  • FC Edmonton set to name new general manager


    Guest

    The change continues in Edmonton after the Eddies' last-place finish in the NASL last season.

    The team announced on Monday that it has parted ways with general manager Tom Leip, who had joined the team in May 2011, while also announcing that his replacement will be made known by the end of the week.

    "This is not a situation where we have to do an extended search," team owner Tom Fath said in a statement.

    The news comes a month and a half after Colin Miller was named the team's head coach, taking over from Harry Sinkgraven.

    The team's release did suggest the new GM would be someone with deep ties to the local community, as made evident in a quote from Fath.

    "Our next general manager will be given the crucial task of working towards a permanent facility that the community can enjoy and FC Edmonton can call home, while at the same time working with our technical staff to ensure success on the field."

    FC Edmonton currently plays at Clarke Stadium, but has also played at Foote Field and Commonwealth Stadium since the team's founding in 2010.

    CSN will provide updates when more information becomes available.
