Off the field, his tenure coincided with the building and opening of the Clubâs Etihad City Football Academy Training Facility in Orangeburg, N.Y., as well as the expanding of supporter club engagement programs and philanthropic projects such as New York City Soccer Initiative.
âIt has been an absolute honor to help develop New York City FC during this phase of its evolution and I want to thank all of my colleagues, the New York Yankees, our civic and commercial partners and of course, our fans for their incredible commitment to the Clubâs development,â Patricof said in a statement. âI also feel privileged to have been a part of Major League Soccer at such an exciting time for the sport. There is still much work to accomplish and I am excited to continue my involvement as a member of the board ⌠.â
As part of the announcement, the club indicated a search for Patricofâs successor is already underway.
