CF Montreal coach Laurent Courtois excited about team’s late-season surge
As Saba Lobzhanidze slotted Atlanta United’s fifth and final penalty into the bottom corner, CF Montreal’s playoff run – and season – came to a sudden, premature end.
Once as low as 14th in the standings, the club was energized by new signings and a growing grasp of head coach Laurent Courtois’ tactics. In his first year managing the professional side, the former Columbus Crew 2 head coach acknowledged the steep learning curve of man-management at the senior level. That challenge came to a head in August when he publicly called out forward Josef Martinez over his on- and off-field attitude.”
One player whose contract situation and relationship with Courtois are on the opposite end of the spectrum is captain Samuel Piette, who was awarded both the defensive player of the year and Jason-Di-Tullio Trophy, awarded to the player who best embodied the spirit of hard work and determination. Despite the mid-table finish, Montreal’s defensive form left a lot to be desired. They conceded the fourth-most goals, had the sixth-worst goal differential, and allowed the second-most expected goals in the league.
