""We are deeply grateful for all that Jochen has brought to our organization during his time here," said club president Marc de Grandpré. "Jochen's expertise and leadership were instrumental in assembling a team that has competed at the highest level. While we are saddened to see him depart, he will always be part of the family. We fully respect his decision and wish him and his family all the best in the days and months ahead.""
""At the same time, we know Julian will build on Jochen's great work and continue to strengthen the foundation that has been set. We would also like to thank Sandro for his dedication in leading our team on the pitch over the last two seasons. His professionalism and commitment have left a lasting impact on the organization, and we will always remember him for securing our first Eastern Conference Championship.""
The New York Red Bulls announced a sporting leadership overhaul: manager Sandro Schwarz was dismissed and sporting director Jochen Schneider resigned to return to Europe. Julian de Guzman was promoted from sporting director of the reserve side to sporting director of the first team after two seasons in that role. The changes followed a 2025 season in which the Red Bulls missed the playoffs for the first time in 15 seasons; the team had reached the 2024 MLS Cup final, losing 2-1 to LA Galaxy. Schneider, hired in 2022, acquired Emil Forsberg and Eric Choupo-Moting and prioritized promoting academy players; the first-team roster included 12 academy players.
