Add article description

The Sigi Schmid Coach of the Year Award is given by Major League Soccer to the best coach in any given season. The award has been given since the league's inception in 1996 and is determined by a vote from players, club personnel, and members of the media.[1][2] Bruce Arena has won the award four times, more than any other coach.[3]

Sigi Schmid is a two-time winner and the namesake of the Coach of the Year Award.

The award was renamed in January 2019 for Sigi Schmid, the coach with the most league regular season wins and two-time award winner, shortly after his death.[4]

Thomas Rongen won the inaugural award with the now defunct Tampa Bay Mutiny for the 1996 Major League Soccer season.
