Despite their strong regular season performance, the Crew were eliminated in the first round of the MLS playoffs by the New York Red Bulls.

Earlier in 2024, Columbus also won the Leagues Cup final, adding to their successful season.

The Crew had a notable run in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, defeating teams like Tigres and CF Monterrey before losing to CF Pachuca in the final.

In the 2024 MLS Coach of the Year voting, Nancy narrowly beat Martino, who received 33.03% of the votes.

Nancy signed a new contract with Columbus Crew in April 2024, but his successful tenure has drawn interest from European clubs.
