My impression was that there were two open positions, one for a lead and one for a manager. The team wanted to promote someone from within to be lead and look for a new manager because they didn't have a good candidate to promote from within. The company moved a new manager in from another part of the company and this manager brought in their choice for lead, displacing the person that was favored by the team.
