I am sure that there has not been a better servant to @ColumbusCrew than Robert Warzycha. Both as a player and coach.

— Janusz Michallik (@JanuszMichallik) September 2, 2013

Robert Warzycha played (160) or managed (170) a total of 330 games for @ColumbusCrew—highest combined total for one team in @MLS history.

Very few have given more to #crew96 than Robert Warzycha. A class act who always put his club and his team before himself.

RW made many contributions to the Crew as a player, assistant, and head coach. He deserves our respect, and will be welcomed anytime at HQ.

I promised to be thorough, and that applies to our head coaching search, which starts now.

BB will be on our short list, and believe he deserves an audition, still hope we can turn the season around now. Double pts to be had!

Gutted for Bobby.... The #Crew96 have now lost TWO pillars of club history in @Oughton8 & #Warzycha in less than a year, can't be replaced.

Best of luck to Brian Bliss (another #crew96 original) and Mike Lapper (who joined in '97).

Shame to see Warzycha leave the Crew, however having spoken in depth to Brian Bliss, I know the #Crew are in good hands.

@massiveNA @smitchcd Bliss is responsible for @CrewYouth, which has produced some quality homegrowns. Great at developing talent. #Crew96
