CF Montréal Fires Head Coach Marco Donadel

CF Montreal fired head coach Marco Donadel on Sunday after a difficult start to the 2026 Major League Soccer season, naming Philippe Eullaffroy as interim coach.
Montreal fell to 1-6-1 after a 2-1 loss Saturday to Philadelphia Union at Stade Saputo, leaving the team second-last in the standings.
Donadel, the club's 11th head coach since joining MLS in 2012, posted a 7-20-9 record. He replaced Laurent Courtois on March 24, 2025, holding the position for six months.
Alongside Donadel, the organization dismissed assistant coaches Jacopo Falanga and Lorenzo Pinzauti. Eullaffroy assumes control immediately while the club searches for a permanent head coach.
Fans are holding out hope the team can turn its fortunes around after a long road trip to start the season. Eullaffroy faces the challenge of stabilizing squad performance.
