Columbus Crew have announced that they will part company with president Mark McCullers next month.
Crew chairman and investor-operate Anthony Precourt has revealed that McCullers, who has been involved with the Ohio club for 15 years, will step down as president on April 30.
McCullers is resigning from his position as president of the Columbus Crew, Crew Stadium and the Crew Soccer Foundation.
"Mark and I had the chance to speak this past weekend, and based upon that conversation, I told him that we would not be extending his contract with the Crew," Precourt said in a statement.
"When we purchased the Crew, we said that we would evaluate the club in a thoughtful and thorough manner.
"After nearly eight months at the helm of the club, Mark and I both agreed that it would make sense for the organization to go in a different direction, so he offered me his resignation, which I accepted."
McCullers, who first arrived at the Crew in 1998, added: "I want to thank Anthony and Precourt Sports Ventures for giving me the opportunity to continue to run this team after the purchase from Hunt Sports Group.
"I am proud of the legacy moments in club history that I have been part of over the past 15 years."
