Cosmos Director of Football Operations Jack Gaeta announced on social media that he will be departing the Cosmos organization yesterday.
It’s been one heck of a ride but it’s time to say goodbye to Cosmos Country. Thank you to everyone who has made these past 8 years an enjoyable and humbling experience. The list is long. Looking forward to the next chapter of my life. #nycosmos pic.twitter.com/u6udqYXLrr

It’s not a stretch to say that Gaeta was instrumental in much of the Cosmos’ modern era success. His often unseen work was paramount to things like Cosmos signing stars like Senna and Raul, preseason tours in foreign countries including Cuba, and all the things make things run smoothly on match day.
Thanks for everything Jack.

So much of what the Cosmos achieved was made possible by his work behind the scenes. We’ll miss you in Cosmos Country. https://t.co/ccODN9vdMV
All the best, el presidente!!!

Back in 2015 in an interview with Empire of Soccer, Marcos Senna talked about the importance of Jack Gaeta, in adjusting off the field to New York life, including taking him house hunting.
Jack Gaeta will always be appreciated and missed by Cosmos supporters for all he has done for the club. We wish him good luck in his future endeavors.
