CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Peter Vagenas replaced Bruce Arena as the LA Galaxy's general manager on Monday.
Galaxy President Chris Klein promoted Vagenas, the captain of the Galaxy's 2005 MLS championship team. Vagenas will be involved in the search for a coach to replace Arena, who was the Galaxy's coach and GM while leading the club to three MLS Cup titles.
Arena returned to the U.S. national team last week.
"Pete has been part of this club since its early years and embodies everything the Galaxy stands for," said Klein, Vagenas' teammate with the Galaxy for two seasons.
