Jim Curtin's departure from the Philadelphia Union shocked many, including those within the organization, as he was a beloved figure who brought significant success during his 11-year tenure.
Curtin, a two-time MLS Coach of the Year, embodied the values of the Philadelphia Union, having risen through the ranks from the academy to head coach over 14 years.
The phrase 'parting of ways' is a euphemism, as sources indicate Curtin was essentially fired due to the team's failure to make the playoffs for the first time since 2017.
Insiders suggest Curtin was unfairly scapegoated for the Union's struggles, pointing to internal questions about the club's direction and management under owner Sugarman and sporting director Tanner.
