Sigi Schmid Case Closed

Columbus acquired allocation money and cash from Seattle as compensation. Schmid is now released from any contractual obligations and free to proceed with his contract negotiations with Seattle. Major League Soccer also said it found no evidence of tampering by Seattle.

So now the question begs… when will Sigi Schmid be named the head coach of Seattle Sounders FC?

From Adrian Hanauer

We believe Sigi is the best coach in Major League Soccer and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to pursue contract negotiations with him. There were never any improprieties and the league’s statement confirms this. There was some language in his contract that was ambiguous, but rather than going through a long, drawn out process we came to an agreement.
