    WHAT’S NEXT?

    Following a torrid start to the 2025 MLS season, CF Montreal sits at the bottom of both the Eastern Conference and the combined league table with just two points to their name. Their form also saw the club part ways with manager Laurent Courtois, and they’ve yet to appoint a full-time replacement. The club got a surprising draw against the Fire in Chicago on Saturday.
