On a bitterly cold night in Chester, Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin became the second-youngest coach in MLS history to reach 100 wins.
After the 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes, Curtin was surprised by his players in the locker room with a jersey and a plague commemorating the milestone.
“I’m proud to have been with Philadelphia for the length of time that I have,” Curtin said in the post-game press conference. “I’m proud that our ownership believed in me, even when things were difficult early on.”
Curtin was quick to deflect attention on his milestone and give credit to his staff and players.
