Rhode Island FC Head Coach and General Manager Khano Smith has been named the USL Championship Coach of the Week, following the club's historic first-ever victory Saturday night at Las Vegas Lights FC.
For Smith, who was named Rhode Island FC Head Coach and General Manager on March 8, 2023, the victory was his first-ever as a head coach in the USL Championship.
The former Bermuda National Team captain and New England Revolution winger's leadership and experience has proven to be invaluable in the Ocean State's inaugural campaign.
After four draws in RIFC's first five matches, Smith wisely managed his personnel and tactics to check off another milestone achievement in Las Vegas.
The match capped off a demanding week that saw RIFC travel from Rhode Island to Charlotte to Las Vegas to compete in three matches over eight days.
Smith has instilled a team-first mentality with his squad as the USSF Pro License holder continues to create a winning culture on and off the pitch
