Former Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid is in the studio for ESPN for today’s MLS matches, and he had some kind words for his successor and former assistant:
Since taking over for the Sounders after Schmid’s dismissal in late July, Schmetzer has a 7-1-4 record. Schmetzer assisted Schmid for his entire tenure in Seattle—from 2009 until this year.
Sigi also had some thoughts on the Supporters’ Shield:
Sigi, just now: “For me, (the Supporter’s Shield) is the biggest trophy of the year."
