Guillermo Barros Schelotto really was a coup for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Looking to revitalise an ageing, stagnating roster and refreshen a club that’s culture and processes had been eroded and deemed unsuccessful, Schelotto was the type of character that could provide such an injection.
Not all head coaches are built in a manner that could deal with the pressure and the poison of the LA Galaxy head coaching job. But Schelotto is one of them. He brings that self-belief, that swagger, that absorbing, exhilarating character.
And Schelotto, in his first offseason at the helm, is beginning to reshape a squad that is not only expensive but old and in desperate need of investment.
