"NYCFC head coach Pascal Jansen NYCFC New York City FC (NYCFC) CEO Brad Sims believes the club really got it right by appointing head coach Pascal Jensen ahead of the 2025 MLS season as NYCFC prepares for a six-game stretch that will define Jansen's first season in charge. NYCFC currently finds itself in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with six games of the regular season left to play but boasts games in hand on almost every team in the top seven."
"Those games in hand, coupled with a number of fixtures against direct play-off rivals in the remaining six games of the season, mean there is every chance that NYCFC can not only lock in a play-off berth but also secure a place in the top four, which would guarantee two home fixtures in the best-of-three series for the opening round."
Pascal Jansen leads NYCFC into a decisive six-game stretch with the club sitting eighth in the Eastern Conference and holding games in hand on most top-seven teams. Those extra matches and several fixtures against direct play-off rivals provide a clear path to a play-off berth and a potential top-four finish that would secure two home games in the opening round. A challenging schedule includes five matches versus higher-ranked opponents and an away game at New York Red Bulls, creating risk of missing the play-offs. The team averages 1.68 points per game through 28 matches and has the second-youngest roster at 24.8 years. After selling Mounsef Bakrar, the club elevated 17-year-old Seymour Reid as a replacement, and Reid has since opened his NYCFC account.
