Some jobs have recently opened up as you all know coach Ruud Gullit and general manager Alexi Lalas have recently departed from the Galaxy.  Former US MNT coach Bruce Arena has filled the role as coach and general manager since then, but only after the general manager job was turned down by Peter Vermes.  Vermes says he was recently offered the job, but turned it down.  Vermes will stay at his current position as technical directory for the Kansas City Wizards.
