Guillermo Barros Schelotto is no longer LA Galaxy’s manager. The MLS side fired the Argentian on Thursday, confirming the news on social media.

Galaxy also parted ways with Barros Schelotto’s staff, including assistants Gustavo Barros Schelotto and Ariel Pereyra as well as goalkeeping coach Juan José Romero and performance coach Javier Valdecanto.

With the 2020 MLS season being close to an end, Galaxy will wait until the offseason to start a search for a new manager. Until then, assistant Dominic Kinnear will guide the club on an interim basis.

Speaking about the move, LA Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese said that Barros Schelotto’s dismissal resulted from the club’s poor performances. Galaxy is currently sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference, with only five wins in 19 games.

“Based on results, we have decided to go in a different direction,” said te Kloese. “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.”

Guillermo Barros Schelotto took over the club in January 2019, coming to MLS after stints with Palermo and Boca Juniors.

In his first season with Galaxy, Barros Schelotto reached semi-finals in the West. This year, however, the team struggled despite making some big moves, and the organization eventually decided it was time for a change of course with the ever-increasing competition around the league.

LA Galaxy have finally found their new head coach. The team announced on Wednesday that former Boca Juniors boss Guillermo Barros Schelotto will take over the team for 2019 MLS season.

The news was confirmed on Galaxy’s official social media.

“After a comprehensive search, domestically and internationally, we believe Guillermo will be a landmark signing for this club,” – said Galaxy general manager Dennis te Kloese. “Guillermo is a proven winner who has experience coaching, playing and winning for big clubs. It is our hope that Guillermo’s managing style and familiarity with MLS will bring trophies and championships to LA Galaxy fans and the city of Los Angeles.”

After Sigi Schmid resigned in September, LA Galaxy considered several high profile names as candidates for their head coaching vacancy in the past few months Former Portland Timbers’ manager Caleb Porter seemed like the man for the job until recently but ended up passing on the opportunity. This is when the team turned to Guillermo Barros Schelotto, who was one of the candidates in the early stages of their search.

“I am honored to be the head coach for the most decorated club in Major League Soccer,” – said Schelotto in a statement. “This is a tremendous opportunity for me and I am excited to get to work. The LA Galaxy have long been the standard in MLS and I am ready to push the club to new heights.”

Schelotto spent the last two years with Boca Juniors, where he had lots of success and managed to win two Argentina’s Primera División titles. He also reached the finals of the Copa Libertadores, where Boca suffered a defeat from their bitter rivals River Plate.
