LA Galaxy extend head coach Greg Vanney amid 13-game winless run
The LA Galaxy have announced a contract extension for head coach Greg Vanney, seeing the two-time MLS Cup winner commit his future to the club through 2028.
Interestingly, this extension comes in the midst of a historic 13-game winless run for the reigning MLS Cup champions, who have not won since securing the title against the New York Red Bulls.
Greg is one of the most respected and successful coaches in MLS history, and we are excited to be continuing under his leadership,' said LA Galaxy General Manager, Will Kuntz.
'While this season's results haven't reflected our standards, this was a decision made following our 2024 MLS Cup victory and we remain confident in the project we are building with Greg, and we have a clear path forward to returning to an MLS champion level."
The new contract will reportedly see Vanney become one of the highest paid coaches in MLS.
According to further reports, the extension was already in the works once the club secured MLS Cup last December but the details needed to be finalized.
Furthermore, the Galaxy are hiring Ravi Ramineni to the front office. Ramineni previously worked for the Seattle Sounders and is a highly-respected analyst around the league.

Draymond Green Had Two Words After Aryna Sabalenka's Controversial Coco Gauff Message
Draymond Green Had Two Words After Aryna Sabalenka's Controversial Coco Gauff Message originally appeared on Athlon Sports. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka drew backlash for her rather controversial take on her French Open loss to Coco Gauff, with NBA star Draymond Green even chiming in. Advertisement Gauff beat Sabalenka in the French Open final on Saturday, as the American star battled back from losing the first set to win 6-7(5), 6-2, 6-4. The biggest story of the game, however, was Sabalenka's 70 unforced errors. The uncharacteristic performance definitely played a big role in the Belarusian star's loss, and Sabalenka herself admitted that it's the "worst tennis" she has played. What drew the outrage of many, though, was Sabalenka downplaying Gauff's performance. After the game, she said: "I think she won the match not because she played incredible, just because I made all of those mistakes." Sabalenka even claimed that four-time French Open winner Iga Swiatek would have beaten Gauff had she been the one to make the Roland-Garros final.

Advertisement On his Instagram Stories, Green posted a video of Sabalenka sharing her opinion on Gauff and the loss in the French Open final. In the caption, the four-time NBA champion wrote, "COOK COCO." For what it's worth, Sabalenka has since clarified her remarks. On her Instagram Stories, the 28-year-old explained that "Coco handled the conditions much better than I did and fully deserved the win." Sabalenka further stated, "She was the better player yesterday, and I want to give her the credit she earned." While she stood by her claim that she lost because of her mistakes and bad play, she emphasized that Gauff also played well. Advertisement "But both things can be true... I didn't play my best, and Coco stepped up and played with poise and purpose. She earned that title. Respect," Sabalenka shared.
