Ruud Gullit resigned as coach of the slumping Los Angeles Galaxy for personal reasons today, and president Alexi Lalas also was out of a job.
“We are stepping up and doing what we need to do to straighten this thing out,” Galaxy operator Tim Leiweke told The Associated Press as he announced the changes.
The Galaxy, led by English star David Beckham and American international Landon Donovan, are on a seven-match winless streak in Major League Soccer and lie 11th in the 14-team standings.
“There are two good people that for different reasons aren’t part of this organisation today, and that’s a shame,” Leiweke said.
“The fact is, the players have to look deep inside themselves and understand they have to be responsible for some of this.
“The Galaxy hasn’t made the playoffs for a couple years.
“Punting on this season is not acceptable. It starts Thursday (against Chivas USA).”
