LA Galaxy Extend Vanney Amid Winless Streak

The LA Galaxy have extended head coach Greg Vanney’s contract through 2028, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in MLS despite the team’s unprecedented 13-game winless start this season. The extension was decided after Vanney guided the Galaxy to their sixth MLS Cup title last season with a 19-8-7 record, reflecting the club’s confidence in his leadership. Injuries to key players such as Riqui Puig and roster changes have contributed to the team’s current struggles. General manager Will Kuntz emphasized Vanney’s integral role in the club’s long-term vision and cultural rebuilding. The organization also strengthened its soccer operations by hiring Ravi Ramineni as director of quantitative analysis and promoting other front office staff. Despite current challenges, the Galaxy’s management and Vanney remain optimistic about the future.
