NYCFC, David Lee: "Johnson has given everything to this club since he arrived, but we understand his decision"

NYCFC sporting director David Lee spoke on the sidelines of Sean Johnson's departure: “We would like to thank Sean for all the hard work and leadership he has given this club both on and off the field. Sean has been a fantastic leader and professional since the day he arrived and ultimately played such a big part in the Club winning our first MLS Cup in 2021.

“Sean has also been a role model and we have been proud of the work he has done in the community and his role on the Executive Board of Black Players for Change. Sean has given everything to this club since he arrived, but we understand his decision to take on a new challenge and do what he feels is best for him and his family. We wish him only the best in the next stage of his career."
