The Galaxy lost to LAFC in the second round after beating Minnesota in the opening round.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But 2020 has been a different story. The Galaxy have just one win in their last 10 games and are last in the Western Conference with a record of 5-11-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Based on results we have decided to go in a different direction.&#8221; GM Dennis te Klose said in a written statement. &#8220;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&#8217;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.&#8221;              <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schelotto had an overall record of 22-27-6 with the Galaxy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dominic Kinnear will take over as interim manager. Kinnear also served as interim in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schelotto is the third coach to be fired by the Galaxy since Bruce Arena resigned after the 2016 campaign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LA will host Real Salt Lake on Sunday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tim Peterson (Carson) &#8211; The LA Galaxy fired head coach Guillermo Barros Schelotto Thursday with just three games remaining in the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-soccer"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=70253"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70253\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":70257,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70253\/revisions\/70257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=70253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=70253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/midvalleysports.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=70253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
