Sounders FC today announced that Director of Player Personnel Kurt Schmid has departed the team to join the LA Galaxy on the heels of S2's 2017 United Soccer League campaign. Schmid joined the club prior to its inaugural 2009 season and has been a member of the technical staff since the team's MLS launch, holding roles of Assistant Coach and Head Scout before being promoted to Director of Player Personnel prior to the 2017 season. He now moves to Los Angeles to join his father and Galaxy Head Coach Sigi Schmid's staff, who was given control of player personnel responsibilities last month.
