COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Crew fired coach Henrik Rydstrom on Sunday, less than halfway through his first season.

The Crew also fired assistant coach Theodor Olsson and analyst Mak Pakhei. Laurent Courtois will be the interim head coach.

Rydstrom was hired last Dec. 31, and the Crew have struggled throughout his debut season. The team is 3-7-4 and is 13th in Major League Soccer's Eastern Conference and 26th in the Supporters’ Shield standings.

Courtois was Montreal's coach in 2024, leading the team to its first playoff berth since 2022. He played for West Ham United, Chivas USA and the Los Angeles Galaxy.
