Jim Curtin will be returning for a fifth season as head coach of the Philadelphia Union in 2018, Sporting Director Earnie Stewart announced on Wednesday.
“I think he’s a big part of this foundation that we’ve laid down,” Stewart said. “When we talk about progress, the system based approach and the stability of a good organization, continuity is very important.”
The third head coach in club history, Curtin was promoted to the role in June 2014 after John Hackworth was fired and had the interim tag lifted ahead of the 2015 season.
