Game Over in Galaxy

Galaxy coach Gullit resigns; president/GM Lalas out

LOS ANGELES -Ruud Gullit has resigned as coach of the slumping Los Angeles Galaxy for personal reasons, and president/general manager Alexi Lalas also is out of a job.


"We are stepping up and doing what we need to do to straighten this thing out," Galaxy investor/operator Tim Leiweke told The Associated Press on Monday in announcing the changes.

The Galaxy, led by English star David Beckham and Landon Donovan, are on a seven-match winless streak as they play Chivas USA on Thursday night.

"There are two good people that for different reasons aren't part of this organization today, and that's a shame," Leiweke said. "The fact is, the players have to look deep inside themselves and understand they have to be responsible for some of this.

Maybe David Beckham should think ahead of his career, continue with high pay salary and glamorous lifestyle in Beverly Hills that satisfied his wife, or back to England? The choice is his, best of luck.
