"I want to thank Oscar for the dedication, leadership and professionalism he brought to our club. He delivered one of the most significant moments in Orlando City's history with the 2022 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and helped establish the competitive foundation that has propelled us forward, highlighted by our active club-record run of six straight playoff appearances, which is currently the longest streak in MLS."
"At the same time, we believe this is the right moment to take the club in a new direction as we look to the next phase of our growth and ambitions. We are grateful for everything Oscar has contributed and wish him nothing but success in the next chapter of his career."
Orlando City terminated Oscar Pareja's six-year contract as head coach following a poor start to the season marked by three consecutive defeats, culminating in a 5-0 loss to New York City FC. Assistant coach Martín Perelman was promoted to interim head coach and will lead the team against CF Montreal on Saturday. General manager Ricardo Moreira acknowledged Pareja's significant contributions, including winning the 2022 Lamar Hunt US Open Cup and establishing a foundation that produced six consecutive playoff appearances, the longest streak in MLS. Despite these achievements, the club decided to move in a new direction. Pareja compiled 110 wins, 75 losses, and 56 draws across all competitions during his tenure.
