Sigi Schmid is Leaving Columbus
It is expected that after three seasons with the Columbus Crew it will be announced today that Head Coach Sigi Schmid will be leaving the team according to the Columbus Dispatch.
“Sigi Schmid has formally declined our last contract offer and will not be returning as head coach of the Columbus Crew. Sigi was the ideal person to turn around our competitive program and create a championship mentality within our club. As a result, we are well positioned moving forward and toward continued success. We respect his desire to seek the next challenge and wish him nothing but the best.”
That article also notes that the Crew have reportedly filed tampering charges with Sounders FC. “Something has occurred that has sort of made my decision for me,” said Schmid. “It’s in the league’s hands”.
