Dell will be pursuing another position in the soccer industry, per the club.
Dell was the first general manager for the expansion Racing Louisville, hired in March 2023, and the club said it intends to fill the position quickly. The new GM will need to get to work right away, with the National Women’s Soccer League free-agent signing period opening Dec. 10.
“We appreciate Ryan’s effort and contributions over the past two seasons,” said John Neace, the chairman of Racing Louisville’s parent company, Soccer Holdings. “While we fell just short of our goal of making the NWSL playoffs this year, Ryan departs having helped us establish a core group of players who will be competitive in 2025 and beyond. Along with the coaching staff, they promise to make next season an exciting one for us. We wish Ryan the very best in his next career move. He has a bright future.”
Racing Louisville played their first game on April 10, 2021, a 2-2 draw against the Orlando Pride.
In four seasons — two under Dell — the club has a 23-40-31 record, including 7-12-7 (28 points) this season.
Before joining Racing Louisville, Dell had worked for USA Soccer since 2013, most recently as manager for the U.S. women’s national team.
