The ghost of Bruce Arena continues to haunt the LA Galaxy.
It has been almost four years since Arena stepped away from the club after the 2016 season to take up an ill-fated stint with the United States men's national team. After Arena's departure, the Galaxy first turned to Curt Onalfo with a mandate to use the club's celebrated academy, only to change direction midway through 2017 and opt for Sigi Schmid. When Schmid was deemed unable to lead the Galaxy -- and in particular one Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- into the next phase of MLS' evolution, LA then turned to Guillermo Barros Schelotto.
