Jim Curtin returning for sixth season as Philadelphia Union head coach

Jim Curtin will be back in 2019 for his sixth season as head coach of the Philadelphia Union.

Sporting Director Ernst Tanner, who began his tenure back in September after Earnie Stewart departed to become the first general manager of the United States Men’s National Team, made it official at a press conference at Talen Energy Stadium on Monday.

“Jim led us to playoffs the second time within a three-years period, his relation to the players from all that I have seen now is very, very good and he’s an expert in developing young players, which will be a clear focus in future as well,” Tanner said.
