CF Montréal Fires Coach Hernán Losada and Assistant Sebastián Setti, Marking 11th MLS Coaching Change in 2023

Losada and Setti dismissed following subpar performance resulting in Montreal failing to reach the MLS playoffs; club ranks 10th among 15 teams in the Eastern Conference.

• CF Montréal has fired coach Hernán Losada and assistant coach Sebastián Setti after a disappointing season in which the team failed to qualify for the MLS playoffs.
• Losada was appointed as the coach last December, succeeding Wilfried Nancy who left to coach Columbus Crew. Under his leadership, Montréal finished 10th among 15 teams in the Eastern Conference with a record of 12 wins, 17 losses, and five draws.
• This follows a successful 2022 season for Montréal, which saw the team reaching the Eastern Conference semifinals of the MLS playoffs. However, the team missed the playoffs by a mere two points and only recording one win in its last nine regular-season games in 2023.
• Before coaching Montréal, Losada led D.C. United to the eighth position in Eastern Conference during the 2021 season, with a record of 14 wins, 15 losses, and five draws. D.C. United dismissed him following a poor start in the 2022 season.
• Losada's firing is the 11th head coach dismissal in the MLS for 2023, highlighting a challenging year for many clubs. His dismissal followed Christian Lattanzio's from Charlotte FC, a team that had managed to reach the playoffs.
