""He has an idea of how he wants to play, it's very brave, it's very nuanced," said the American. "It's very New Age, modern football, if you will, but in a crazy, mad scientist way. That's who he's been from day one, and it's really gone well. I say meteoric rise because 2021 is when he got his first professional stint as a manager, and since then, he's collected a few titles. Canadian Championship, MLS Leagues Cup, MLS Cup.""
""He was the first black head coach in the history of Major League Soccer to win a title," Gomez explained. "They'd never had a black coach lift the MLS Cup, and he did it with a certain type of brand, and I guess the best way to describe him is he's brave in his football. "Speak to his players and they'll say the result is secondary. Secondary because he wants to implement the brand first, and the rest follows.""
Wilfried Nancy rose quickly through coaching ranks after taking his first professional managerial role in 2021 with CF Montreal. He previously coached under-14 girls and replaced Thierry Henry before moving to Columbus Crew. Nancy's teams emphasize a brave, nuanced, modern, "mad scientist" style of play that prioritizes a distinct brand over immediate results. He has won multiple trophies including the Canadian Championship, MLS Leagues Cup and MLS Cup. Born in Le Havre in 1977 to a father from Guadeloupe and a mother from West Africa, he became the first black head coach in MLS history to win the MLS Cup.
