Columbus Crew SC announced during the halftime of Saturday’s match against reigning MLS Cup winners Atlanta United that the club will add former head coach Sigi Schmid, who passed away last December, to the club’s Circle of Honor. The ceremony will take place on June 29, at MAPFRE Stadium, during the game against Orlando City SC.
Sigi will be just the third individual inducted to the honorable group, following former players Brian McBride, the first player put in, who started the tradition in 2011, and Frankie Hejduk, who was inducted in 2014.
