Ex-Loons goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair sounds off on exit from Minnesota
Dayne St. Clair anticipated the boos he received in his first game back at Allianz Field on Tuesday. The comments he saw on Instagram tipped off what was coming his way once Canada played U.S. in an international friendly. The Canadian goalkeeper doesn’t begrudge Minnesota United fans for being salty over his Loons exit after six seasons, which included an MLS goalkeeper of the year campaign ...
Dayne St. Clair faced boos upon his return to Allianz Field, where he had played for Minnesota United for six seasons. The Canadian goalkeeper expressed bitterness about his departure from the team due to a lowball contract offer from the club. St. Clair signed with Inter Miami for $808,730 in guaranteed compensation, after Minnesota United's last-ditch attempt to secure his services.
St. Clair did not take a direct shot at Minnesota United's former Chief Soccer Officer Khaled El-Ahmad, but he did criticize the handling of his contract negotiations. St. Clair also mentioned the departure of successful coach Eric Ramsay, who left for another role at West Bromwich Albion. El-Ahmad moved to Austin FC shortly after Ramsay's departure, which impacted Minnesota United's transfer window.
St. Clair's performance has fallen short in Miami, and the former No. 1 goalkeeper on Canada's national team didn't play in any matches during the recent FIFA World Cup. However, St. Clair praised his work during the international friendly against the U.S. and for Inter Miami's coach Jesse Marsch.
