CF Montréal dismisses head coach Laurent Courtois after winless start to MLS season
CF Montréal has fired head coach Laurent Courtois after a poor start to the Major League Soccer season. The club announced the move Monday, two days after Montreal (0-4-1) lost 3-0 at Nashville SC. Assistant coach Marco Donadel will take over on an interim basis. Montreal is still seeking its first win this season and hasn't scored since a season-opening 3-2 loss to Atlanta United. Courtois was hired on Jan. 9, 2024, after two seasons as head coach of Columbus Crew 2, the reserve team of MLS's Columbus Crew. The 46-year-old native of Lyon, France, helped Montreal reach the Eastern Conference wild-card round in his first season at the helm, losing at home to Atlanta. Montreal next plays Saturday at Chicago Fire as a season-opening seven-game road trip nears an end. The team plays its home opener April 12 against Charlotte FC.

Winless CF Montreal dismiss head coach Laurent Courtois
March 24 - CF Montreal fired head coach Laurent Courtois on Monday amid a winless start to the season. Assistant coach Marco Donadel will take over as interim head coach, which the club said would be the only change to the remaining coaching staff. Montreal hired Courtois, 46, on Jan. 9, 2024, after he spent two seasons as head coach of the Columbus Crew 2. That club won the MLS NEXT Pro championship in 2022. Montreal is 0-4-1 (1 point) following a 3-0 loss to Nashville SC on Saturday. Montreal hasn't scored a goal in more than a month when it lost 3-2 to Atlanta United FC in the season opener on Feb. 22. Last season, Montreal finished eighth in the Eastern Conference (11-13-10, 43 points) and lost to Atlanta on penalty kicks in a wild-card playoff match. Donadel will debut as interim head coach when Montreal visits the Chicago Fire FC on Saturday. Montreal has another road game, this one in Columbus, before it makes its home season debut on April 12 against Charlotte FC. --Field Level Media
