Jim CurtinThe Oreland native’s 10 years in charge made him the longest-tenured manager by far in Union history, and the second-longest-tenured in Major League Soccer through last season. This year ended with the team’s first failure to make the playoffs since 2017.“We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Jim for his passion and dedication to this club over the last ten seasons,” sporting director Ernst Tanner said in a statement.
Sugarman also said “we have no doubt he’ll find great success in his future coaching endeavors,” and he had better hope that success doesn’t come against his team. Eastern Conference rival Atlanta United is among the many MLS teams with coaching vacancies right now, and would give him all the resources he never had with his hometown club.
So why do it? There’s doubtless been annoyance with how this year went. Some fans — and they’ve been plenty loud over the years, if not always numerous — point at Curtin’s track record of failures in big games: three U.S. Open Cup finals, two Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals, and most painfully of all the 2022 MLS Cup final.
