CF Montréal announced Tuesday the nomination of former Belgium international Laurent Ciman as assistant coach to replace the departing Patrice Bernier.
Sporting Director, Olivier Renard said: “We are very happy that Laurent is joining the coaching staff and that he is back with the Club.
“It is a logical and beneficial association, especially knowing the attachment Laurent has always had for this club and this city. We can now count on his experience after a fruitful career in Europe, in MLS, and on the international stage.”
Given the role involves working closely with the first-team manager, the assumption is that Thierry Henry has chosen the Belgian, possibly in consultation with Olivier Renard.
