CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy continued the reorganization of their front office by hiring Kurt Schmid to serve as the Director of Player Personnel and Scouting on Thursday.
Schmid’s arrival comes on the heels of the additions of Oka Nikolov and Jesus Gonzalez to the club’s coaching staff, and the announcement that head coach Sigi Schmid would assume player personnel responsibilities for the 2018 campaign.
He joins the Galaxy after spending the last nine years with Seattle Sounders FC as Head Scout, assistant coach, and Director of Player Personnel. With Los Angeles, Schmid will handle scouting across all facets of the club, and will also work with the technical staff to help negotiate contracts and manage the salary cap among other responsibilities.
