After a terrible stretch of games recently both the general manager and coach of the LA Galaxy are going away. Speculation that Lalas would be on his way out has been going on for a long time. Now both Lalas and Ruud Gullit are leaving the team.
The official statement from the team says that Gullit was leaving the team for personal reasons. I’m sure they are have nothing to do with the play of the Galaxy recently. He’s been frustrated with league restrictions and the lack of a real reserve squad so it isn’t a big surprise to see him going either.
Cobi Jones will take over as the interim head coach. Jones had a great career on the field for the Galaxy and has been an assistant to Gullit up to this point.
