CF Montreal fires coach Hernan Losada after team misses playoffs

Nov 9, 2023 | 7:28 AM

MONTREAL — Hernan Losada is out as head coach of CF Montreal.

The club announced his firing this morning in a news release.

The move comes after the Major League Soccer team came two points short of the playoff cut.

Montreal will begin its search for a new head coach for a second straight off-season after coach-of-the-year finalist Wilfried Nancy left the club last December to join the Columbus Crew.

Losada, a 41-year-old from Argentina, took over later that month on a two-year contract with an option for a third.

Montreal finished 10th in the Eastern Conference this past season with 41 points and a 12-17-5 record.
