Sakiewicz was replaced with former U.S. men's national team player, Earnie Stewart, who was named Sporting Director in October 2015.https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/philadelphia-union-hire-ex-us-international-earnie-stewart-sporting-director Philadelphia Union hire ex-US international Earnie Stewart as sporting director MLSsoccer.com October 26, 2015 July 4, 2021 Background 2014 MLS regular season The 2014 Philadelphia Union MLS Regular Season saw the team go 10–12–12 finishing 6th in the Eastern Conference and 12th overall. The Union had a slow first half of the season, winning only 3 of their 16 games. Because of this, head coach John Hackworth was fired and Jim Curtin was named the club's interim head coach. Following the summer break, the Union saw better results, and were in a position to reach the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs. However, a loss to the Columbus Crew SC on October 11, 2014, put them out of the playoff race. After the season was over, the title "interim" was taken removed from Jim Curtin's title and is now the permanent head coach. 2014 U.S. Open Cup The 2014 U.S. Open Cup was the most successful Open Cup in the club's history. The Union entered the competition in the fourth round along with the other 18 MLS clubs. In that round, the Union defeated the Harrisburg City Islanders, a team in the third tier of the American soccer pyramid, 3-1 after extra time. In the next round, the Union defeated the NASL team the New York Cosmos 2-1 after extra time. The Union then defeated the New England Revolution 2-0 in the quarterfinals and FC Dallas 4-3 on penalty kicks after a 1–1 tie in the semifinals. In the final, the Union lost to Seattle Sounders FC 3-1 after extra time. 2015 roster As of August 29, 2015.http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/players Players Philadelphia Union January 14, 2014 002040 B8860B 1 JAM GK Andre Blake GA 2 GUY MF Warren Creavalle 5 FRA MF Vincent Nogueira 6 USA FW Conor Casey 7 USA MF Brian Carroll Captain 8 USA MF Maurice Edu DP 9 FRA FW Sébastien Le Toux 10 ARG MF Cristian Maidana DP 11 USA FW Andrew Wenger GA 13 USA MF Michael Lahoud 14 CMR MF Eric Ayuk Mbu 15 USA DF Ethan White 16 USA DF Richie Marquez 002040 B8860B 17 USA FW C.
