Orlando City has decided to part ways with coach Óscar Pareja just three games into the season.

After seven years at the helm, Pareja leaves the club with an overall record of 103-66-72.

“While it is the right time for both me and the Club to move in new directions, I leave proud of the work we did and with deep appreciation for the people who made it possible,” Pareja said, according to Orlando City SC.

“Orlando will always have a special place in my heart, and I wish the team nothing but success in the future.”

The decision comes after Orlando opened the 2026 season with three consecutive losses.

Ricardo Moreira, the club’s general manager and sporting director, said that it was time for Orlando to go in a new direction, per Orlando City SC.

Former assistant coach Martín Perelman will take over as interim head coach. Orlando will look to secure its first win of the season Saturday when it plays CF Montréal at Inter & Co Stadium.
