LA Galaxy moved fast with their search for a new manager after recently firing Guillermo Barros Schelotto. According to multiple reports, the club approached club legend Robbie Keane and is viewing him as their first choice for the position.

ESPN reports that Galaxy prepared a list of names they would like to hire and are set on talking with all the potential candidates before making the final choice. Still, Keane is viewed as an ideal fit given his ties with the club and the experience he got serving as an assistant under Mick McCarthy and Jonathan Woodgate.

Galaxy isn’t expected to make the official hiring until the end of the 2020 MLS regular season, considering they have lost all playoff chances. Assistant Dominic Kinnear will see out the remainder of the campaign in an interim role.

Robbie Keane played for Galaxy between 2011 and 2016 and is often regarded as one of the best to play for the club and in MLS in general. During his time in the United States, Keane scored an impressive 104 goals in 165 games in all competitions while helping the club win three MLS Cups. He also won numerous individual accolades, including the MLS MVP award in 2014 and four MLS Best XI nods.

After leaving Galaxy, Keane briefly served as a player/coach in Indian Super League with ATK before taking roles on coaching staff with Ireland national team and English Championship side Middlesbrough.

Former LA Galaxy and Ireland striker Robbie Keane decided to retire from playing professional soccer after 23 years. Keane, who stands as one of the most prolific strikers in MLS history, announced his retirement decision on Wednesday.

The 38-year-old, who last played for the Indian Super League team ATK, won’t completely walk away from soccer, however, and will join the Ireland men’s national team’s coaching staff.

“From Crumlin United around the world to the likes of Milan, London, and Los Angeles, I could never have imagined the path my football life would take. It has exceeded all the hopes I had as a football-mad boy growing up in Dublin,” – said Keane in a statement. “Leaving home at 15 years of age to pursue my professional career in England seems a lifetime ago now. I was a street footballer full of hope armed with huge ambitions and a determination to succeed. All I needed was that one chance.”

Robbie Keane played for a number of successful European clubs, but he left the biggest mark with Tottenham Hotspurs, where he scored 122 goals in 306 matches. Keane decided to come to MLS in 2011, joining the LA Galaxy and quickly establishing himself as one of the league’s biggest stars.

During his six seasons in Los Angeles, Keane played a total of 165 games and scored an astonishing number of 104 goals. He also helped the team to win three MLS Cups and Supporters’ Shield trophy.
