Daily News | For Jim Curtin and the Union, Earnie Stewart wasn’t simply a colleague, he was an ally
and more future pros were in the youth ranks during his tenure. And the academy was only just getting started when Stewart arrived, hired to clean up an organizational-wide mess left by former CEO Nick Sakiewicz.
“First and foremost, Earnie is a winner, Earnie’s a great person, he’s a friend, he’s a colleague,” Curtin said Thursday. “He laid the foundation here at the club, so I’m grateful for him. And to be candid, he stuck behind me when a lot of people didn’t. So I owe a ton to Earnie.” He concluded: “When you think about good people in this game, I’ll just say they’re a dying breed. And when you have good ones, it’s important that you keep them on your side. I know Earnie will now go on to big things at PSV and do a great job.”New players arrive
The Union’s new Torres had his first practice with his new team Thursday morning. Curtin is already drawing up a range of ways to use the 25-year-old Argentine: a second forward in a 4-4-2, a winger in a three-man front, or an attacking midfielder.“We played with two No. 10s today, with him and Dániel [Gazdag] next to each other, and that was fun to watch in a one-touch game,” Curtin said.
