The second longest tenured head coach in MLS is getting a two-year extension on his contract.
The Philadelphia Union announced Wednesday that Oreland, Pa. native Jim Curtin has had his contract extended through the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
“Jim has undoubtedly proved himself to be one of the best coaches in the league,” said Union Sporting Director, Ernst Tanner in a news release. “Jim remains committed and passionate about winning trophies as well as the development of our young players. Under his coaching, the club has broken multiple records, won their first trophy, and has seen two young Homegrown players transfer to Europe and secure regular USMNT appearances.
