Columbus Crew 2 have dismissed manager Federico Higuain with immediate effect following his suspension for misconduct towards a female referee.
The club announced the decision after the manager received a ban from MLS NEXT Pro. The sacking comes in response to an incident involving abusive behaviour on the touchline during a recent match. Officials confirmed that the action was taken for cause and marks the end of his time in charge of the reserve side.
Higuain had been leading the team in the lower-tier competition. The fallout highlights the league's strict stance on respect towards match officials. This move comes at a challenging time for the organisation as it looks to maintain standards across all its teams.
