Gary Smith hasn't spoken publicly since leaving Nashville SC. Until now.
I sat down with Nashville's first coach for an exclusive, wide-ranging conversation — his time in Nashville, Aké Loba, the Leagues Cup final, Hany Mukhtar, and what's next for him.

Truly a generational Club.
Three years ago, I asked a group of friends and colleagues to follow me down an insanely ambitious idea for a documentary series… for the chance that maybe one day, it might end up on Netflix.
I’m indebted to every single one of them as I announce that this collective dream has come true. On June 20th, our documentary series “The Root of the Game” will premiere worldwide on Netflix!
This series is a love letter to Brazilian football, to the favela communities, and to the people whose stories are rarely told—but who are the soul of what this game truly means.
There’s so much more to come (and I promise to be better about posting more 😬!!) - but I wanted to first just say ‘thank you,’ to every single person who has believed in my career and in this project. Thank you to Netflix and specifically Elisa Chalfon, who has believed in this project from the very beginning!
More soon!
With their 2-1 win tonight, @NashvilleSC will enter the FIFA World Cup 2026 break at the top of the Supporters’ Shield standings with 33 points through their first 14 games, which is tied for the third-most in @MLS history.
