New York City FC parts ways with head coach Jason Kreis

Jason Kreis has had his tenure with New York City FC cut short, as the club announced Monday evening the two have mutually agreed to part ways.

The club said it made the decision following a review at the end of its expansion season in Major League Soccer. NYCFC also parts ways with assistants Miles Joseph and CJ Brown.

"Prior to the start of the season, it was agreed with the coaching team that securing of a playoff place was an appropriate target for this year," the club said in a statement. "A win rate of less than one in three games and a points tally which was the second lowest in the league is clearly not in line with the targets that were agreed."

Kreis, 42, took over as NYCFC's head coach upon its birth in 2013 and guided the club through expansion, before kicking off in the 2015 season. He went 10-17-7 in the team's inaugural year.
