Major League Soccer side NYC FC President Tom Glick "will not leave the club" as reported, sources familiar with the matter told SBD Global. Metro.us on Monday reported that Glick will leave the expansion team to re-join English Premier League club Man City. Sources confirmed the franchise "engaged" a headhunting firm, reported to be L.A.-based Korn Ferry. However, the sources said this is simply to "further augment the leadership team" of a growing business. One source said, "[It] does not in any way, shape, or form mean that somebody like Tom or somebody like (NYC FC Managing Dir) Ferran (Soriano) would be on their way out." Glick took over as NYC FC president on Feb. 1 after his predecessor, Tim Pernetti, left the club to join WME-IMG as President of Multimedia, IMG College.
