Really sad news. Thanks Sigi for all you did to get the Sounders started in MLS. Rest in peace.

Yeah I was really bummed when I saw this yesterday. I knew he'd had some health issues, but I didn't know it was this serious.

I equate Sigi to Mike Holmgren, he gave the Sounders instant credibility and legitimacy. He's exactly what the Sounders needed coming into the league as an expansion franchise, a steady experienced coach that understood the American game and MLS.

Sad news.

A sad day for the Sounders and USA Soccer. He will be deeply missed.

I’m not a soccer fan but am saddened by this news. He always seemed like a good guy, and his soccer resume speaks for itself. RIP Sir! :(
