FC Cincinnati’s Pat Noonan named 2023 MLS Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year | MLSSoccer.com

FC Cincinnati head coach Pat Noonan has been named the 2023 Sigi Schmid MLS Coach of the Year, a recognition that follows their on-field transformation under his leadership.

Noonan, during his second year since taking the reins in the Queen City, led Cincy to unprecedented heights in 2023. The Eastern Conference club won their first-ever Supporters’ Shield, completing their turnaround from three straight last-place finishes (2019-21) upon joining MLS to being the league’s top regular-season team.

Under Noonan’s direction, Cincy tied for the fourth-most points (69) in a single MLS season and carved out a 13W-2L-2D home record at TQL Stadium. They also became just the ninth team in league history to win at least 20 games in a single season (excluding the shootout era).

FC Cincinnati excelled during close games in 2023, leading MLS with 14 wins in one-goal games – the third-highest single-season total in league history. Additionally, they closed matches better than any other team in MLS this season, capturing the most points after the 75th minute (12) while being the only team not to drop any points after the 75th minute.

The 2023 MLS Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year award honors the best head coach in MLS during the 2023 regular season.

The award was voted on by MLS club technical staff, media and current MLS players. Noonan beat out Bradley Carnell (St. Louis CITY SC) and Wilfried Nancy (Columbus Crew) for the honor.
