CF Montreal released an open letter to fans Wednesday, acknowledging their underperformance and announcing a commitment to 'rebuild' the struggling MLS franchise.
Montreal has been in a downward spiral since losing in the conference semifinals of the 2022 MLS playoffs, 3-1 to the New York City Football Club.
The club has the worst record of the 30 MLS teams this season at 3-15-6 (15 points) with just 20 goals scored against 45 allowed.
Last season, Montreal finished 11-13-10 (43 points) and lost to Atlanta United in a wild-card round match on penalty kicks.
The 2023 team finished 12-17-5 (41 points) and out of the playoffs.'We share your dissatisfaction with the Club's results, and it is our responsibility to build a winning team that we can be proud of,' read the letter, signed by club president and CEO Gabriel Gervais, as well as Luca Saputo and Simone Saputo, the children of team owner Joey Saputo.
'That is why we have decided to undertake a rebuild and launch a new chapter of CF Montreal. A chapter based on ambition and pride. A new era with victory at the heart of our sporting ambitions, while also honoring our rich history and the connection with you, our 12th player.'
The trio vowed in the letter to take 'concrete steps' during the transfer window toward that rebuild.
On March 24, head coach Laurent Courtois was fired after an 0-4-1 start.
