Crew 2 names Laurent Courtois first-ever head coach
Just under two months after announcing the creation of Crew 2 as part of the new MLS Next Pro league, the Columbus Crew is set to appoint the reserve team’s first-ever head coach. Massive Report confirmed with club sources that the Black & Gold have hired Laurent Courtois to lead Crew 2 for the team’s initial season.
Courtois, 43, has a long background as a professional player and has served in various coaching roles since retiring from playing in the summer of 2014. Most recently, Courtois held the role of the Under-19 head coach in the Crew Academy, making this a promotion of sorts within the club.
