On July 11, Fenwick High School introduced Giovannie Ortiz as its new boys soccer varsity head coach in a press release. But in a stunning turn of events, the position is open again.
Fenwick director of marketing communications Scott Hardesty informed Wednesday Journal in an email, July 15, that the school’s human resource department rescinded its offer to Ortiz and that the search for a new coach would resume. As of press time, no reason has been given as to why the offer was pulled back.
Ortiz was tabbed as a replacement for Adrian Remeniuk, who had been hired in June to replace Craig Blazer. Remeniuk resigned not long after, taking the job for a counseling position at another school.
Fenwick hopes to find a new coach before the beginning of the season. Practice starts Aug. 11.
