“We would like to thank Michael for his contributions and wish him all the best in his future endeavours. He was an integral part of our inaugural season, and we will always be thankful,” said Pacific FC, CEO Rob Friend in a Friday morning statement. “Like any business, soccer is a results-based business. We felt we weren’t getting the results on the pitch that our fans deserve. As an ownership group, we decided to make the coaching change now, rather than wait until the offseason.”
In both the spring and fall sessions, the Pacific FC squad combined for a 7, 7, 13 record.
Pacific Football Club returns home to Vancouver Island for the last CPL action of the year versus Valour FC this Saturday, Oct. 19 at Westhills Stadium. Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. with gates open at 1:30.
