Welcome to the 2023 edition of Hudson River Blue’s Midterm Report Cards, in which we analyze and grade New York City FC‘s performances so far this season. Next up: Nick Cushing.
It’s been nearly a year to date when Nick Cushing was first named Interim Head Coach for New York City Football Club, with then-coach Ronny Deila moving on to a new coaching endeavor to Standard Leige. While the club understandably sputtered bit with the adjustment, dropping to a fifth seed in the Eastern Conference, NYCFC finished the season rather strongly, making it to the Eastern Conference Final before falling short of their title defense to the Philadelphia Union.
