Club de Foot Montreal News Release
MONTREAL - CF Montréal announced on Friday that Samuel Piette won the Defensive Player of the Year honour. Piette was also the recipient of the Jason-Di-Tullio Trophy, awarded in recognition of the player who best embodied the spirit of "La Grinta" throughout the MLS season. Josef Martínez was awarded the Giuseppe-Saputo Trophy as the Club's 2024 Most Valuable Player.
Following a preliminary selection by CF Montréal's technical staff, fans were invited to vote online for the Giuseppe-Saputo Trophy and Defensive Player of the Year among the three finalists in each category. The Jason-Di-Tullio Trophy was voted on by the first team players.
In his eighth season with CF Montréal, this is Piette's first individual honours. In 2024, Piette played 27 games, including 26 as a starter, and logged 2,149 minutes. He maintained a 91.7% pass completion percentage, a personal MLS career high. The defensive midfielder also scored a goal and two assists.
Martínez scored 11 goals and registered three assists during the regular season, including six goals in the last five matches.
Since 2022, the Jason-Di-Tullio Trophy has been an annual award given in honour of former CF Montréal player and assistant coach Jason Di Tullio. Throughout his career, Di Tullio demonstrated unparalleled courage and determination, particularly during his final battle with cancer. The "La Grinta" expression has become synonymous with Di Tullio's legacy at the Club. This recognition is proudly awarded annually to the player who demonstrated the fiery and fighting spirit Di Tullio embodied from start to finish and the mark he left at CF Montréal.
