and Frank Lampard in a talent-heavy squad, the
franchise failed to make an impact in the Eastern
Conference
New York City have sacked coach Jason Kreis after their
star-studded squad failed to make the MLS play-offs.
Kreis' side finished eighth in the Eastern Conference, 12
points outside the play-off spots despite having David Villa
for all of the campaign and the likes of Frank Lampard and
Andrea Pirlo for parts of it.
The club said the decision came after a review of a
"disappointing campaign", having set the target of making
the play-offs in their maiden season.
In a statement, New York City president Tom Glick said: "The
decision to part company with Jason and his team after two
years of working together has not been taken lightly and this
is a difficult announcement for all involved.
"We thank Jason for his passion, his efforts and for his
contribution to the historic inaugural season of New York
City FC.
"Many memories of this first season will be indelibly etched
in the minds of all involved with the club and Jason and his
team have played a huge part in that.
"We wish him all the very best in what will undoubtedly be a
continued successful career in soccer management."
Assistant coaches Miles Joseph and CJ Brown have also
departed.
