The Columbus Crew's makeover continues.
Caleb Porter is back on the MLS sidelines as the new manager of the club, while former Toronto FC general manager Tim Bezbatchenko has been named the club's president and will direct its business and sporting operations, the team announced on Friday.
Porter, the former Portland Timbers coach who guided the club to the 2015 MLS Cup title, sat the last year out after departing Portland following the 2017 MLS season. It appeared earlier in the offseason that Porter was going to be taking over as coach of the LA Galaxy instead, as he was spotted sitting courtside with team president (and Porter's former college roommate) Chris Klein and new Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese at a recent Lakers-Heat NBA game.
