Ange Postecoglou Reported to Replace LAFC Manager After Tottenham Sacking

Ange Postecoglou, recently dismissed as Tottenham manager shortly after winning the Europa League, is being considered for the managerial position at Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC. LAFC's current coach, Steve Cherundolo, plans to step down at the end of the season to return to Germany for family reasons, prompting the club to look for a successor, with Postecoglou emerging as a leading candidate. Under Cherundolo, LAFC has enjoyed success, including winning the Supporters Shield and MLS Cup in 2022 and the U.S. Open Cup in 2024, but the team's recent form has dipped, trailing conference leaders despite games in hand. Postecoglou could reunite with former Premier League players at LAFC, including goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, whom he had previously replaced at Tottenham, and striker Olivier Giroud. While Postecoglou has also been linked to a Saudi Pro League role, the possibility of an MLS move seems increasingly likely, with discussions expected to continue before the MLS season concludes in October. It remains unclear whether Postecoglou will accept the position, but the timing allows for negotiations as LAFC aims to remain competitive in upcoming seasons.
