The LA Galaxy have fired president Chris Klein with the five-time MLS champions sitting at the bottom of the overall standings. Several fans have been boycotting games amid a KleinOut movement sparked by years of underachievement.
The Galaxy announced the decision Tuesday to part ways with Klein, a former Galaxy player. He had been the team's president since 2013, presiding over its steady decline over the past decade and becoming the primary foes of its frustrated fans' ire.
Dan Beckerman, who runs the sports and entertainment conglomerate that owns the Galaxy, said the team has “not achieved our goals or met the standard that we have established for the LA Galaxy.” “We believe it is in the best interest of the club to make a change and begin a comprehensive process to seek new leadership that will return the club to the level that our fans and partners expect," Beckerman added in a statement.
