Head Coach Brian Schmetzer is a Sounder through-and-through.
Born and raised in Seattle, Schmetzer’s connection to the Sounders spans four decades and several iterations of the club. First as a player and then a coach, few figures personify Seattle soccer quite as much as the Sounders steward.
Last week, Schmetzer sat down with Soccer America’s Scott French to discuss his tenure in the Pacific Northwest and the lessons he’s learned throughout his career.
According to Schmetzer, his fondest early memories were attending NASL Sounders matches at Memorial Stadium with his family and getting to meet the players.
