#ThanksSigi: Current and former players thank Sigi Schmid on social media

The Seattle Sounders announced the club had mutually parted ways with longtime head coach Sigi Schmid on Tuesday morning, ending the lengthy tenure of the only head coach in the club's MLS history.


With a career that spanned stints with the Sounders, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC as well as collegiate soccer and time with the U.S. U20 team, Schmid's impact on the American soccer landscape is far-reaching, and former players and commentators took to social media to wish him well.
