The Columbus Crew is set to begin the 2023 Major League Socer campaign this Saturday, traveling to take on the Philadelphia Union. The Crew had an intriguing offseason, headlined by a change in head coach. The Black & Gold hired Wilfred Nancy in December to take the reins after their dismissal of Caleb Porter following the 2022 campaign.
This coaching change has no doubt been the biggest news of the offseason for Columbus, as there has been a distinct lack of new signings coming to the team. In fact, the biggest player news has been the departures of several long-time servants in Pedro Santos, Artur and former captain Jonathan Mensah.
