MEMPHIS, Tennessee - Memphis 901 FC has announced that Head Coach Tim Mulqueen has been relieved of his coaching duties and Assistant Coach Ben Pirmann has been named Interim Head Coach effective immediately.

We are proud that he will always be the first head coach in our franchise's history," said Sporting Director Tim Howard. "Unfortunately, the results have fallen short of our expectations. I wish Mulch nothing but the very best in his future coaching endeavors. The Club will quickly move forward in conducting an international search for our next Head Coach."
