In an announcement that came as a surprise to the club's directors, Ricardo Pereira, the first-team coach, has officially expressed his wish to leave the club to embark on a new sporting project.
Ricardo Pereira arrived at Lausanne City FC in July 2024, and despite the difficulties the first team experienced during the first round, he was able to establish his vision and leadership, which proved decisive in helping them finish the group stage.
However, after careful consideration, the Portuguese coach decided it was time for him to explore new opportunities.
"It was not an easy decision to make, but I feel the need to take on new challenges and explore new horizons,’ said Ricardo at the time of his announcement."
The club president, while expressing his gratitude to Ricardo for his dedication and efforts, also emphasised the positive impact he had had on the players during this complicated first round.
"We understand and respect his decision. We wish him all the best in his future sporting endeavours," he said.
As the club prepares to enter a new phase and prepare for the second round, Ricardo Pereira, for his part, is preparing to embrace this new chapter in his career. The details of his next sporting project have yet to be revealed, but one thing is certain: his time at the club will go down in history.
