Kobié Johnson, David Sauvry and Louan Schlicht leave CF Montreal

CF Montreal announced Tuesday morning that assistant coaches Kobié Johnson and David Sauvry will not be returning to the team in 2026, nor will video analyst Louan Schlicht.

“First and foremost, we would like to thank Kobié, David and Louan for their contribution to the club this season and wish them the best of luck in their future careers,” said Luca Saputo, CF Montreal’s Senior Director of Recruitment and Sports Methodology.

These are the latest departures.

Last week, the Montreal team announced that it had dismissed assistant coach Maxime Leconte following an internal disciplinary process.

Leconte, a 35-year-old Frenchman, spent only a few months on the Bleu-blanc-noir coaching staff after joining in May 2025.

The reasons for his dismissal remain unknown.

Meanwhile, during CF Montreal’s end-of-season review last month, the team confirmed the return of Marco Donadel as head coach after he signed a two-year contract.

The Montreal club added that the hiring of coaching staff for the 2026 season will be announced in due course.
