Bradley Carnell wins 2025 MLS Coach of the Year after leading Philadelphia Union to Supporters' Shield with best record and defense.

Bradley Carnell was named the 2025 Sigi Schmid MLS Coach of the Year after leading the Philadelphia Union to a dramatic turnaround, rising from 23rd place in 2024 to win the Supporters' Shield with a league-best 66 points (20-8-6). Under Carnell’s guidance, the Union posted the fewest goals allowed (35) and shots on target (128), achieved a 12-1-4 home record, and advanced to the MLS Playoffs, sweeping Chicago in the first round. The award, determined by votes from club staff, media, and players, recognized Carnell’s impact since taking over in January, succeeding Jim Curtin.
