Orlando City CEO Alex Leitão stepped down from his position with the club Wednesday at the midpoint of his seventh season with the club.
Although he will no longer operate as CEO, Leitão will remain in an advisory position to the Lions. The decision came one week after the Wilf family assumed ownership of the club.
Leitão’s exit now leaves a major vacancy in leadership for the Lions, giving the Wilf family the opportunity to fill the position with leadership of their own.
“On behalf of the entire organization, I’d like to thank Alex for everything he has given to Orlando City and the Orlando Pride during his time with the club,” new chairman Mark Wilf said.
