The Columbus Crew announced this morning that former forward Guillermo Barros-Schelotto will be the fourth member inducted into the Club’s Circle of Honor, joining Brian McBride, Frankie Hejduk, and 2008 MLS Cup-winning coach Sigi Schmid.

Barros-Schelotto is set to be enshrined into the Circle of Honor on July 19, when the Crew hosts D.C. United. There will also be a plethora of Columbus Crew alumni in attendance and the first 10,000 fans will receive a Barros Schelotto bobblehead.

“I am very honored to receive this award. It was wonderful for me the time I spent in Columbus. The people of the city I have in the bottom of my heart because it was four [fantastic] years for me. We felt like we were home during this time, and we miss every day Columbus. I wish to be there, but it is impossible for my coaching schedule, but I feel like I will be there with all of you. I hope to be there very soon. I want to say thank you. Forever Black & Gold.” – Crew Legend Guillermo Barros Schelotto

This year, Barros Schelotto was named head coach of Argentina’s Club Atletico Velez Sarsfield. The Club and Crew legend began discussing ideal induction ceremony dates that prioritized his availability ahead of the 2025 MLS season. Barros Schelotto will select a designee to accept the honor on his behalf.

“It’s our Club’s honor to induct a fourth member in the Crew Circle of Honor this year with the enshrinement of Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who absolutely is one of the most successful and impactful players to represent the Black & Gold. Guillermo clearly deserves to be alongside Brian McBride, Frankie Hejduk and Sigi Schmid as one of the greatest contributors to the Crew’s 30-year history for his exceptional individual performance and leadership that led to multiple titles.” – Haslam Sports Group Partner JW Johnson

He is a true Crew Legend for the exceptional talent he consistently displayed, his ability to make his teammateand the collective better and his competitiveness, all of which played a key role in bringing trophies to Columbus. It’s also special knowing Guillermo remains incredibly passionate about this Club and our city, and we are eager to welcome him home again soon.” – Crew General Manager Issa Tall
