LA Galaxy Fires Guillermo Barros Schelotto 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Oct 29, 2020 11:29 pm

LA Galaxy has fired Guillermo Barros Schelotto as manager.

The former Boca Juniors coach was hired in January 2019 and guided the club to the semifinals of the Western Conference last season, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic netting 31 goals during the campaign.

\"Based on results, we have decided to go in a different direction,\" Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese said in a statement. \"The LA Galaxy is a club that is built on winning on the field and being representative of the championship mentality and pedigree that you expect in Los Angeles. As a club, we have a collective responsibility and we all must share the blame for the club\'s current standing. I take responsibility for the poor results and believe that we can find the right way forward for this team and our club.\"
