The Halifax Wanderers announced Friday that Patrice Gheisar will not return as head coach for the 2026 Canadian Premier League season.
“I would like to thank Patrice for his significant contributions to the Halifax Wanderers over the past three seasons,” Halifax Wanderers Founder and President Derek Martin said. “Patrice brought a tireless work ethic and infectious energy to our club and our community while leading us to some memorable victories and a number of record-setting achievements on the pitch.”
Gheisar was named the second head coach in club history on November 30, 2022. In his first season, he led the Wanderers to their first-ever appearance in the CPL playoffs while setting a club record for most wins in a season, most points, and fewest goals conceded. The Wanderers then extended Gheisar’s contract through the end of 2025. This past season, Halifax returned to the playoffs, setting a club record for goals scored and away points.
“When I arrived here three years ago, I spoke about building something lasting — a culture, an identity, and a belief that we could compete with anyone through hard work, courage, and unity. Looking back, I’m proud of how far we’ve come together,” Gheisar said.
"I am grateful for everything and the trust that Derek, Matt and Mark put into me. As I move on to my next challenge, I’ll always remain a fan of this club and of the people who make it special. The foundation we’ve built here is strong — and I have no doubt that even greater things are ahead.”
