The LA Galaxy have relieved Pete Vagenas from his duties as General Manager effective immediately, the club announced today. Sigi Schmid will oversee all player personnel decisions for the club in addition to his responsibilities as head coach. Vagenas will remain with the LA Galaxy as Vice President of Soccer Operations.
“The results this season did not meet the standard and expectations of this club, our fans and this city,” said LA Galaxy President Chris Klein. “Sigi has a proven track record building championship-caliber teams in MLS. He understands this league, its players and its structure as well as anyone in soccer and we have full confidence in him as we enter this offseason to strengthen our roster ahead of 2018.
