Paul Buckle has announced his departure from Sacramento Republic FC.

The former Technical Director and Head Coach is departing in a mutual agreement between himself and the club.

The team’s website has a statement from CEO and Chairman Kevin Nagle:

“On behalf of Republic FC, we are grateful for Paul’s contributions during his tenure at the club including successive playoff appearances and our 2016 Western Conference Regular Season title. His vast experience in youth development has served as a cornerstone for our Academy, the benefits of which we are already witnessing, and the call up of several of our USL players to MLS clubs has also demonstrated his player development skills. We wish Paul and his family all the best.”

Under Buckle, the club’s USL record was 31-19-21. He has been with the team since July 12, 2015.

Buckle says

“I will forever be grateful to the club, and especially to Warren and Kevin, for the opportunity to coach our incredible players and to do so in front of our incredible fans. I have great pride in what we accomplished together and have full confidence that the club is in great hands with its new leadership who will continue to carry Sacramento Republic FC forward for this community.”
