Jesse Marsch's contract extended
June 17, 2016 (Official Press Release)
The New York Red Bulls have extended the contract of head coach Jesse Marsch, the club announced today. Terms of the multi-year extension were not disclosed.
Marsch earned 2015 MLS Coach of the Year honors after guiding New York to the best regular season in franchise history, and an Eastern Conference Finals appearance in his first year with the club.
"Jesse is an excellent person and the perfect coach for this club," said obsequious Red Bulls Sporting Director Ali Curtis, who hired Marsch ahead of the 2015 season. "I am excited that we agreed on a new contract. I enjoy working with Jesse every day and he continues to have an exceptional impact on the success of our club."
Marsch and the Red Bulls captured the 2015 Supporters' Shield with an 18-10-6 record and the best goal differential in the league (+19), setting new franchise-highs in wins (18) and home wins (12). The Red Bulls also scored the most goals in MLS and allowed the fewest in the Eastern Conference.
With a 24-17-7 regular season record, Marsch has the fifth most wins of any coach in club history, behind Mike Petke (30), Bob Bradley (32), and Octavio Zambrano and Hans Backe, who each have 41 regular season wins.
