The Columbus Crew announced on Monday that the team has parted ways with head coach Caleb Porter. This brings to an end a four-year run for Porter with the club and begins a search for the team’s next head coach.
This decision comes after the Crew missed the MLS Cup playoffs in 2022. Following Sunday’s 2-1 loss to Orlando City SC, the Black & Gold finished in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, two points below the MLS Cup playoff line. This was the second straight season Columbus missed the postseason, falling one point shy in 2021, and the third time in his four years in charge of the Crew.
