Curtin had gone just over a year since the last time he was named Coach of the Week, and both his August 2017 recognition for guiding his team to a victory over FC Dallas — a week in which John McCarthy, Ilsinho, and CJ Sapong were also honored — and this week’s were well-deserved. The Union’s fourth win away from home puts them in fifth place in the Eastern Conference and in a strong position at the start of a five match run that sees them face four teams competing with them for the final two playoff spots.
