Austin, TX - Stating, “These times were some of the best in my life,” a tearful Claudio Reyna stated that he would be leaving Austin FC in order to spend more time blackmailing the coaches of his son Gio Reyna.

“You only get a few years to really harass and blackmail coaches for your child,” stated Reyna. “And I’m determined to be present in my son’s life.”

Sources indicate that Reyna may have, in fact, been forced out of his position with the Major League Soccer (MLS) side. However, Reyna took a different tone.

“Too many times I saw players not have a relationship with their children,” stated Reyna. “But I want to be there for him from the moment I call the assistant manager with Dortmund to the time I hire a private investigator to leak information about whichever USMNT coach doesn’t play him in the next world cup.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Reyna takes a sabbatical from his advisor position in order to investigate rumors of the sex lives of Dortmund’s athletic trainers.
