"It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to return to Switzerland after the 2024 season for personal reasons," Heitz was quoted as saying on the MLS club's website, without giving any details.

Heitz joined Chicago at the end of 2019 after nine successful years with FC Basel. Under his leadership, the US club built up a cross-club network with the takeover of FC Lugano.

The 54-year-old Basel native will remain a member of the Board of Directors of FC Lugano and play a key role in the relationship between the two clubs, the Fire announced.
