The Sounders FC assistant praises Jurgen Klopp and Sigi Schmid, talks about how MLS can improve

For Seattle Sounders assistant coach Djimi Traore, soccer has always been about fighting for a purpose -- whether it's for a coach or a trophy or even for himself. "I’ve been at clubs where we were playing for the title, I’ve been at clubs where we were just trying to reach a cup final, and I’ve played at a club where we were fighting to not go down."

The French-born former defender played for numerous clubs in France and England before making his way toSeattle, his last destination as a player and his first destination as a coach.
