Leitao, who was hired by former athletic director Jean Lenti-Ponsetto, was brought in over names like Bobby Hurley and Bryce Drew in 2015 in order to try and lead the Blue Demons back to the NCAA Tournament, a feat accomplished by Leitao in his first stint with the school (2002-05).
“After evaluating where our men’s basketball program is currently and where we envision it to be moving forward, a decision was made to make a change in the head coaching position,” athletic director DeWayne Peevy said in a statement.
He thanked Leitao “for his many contributions to the program” and said a national search for the program’s 15th coach will begin immediately.
Leitao, signed through the 2023-24 season, was 127-146 over nine years at DePaul. He is 212-241 in 15 seasons as a college head coach, with stops at Northeastern and Virginia.
The Blue Demons went 58-34 from 2002 to 2005 with winning records in all three seasons as a member of Conference USA and its most recent NCAA Tournament appearance in 2004.
