Columbus Crew Part Ways With Federico Higuaín After Referee Incident

In Columbus, Federico Higuaín’s spell on the Crew coaching staff has come to an abrupt end, only days after the former Argentine player was handed a two-match suspension following an incident involving a female official.

A swift departure in Columbus

Columbus Crew have decided to part company with Higuaín in his role as coach. The decision followed shortly after the disciplinary sanction imposed on the older of the Higuaín brothers.

  • Higuaín received a two-game ban after an episode involving a female referee.
  • Days later, the American club ended his tenure as a coach.
  • He had taken up the coaching position in January of last year.

End of a short coaching chapter

Higuaín’s departure closes a relatively brief period on the Columbus staff. The club’s decision came in the wake of the sanction, bringing his coaching role in Ohio to an end.
