The Columbus Crew has fired head coach Henrik Rydström, the club announced Sunday.Rydström joined the Crew this winter and departs after just 14 league games in charge. The Crew has 13 points and next play on Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the U.S. Open Cup.“You have to look at it from three sides,” GM Issa Tall told The Athletic. “One is obviously results, we have three wins in 14 games. … Two is in the way we want to play. It’s been better now than earlier in the season, but it’s still not there. An example is last night. Lastly, culturally it did not click. We believe a change was much-needed.”Advertisement
