YORK UNITED FC PART WAYS WITH HEAD COACH JIMMY BRENNAN 
The search for a successor will begin immediately.

York United FC has parted ways with Head Coach/Manager and Technical Director Jimmy Brennan, 
the club announced today. 

Brennan’s contract expires before the start of the 2022 Canadian Premier League season and will not 
be extended.

The first and only Head Coach in club history, Brennan was unveiled on July 27th, 2018 and in the 
inaugural CPL campaign the following year, The Nine Stripes finished third in the combined table. 
At The Island Games in 2020, there was a fifth-place finish while the team’s 2021 season came 
to an end last Sunday with a 3-1 playoff semi-final defeat to Forge FC at Tim Hortons Field. 

“I want to thank Jimmy for everything he has done coaching this club over the last three years. 
Firstly, there has been his impact on the field but it’s imperative that I also recognize 
and applaud the huge contribution he’s made off the pitch. Without him, the club is probably 
not here today,” says CEO/President and GM Angus McNab. 

“Additionally, there is no way our young players like Max Ferrari, Isaiah Johnston and Lowell Wright 
would be thriving as they are without Jimmy’s support and guidance. There is a strong foundation 
here and we are grateful to Jimmy for having been so crucial in building it.”

Under Brennan’s tutelage, the team’s U-21 players accumulated 9,043 minutes in the 2021 CPL season 
while Diyaeddine Abzi also received his first Canada U-23 cap earlier this year. 

The search for a new Head Coach will begin immediately.
