CF Montréal are one of the best teams in MLS this season. The team is currently 19th in the Eastern Conference with a 19W-9L-5D record. They are playing in Audi 2022 MLS Cup playoffs on Sunday. Wilfried Nancy is considered a favorite to win Coach of Year in 2022. Matt Doyle raved about Nancy. Montreale have lost just once since mid-July. Their players include players from the academy, castoffs from other MLS teams and players brought up from Canadian Premier League.

Josh Wolff deserves credit for the remarkable turnaround at Austin FC Dallas. CF Montréal's Wilfried Nancy is also a contender for Coach of the Year. Andrew Wiebe was dealt a tough hand when taking over at Montreal early last year. The Extratime crew considers who else they consider worthy of end-of-season award recognition.
