It's been a day of mixed fortunes for Bermudian football figures across the Atlantic. Khano Smith has been recognised for his coaching success, while his Rhode Island FC saw their winning streak come to an end. Elsewhere, Eva Frazzoni has been honoured by her club, and Nia Christopher's Fort Lauderdale United FC edged closer to the playoffs. Leilanni Nesbeth remained on the bench for Chicago Stars FC.
Khano Smith Named USL Championship Team of the Week
Rhode Island FC Head Coach and General Manager Khano Smith has been named to the USL Championship Week 11 Team of the Week. This prestigious recognition comes after Smith guided his team to two impressive shutout victories within a four-day period. This marks the fourth time Smith has received league-wide recognition in the last two seasons with the Ocean State club, highlighting his consistent leadership and tactical acumen.
However, despite Smith's accolades, Rhode Island FC suffered their first defeat at Centreville Bank Stadium, falling 1-0 to Pittsburgh Riverhounds SC. Despite dominating possession, sending in numerous crosses, and testing the Pittsburgh goalkeeper on several occasions, the Ocean State club couldn't overcome a first-half goal from the visitors, who left Pawtucket with all three points.
