The 45-year-old Nancy had been with the organization since 2011, heading the academy. He joined the first team as an assistant coach in 2016 and was promoted to head coach ahead of the 2021 season with the departure of Thierry Henry.

In two seasons as head coach, Nancy posted a mark of 37-17-23 (.468) and won a Canadian Championship in 2021.

More to come.
