MONTREAL – CF Montréal is looking for a new owner — and a new coach.
Two days after owner Joey Saputo announced the Major League Soccer club is going up for sale, his son, managing director Luca, said “caretaker” manager Philippe Eullaffroy would not return as first-team head coach next season.
Eullaffroy, who will find a new role within the organization, replaced Marco Donadel on an interim basis in April after Montreal opened the season with six losses in seven games.
The rest of the campaign wasn’t much better. Montreal finished last in the Eastern Conference with six wins, 20 losses and eight draws for 26 points — its lowest total since joining MLS in 2012.
Montreal is scheduled to open the 2027 MLS sprint season on Feb. 21 against Charlotte FC.
While Joey Saputo said he would prefer to keep the team in Montreal, he left the door open to relocation if he can’t find a suitable local buyer.
