the team's locker room.

Jans claimed that the word was used while quoting hip-hop lyrics when he used the slur, and the incident was reported by players to the MLS Players Association.
