CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy filled their vacated general manager position by hiring club great Pete Vagenas to the role.
The 38-year-old former Galaxy captain replaces Bruce Arena who departed the club last week to take the head coaching position with the U.S. National Team. Vagenas will serve as the club’s general manager and retain his position as the team’s Vice President of Soccer Operations.
In his new position, Vagenas will manage the soccer activities for LA Galaxy, LA Galaxy II, and the club’s academy, as well as the player acquisition, scouting, and management of the organization’s coaching staffs.
