Philadelphia Union head coach Jim Curtin has nothing but high praise for his now former coaching colleague Ben Olsen after his dismissal this week as head coach of DC United.
Now the second longest tenured active coach behind Delran, N.J. native Peter Vermes, Curtin said “I don’t matter in this” on Friday when asked about his moving up that list.
“For me, this could be the longest answer I give,” Curtin said in a press conference over Zoom.
Curtin said he remembers watching Olsen play for FC Delco when he was 14.
