Philadelphia Union coach Jim Curtin has been named Major League Soccer’s Coach of the Year.
Curtin led the team to its first Supporters’ Shield as the Union finished the coronavirus-shortened season with a league-best 14-4-5 record.
Philadelphia averaged 2.04 points per game to finish atop the league and allowed a league-low 20 goals.
“Fortunately, I had a group of players who went out on the field and really, really performed each and every day,” Curtin said. “We just try as coaches to create an environment where they can learn and grow and improve, and that’s what we think we’ve done a decent job of this year.
