RBNY were knocked out of the playoffs in the recently concluded season after they went down against FC Cincinnati in the first round. The club started the 2023 season with Gerhard Struber as their manager but after his departure, Troy Lesense took over for the remainder of the campaign. Earlier in November, Lesense's contract was not extended.
Now, Schwarz will look to build off it.
