Jim Curtin named MLS Coach of the Year

Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin narrowly beat out CF Montreal’s Wilfried Nancy to win the Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year award for the second time in his career.

Curtin beat Nancy by just 0.10% of the overall vote with an average of 23.57 percent in the voting.

Nancy received nearly 44 percent of the media vote but the players vote and GM vote gave Curtin the edge in the overall average.

Curtin is the fifth MLS coach to repeat as Coach of the Year.
