After three successful seasons with Brian Crossman at the helm, the Chattanooga Football Club is looking for a new coach.
Crossman guided CFC from the soccer club’s launch in 2009 through the 2011 season, going 20-10-4, but general manager Sean McDaniel said the CFC board felt it was time to go in a different direction, so Crossman’s contract was not renewed.
“Brian did a spectacular job given that we were a start-up entity, and he managed a lot of things extremely well,” said McDaniel, who played for Crossman at Covenant College. “The dynamic of the club has changed as we’re trying to do other programs with the youth [leagues], our relationship with [Major League Soccer], and it’s going to require maybe some different expertise.
“Quite frankly, it may have just been time for a change.”
Crossman declined to comment on his departure but said he enjoyed his three seasons with CFC.
