Since taking over as manager at Columbus Crew, Wilfried Nancy has forged an explosive team who score plenty of goals
Lionel Messi has made Inter Miami a must-watch team since his arrival in Major League Soccer two months ago, but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily the league’s most entertaining team. Instead, the Columbus Crew deserve that title. Their brand of attack-minded, possession soccer has compelled and captivated all season long. Inter Miami have Messi, but Columbus have Wilfried Nancy.
The Frenchman has earned himself a reputation as one of MLS’s most forward-thinking coaches. Hired by Columbus from CF Montreal at the end of last season, the 46-year-old knows hold to build bold, brave teams. He wants his side to have the ball, but not just for the sake of it. This is possession with a purpose – the purpose being to score goals.
