Three days after arriving at the Columbus Crew, Wilfried Nancy wanted to address Montrealers in a touching message posted on his social networks on Friday evening.
“Friends, colleagues, young players, football fans that I have met [sic] or who supported me in my career in Montreal, above all, never stop dreaming. The most beautiful adventures begin with dreams, projects,” first writes the former CF Montreal coach.
“Thank you Montreal for believing in my passion, thank you for sharing your passion,” he continues. Montreal, you gave me so many memories. Montreal, you will have thrilled me, you will have put loved ones on my path, you will have made me discover a warm, cosmopolitan, multicultural city. Thanks to you, I am taking a new path, but the road traced thanks to Montreal will always remain in my heart. »
In a press conference with the Montreal media on Tuesday, Nancy explained that the leaders of CF Montreal had been aware of her intentions to leave the team for a long time. However, he said he was leaving the club “grown up” and “happy” for a “new adventure”.
“Thank you to my family, to the supporters, to the colleagues, to the Club, to the friends, to the players who crossed my path and who made me grow. Montreal is just a goodbye,” he concluded in his message.
