In an unusual move, Los Angeles Galaxy have confirmed Bruce Arena as their new coach and general manager.

Former US national coach Arena becomes the first coach/general manager in Major League Soccer, replacing both Ruud Gullit and Alexi Lalas, who left the club last week after a string of poor results. Galaxy have not won any of their last eight games.

Arena’s last position was an unsuccessful stint as coach of New York Red Bulls. He won the MLS title with DC United in 1996 and 1998 before taking charge of the national side.

“While it has been a very difficult week, I believe the end result is a very positive step forward for the Galaxy,” team president Tim Leiweke said.

“Bruce is the best coach for the Galaxy and certainly one of the best coaches in the history of the league.”
