Montreal Impact to "double their efforts" to help Laurent Ciman's family with daughter's care
MONTREAL – In the wake of public comments from Laurent Ciman and his wife regarding their pressing, emotional family situation, the Montreal Impact have promised to "double [their] efforts" to help the Cimans get the best care for their autistic daughter.
The move comes after Ciman spoke to the media following Montreal’s 3-0 win over Columbus Crew SC last Saturday, reiterating that his five-year-old daughter, Nina, was the main reason he departed Belgian club Standard Liege to join the Impact in January.
