Nashville SC has made a significant decision by parting ways with Gary Smith, the only head coach in the franchise's history. The club announced the departure of Smith and assistant coach Steve Guppy on Thursday, marking the end of Smith's tenure with the team. This move makes Smith the first MLS coach to be fired this season.
Following Smith's exit, former Nashville player and current player development coach Rumba Munthali will step in as the interim head coach. Munthali will take charge starting with the upcoming game against Atlanta United, as Nashville looks to continue its season with a new leadership dynamic.
