MONTREAL - Head coach Jesse Marsch is leaving the Montreal Impact after one season in Major League Soccer.
The shock announcement came Saturday morning, days after the club ended its expansion season with a better-then-expected 12-16-6 record.
''This is not a dismissal or a resignation,'' said team president Joey Saputo, adding that Marsch and team management had differences of opinion on how the team would be run.
He said both sides agreed it was better for the team to part ways.
Goalkeepers coach Preston Burpo and conditioning coach Adam Rotchstein were also axed.
Assistant coaches Mike Sorber, Mauro Biello and Denis Hamlett will remain with the team.
