Palermo, nicknamed “El Loco”, who for several years played alongside Barros Schelotto in Boca’s intimidating attack, has said he would like to join Guille in Columbus, and apparently there has been contact between both clubs.
Longtime Crew player and assistant coach Robert Warzycha was named head coach by the team today. The Siemkowice, Poland, native arrived in Columbus in 1996 and played for the Crew until his retirement in 2002. “He is an ideal fit within our club culture,” GM McCullers said. “He is someone who bleeds black and gold.”

NEW YORK (December 12, 2008) – Major League Soccer announced today that the Columbus Crew and Seattle Sounders FC resolved a potential contractual issue regarding former Crew coach Sigi Schmid. Columbus acquired allocation money and cash from Seattle, thus releasing Schmid from contractual obligations and allowing him to proceed with his contract negotiations with Seattle. In connection with this matter, Major League Soccer found no evidence of tampering by Seattle Sounders FC.
And the Sounders position?
Seattle Sounders FC general manager Adrian Hanauer’s official statement on the matter:
“We believe Sigi is the best coach in Major League Soccer and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to
pursue contract negotiations with him,” said Hanauer. “There were never any improprieties and the
league’s statement confirms this. There was some language in his contract that was ambiguous, but rather
than going through a long, drawn out process we came to an agreement.”
