More Details

Ramsay will be joined in England by assistant coach Dennis Lawrence. As for the Loons, Minnesota United officials stated they are nearing the end of their search for a replacement and expect to announce a new head coach shortly.

“Eric was instrumental in shaping a team that reflects the values of our club and our community,” said Khaled El-Ahmad, Minnesota’s chief soccer officer and sporting director.

“Alongside Dennis Lawrence and his staff, he helped build a strong football environment grounded in hard work, clarity, and accountability. Their leadership set us up well for what’s ahead, and we are grateful for everything Eric contributed during his time at Minnesota United.

“From day one, we have supported Eric’s professional ambitions, and we wish him nothing but success as he takes on this next opportunity. We are confident in the foundation in place and will continue to build with purpose and continuity moving forward.”

At just 32 years old, Ramsay made history as the youngest head coach in MLS when he took over Minnesota United early in the 2024 season. Throughout his two-year tenure, he guided the “Loons” to a solid 38–27–16 record across 81 competitive matches.

His leadership peaked in 2025, a year where the club achieved franchise highs with 16 regular-season victories and 58 points. That standout performance secured a fourth-place finish in the Western Conference and a spot in the Conference Semifinals of the MLS Cup Playoffs.

“We’re incredibly grateful for our time in Minnesota,” said Ramsay, who was previously an assistant at English Premier League side Manchester United. “We’ve made friends for life, experienced a part of the world we may never otherwise have seen, and shared something truly special as a family.

“Two seasons have flown by, but I’ll look back with nothing but fond memories and real pride in what we achieved together. I’ve had the privilege of working with an outstanding staff and a talented group of players who have been honest, professional, and committed, all backed by the tremendous support of the Loons’ fanbase.

“Thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome from the very beginning. We will be lifelong supporters of Minnesota United and will always remember everything Minnesota has given us.”
