The good news for him is that the feeling is mutual.
After what was described as a rigorous process, Montreal announced Courtois as head coach on Tuesday, less than a week before the start of educational camp in Tucson, Arizona.
Le Lyonnais de 45 ans, qui a signé un contrat de 2 ans, n’en était pas à ses premières entrevues d’embauche, mais tout ce qu’il voyait du Bleu-blanc-noir semblait lui donner confiance qu’il pouvait accomplir de grandes choses à Montréal. Surtout, il avait l’impression d’être chez lui.
C’était pratiquement un rêve d’adulte de signer avec le club. Quand j’ai commencé à parler aux personnes ici, c’est devenu une obsession. Je me sens ici comme je me sens à Lyon ou à l’Olympique lyonnais, a dit Courtois. Il y a tellement de potentiel ici. Quand je vois les commentaires que j’ai reçus de la part d’étrangers ou de mes amis en France, Montréal c’est particulier. En voyant l’effectif potentiel, c’est inévitable pour moi de faire le parallèle avec ce que j’ai connu à Lyon.
Lyon is the key place for Courtois, either as a player or as a coach.
He developed as a midfielder in the centre of Olympique Lyonnais (OL) and moved professionally in 1998 to France’s Ligue 2. After spending time in England and Spain, Courtois made the leap to MLS in 2011, with the now-defunct club Chivas USA. He finished his career as a player-coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy reserve team in 2014.
Courtois returned to Lyon to get his coaching certificate from the French Football Federation. In the meantime, he has supported the young players at OL. However, it was as head coach of the Columbus Crew’s reserve team that he made his mark.
Le Français, qui préconise un style de jeu offensif et rapide, a guidé le Crew 2 vers le titre de champion de la MLS Next Pro, en 2022, et vers une défaite en finale, en 2023. Il a d’ailleurs été nommé entraîneur-chef de l’année en MLS Next Pro en 2022.
I was lucky enough to have talent when I was younger, but I never felt directed, I felt more used,” he explained. When I did this education, I told myself that I was looking to help players my age. I don’t have all those successes just in Columbus. We made sure everyone was comfortable. When you manage to create that connection, everything becomes easier. I was the user of the bank, but it was the result of education and that mindset.
Seeing his influence on the progression of certain young players, adding Quebec’s Mohamed Farsi, it goes without saying that he has a good compatibility with the philosophy of CF Montreal. Especially since he had a say in the Crew’s MLS Cup win a month ago.
Laurent cochait toutes les cases que nous recherchions. Il veut faire partie de notre projet, c’est un gagnant et il a beaucoup d’expérience avec les jeunes, a mentionné le président et chef de la direction du CF Montréal, Gabriel Gervais. Il a un style de jeu qui correspond à notre philosophie et c’est un excellent communicateur. Nous sommes convaincus qu’il pourra apporter cette cohésion entre notre noyau de leaders, nos vétérans et les jeunes.
There is a word that has come up several times over the years at CF Montréal: “grinta”.
This Italian expression, popularized by former Montreal assistant coach Jason Di Tullio, means combativeness and intensity in all facets of the game on the field. The ‘grinta’ was not provided last season, but Courtois deserves not to stop applying it in 2024. .
We all love this beautiful, elaborate game, but there are things I don’t compromise on: the heart, the energy, the fighting spirit,” Courtois said. “I need the players and the fans to see that we don’t have an unusual goal, which is to take it all away. I need the players to have the confidence to make mistakes, because that’s how we can improve.
After CF Montréal’s record-breaking season in 2022 and the departure of coach Wilfried Nancy, the team is looking for some continuity in its playing style. Vice president and sporting director Olivier Renard hired Hernàn Losada in the hope of making it a reality. . However, that is not what happened.
