Pat Noonan reached 100 wins as FC Cincinnati coach across all competitions Friday night, adding a major milestone to his fifth season in charge. The century mark measures the club’s victories beyond the MLS regular season and reflects the broader scope of his Cincinnati run.
What happened
Friday night’s result pushed Noonan into triple digits across all competitions with FC Cincinnati. It was his 100th club victory since taking charge after his tenure began in December 2021.
The milestone follows another notable achievement from May 2026. Noonan recorded his 75th MLS regular-season victory in his 151st league match, tying the MLS record for the fastest coach to reach that total.
Why it matters
The latest milestone adds another marker to Noonan's Cincinnati tenure. Reaching 100 wins in his fifth season provides a wider measure of the results accumulated during his time in charge.
The distinction between club wins and MLS regular-season wins is important. The all-competitions figure counts FC Cincinnati victories outside the league’s regular-season schedule, while the May benchmark covered only Noonan’s results in MLS regular-season matches.
By the numbers
Noonan now has 100 FC Cincinnati wins across all competitions. As of May 2026, 75 of his victories had come in MLS regular-season play through 151 league matches.
That 75-win pace tied the league record for reaching the mark in the fewest matches. Friday’s result moved a different total, taking his complete record of club victories across all competitions from 99 to 100.
What to watch next
Noonan’s next century milestone in league play remains separate from the one reached Friday. His 100th MLS regular-season victory will be measured only through league matches and will not include wins from other competitions.
For now, the all-competitions total stands as the latest benchmark of his FC Cincinnati tenure. It arrives after the May record-tying achievement and gives Noonan two distinct markers: 100 club wins overall and 75 MLS regular-season victories through 151 league matches as of May.
