Less than two days after finishing the worst season in franchise history, the Galaxy fired general manager Pete Vagenas, the club announced Tuesday. Sigi Schmid, who was hired as coach in July, will oversee all player personnel decisions for the club in addition to his on-field responsibilities as head coach.

Vagenas, a former player and academy director with the Galaxy, will remain with the team 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,” team president Chris Klein said.
