Sigi Schmid has stepped down as head coach of the LA Galaxy with six games remaining in the team's MLS season.
Through 28 games, the Galaxy sit eighth in the West, three points beind Schmid's former club, the Seattle Sounders, for the sixth and final playoff position in the conference.
Schmid, the most successful coach in MLS history with 266 wins across MLS regular and post-season play, joined the Galaxy in July 2017 after previously taking charge of the club from 1999-2004.
Former San Jose Earthquakes and Houston Dynamo coach Dom Kinnear will serve as interim coach through the rest of the 2018 season.
