Mauro Biello: 1993-2009
Friends, Mauro Biello has officially called it quits. After 19 seasons of professional footy in Montreal, the Montreal Impact captain has decided to retire and take up a position as head coach Marc Dos Santos' assistant.
429 Games played, 90 goals, 73 assists, good for 253 points...and only one ejection. Other stats include three league championships (1994, 2004 and 2009), five regular season championships (1995, 1996, 1997, 2005 and 2006), seven Voyageur Cups (2002-2008) and the US Open Cup with Rochester in 1999. Biello won the Giuseppe Saputo Trophy awarded to the Impact team’s MVP four times (1997, 1998, 2001 and 2005). He was also selected on five occasions to the All-League First team (1997, 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2005) and once in the All-League Second team (2002).
Drafted by the Montreal Supra, he played with them for two seasons in 1991 and 1992 before joining the newly-created Montreal Impact. He was the last active player to have been part of the inaugural season in 1993.
Having met him once or twice, I have to say that he's quite the gentleman. Thanks Mauro for all you've done for the sport in Québec. You've paved the way for many Montrealers and Quebeckers and shown just what it means to represent the Montreal Impact with honor and dignity!
With a New General Manager...Comes the Search for a Coach
As alessio wrote about, Darren Tilley is out. Pat Ercoli is back, but as GM. Our roster is talented, deep, and ready to make a serious run for the USL-1 Title. We're just missing one, teeny tiny crucial thing...a coach. Now I do not claim to be a genius on USL-1, or even know many ...

CHAMPIONS!!!!! MONTREAL 3, VANCOUVER 1
So I'm a few days late. I was celebrating with my club. There's nothing better than winning a championship at home!
Before the match started, the Ultras pulled out an impressive tifo with the word Victoire (Victory) spelled across it. The game was set: Victory or nothing!
The first half started out rather quietly, but soon enough, ...

Uphill Battle Ahead
We lost at home in front of a packed and raucous Swangard stadium. We did not play well, getting dominated in the midfield. And we're down a goal heading into hostile territory without our captain.
But this final is far from over.
There's still a lot of good that can be taken from last night's game.

In the 45th minute, Stephen DeRoux's center for Roberto Brown went off a Whitecaps defender and into the back of the net.
In the 51st minute, Whitecaps Captain Martin Nash retaliated after a Roberto Brown tackle by providing ...

Impact 2, Islanders 1: will it be enough?
It was a cold night in Montreal, a chilly 7C (45F) at Stade Saputo, and while there were only 10000 or so sold tickets, it seemed like less. But, the ones who were there were certainly into it. Tony Donatelli once again showed why he's a clutch ...
