The Columbus Crew have parted ways with head coach Henrik Rydström after just 14 games in charge.
The Swede took over after the departure of the highly successful Wilfried Nancy, but with just three wins from their first 14 MLS games, Rydström’s Crew side have failed to live up to expectations mightily.

According to The Athletic’s Tom Bogert, Rystdröm never ‘got buy in’ from the Columbus dressing room.
“We unfortunately have not capitalized on opportunities or produced the results that our Club and supporters deserve,” said Columbus General Manager Issa Tall in a statement.
“We are confident that we have the talent on our roster to consistently compete for championships, and we believe this change best positions us to accomplish that goal with the number of matches we have left this season.
“We thank Henrik for his commitment to the Crew, and we expect a successful transition based on Laurent’s familiarity with our Club, players and league.”
Crew assistant, and former CF Montréal head coach, Laurent Courtois will take over on an interim basis.
