Montreal Impact sack manager Garde, hire Cabrera in his place

The Montreal Impact have announced that head coach Remi Garde has been sacked, with former Houston Dynamo boss Wilmer Cabrera replacing him.

Garde has the Impact currently in the seventh and final playoff position in the Eastern Conference, with the club holding a record of 10 wins, 13 losses and four draws.

“Because I have so much respect for Remi as a person and as a professional, it was a very difficult decision to make and it was well thought, but our latest series of failures in the past couple of months and the way the team acts on the field led to that change,” Impact president and CEO Kevin Gilmore said in a club release.
