New York City FC (NYCFC) has announced the departure of head coach Nick Cushing after his two seasons in charge. The team made the announcement on Tuesday morning, expressing their gratitude for Cushing’s dedication to the club and the city.
During his time with NYCFC, Cushing played a significant role in the team’s success, including winning the Club’s first MLS Cup as an assistant coach and leading the team to a Campeones Cup victory in 2022 as the interim head coach. However, the decision to part ways with Cushing was made as the team looks to move in a new direction for the upcoming 2025 season and beyond.
NYCFC finished sixth in the Eastern Conference this season, ultimately falling to the New York Red Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Cushing, who spent nearly two decades with the City Football Group, brought a wealth of experience and success to the club during his tenure.
CEO Brad Sims expressed his gratitude for Cushing’s contributions and the success he brought to the club. He also thanked the fans for their unwavering support and emphasized the team’s commitment to setting high standards and targets for each season.
As NYCFC prepares for the 2025 season, the club is focused on building upon the foundation laid by Cushing and continuing to strive for excellence on the field. Fans can visit AMNY.com for more information on NYCFC and Nick Cushing as the team looks ahead to the future.
