COLUMBUS, Ohio (Tuesday, December 20) - Columbus Crew Head Coach Sigi Schmid announced today that Eduardo "Eddie" Carvacho has been retained as The Crew's goalkeeper coach.

"It is another fantastic opportunity for my career to learn from one of the best coaches in the United States," said Carvacho. "I am grateful that Coach Schmid has retained me as part of his coaching staff and I am ready to provide him support in any area of need. To remain within the Crew organization makes it even better."
