MLS - CF Montréal named Wilfried Nancy head coach

CF Montréal have acted swiftly to find Thierry Henry’s replacement, naming Wilfried Nancy head coach on Monday.

Nancy, a first-team assistant coach since 2016, steps in for Henry, who announced his departure citing family reasons, on Feb. 25.

Nancy has worked his way up through the CF Montréal system, previously serving as a coach at the club’s academy since its inception in 2011. During that time, he coached the U18 team, from 2011-13, the U21 team in 2014, and the U16 team in 2014 and 2015.
