91裸聊视频淏enjam铆n led by example and instilled a sense of belief in the group that will be harnessed moving forward. We wish him well for the future.91裸聊视频�

In a video posted on social media, Mora said he was unable to reach an agreement on a new contract. He thanked York91裸聊视频檚 ownership for the opportunity.

York91裸聊视频檚 new Mexican ownership group fired former Canadian international Martin Nash as coach May 21 with the club sitting fifth at 2-3-1. Assistant coach Mauro Eustaquio took the helm until Mora was put in charge, making his debut on the sidelines June 9 in a 2-2 tie with visiting Vancouver FC.

The 45-year-old Mexican spent a year in charge of Mexico91裸聊视频檚 Atlas FC, taking over the Guadalajara-based team in October 2022 after winning a title in Malaysia with Johor Darul Ta91裸聊视频檢im FC. He was fired by Atlas last October, with the club 13th in the Liga MX standings.

Mora led York to fourth place in the standings at 11-11-6. York91裸聊视频檚 39 points were a franchise record, surpassing the previous best of 38 set in 2023.

York clinched a playoff spot with three weeks to spare this season, defeating Pacific FC 2-0 in the fourth-versus-fifth playoff 91裸聊视频� its first-ever post-season victory 91裸聊视频� before falling to No. 3 Atletico Ottawa in a penalty shootout in the Oct. 27 quarterfinal.

York set club records for home points (24) and wins (seven) in recording a 7-4-3 record at home. Only regular-season champion Forge FC collected more points at home (11-2-1, 34 points)

York finished the regular season with just two wins and seven goals in its last 10 games (2-6-2). After starting 6-1-2 at York Lions Stadium, York stumbled to a 1-3-2 record there ahead of the playoffs.

Still, Mora was a finalist for coach of the year, along with Forge FC91裸聊视频檚 Bobby Smyrniotis, the eventual winner, and Cavalry FC91裸聊视频檚 Tommy Wheeldon Jr.

Pasquel said the search for a new coach is underway.

91裸聊视频淚nevitably, there is quite a lot of interest in the position and a large number of candidates to meet with,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淲e are extremely excited by what91裸聊视频檚 ahead and look forward to building on the solid foundations laid in 2024.91裸聊视频�

The coaching change comes one day after Cavalry FC91裸聊视频檚 2-1 win over Forge in the CPL championship game in Calgary.
