The Los Angeles Galaxy has made a big decision on the status of head coach Greg Vanney. After winning the MLS Cup last season, Vanney will now be sticking around for the long haul.

The team has signed Vanney to a contract extension, keeping him in town for the foreseeable future. Despite the Galaxy starting this current season off horribly, the organization seems to believe in Vanney on the field.

Galax y general manager Will Kuntz released a statement on the matter.

“Greg is one of the most respected and successful coaches in MLS history, and we are excited to be continuing under his leadership,” said LA Galaxy General Manager, Will Kuntz. “While this season’s results haven’t reflected our standards, this was a decision made following our 2024 MLS Cup victory and we remain confident in the project we are building with Greg, and we have a clear path forward to returning to an MLS champion level. Greg’s commitment to development, culture, and high standards is unwavering.”

For the season, the Galaxy sits with a record of 0-3-10. Los Angeles sits at the bottom of the Western Conference standings, a far cry from where they were a year ago.

But even with these results, management seems to believe that Vanney is the correct person for the job.

Vanney also released a statement, expressing his excitement to stay with the club.

“I’m honored to continue this journey with a club that has meant so much to me,” said Vanney. “We know we haven’t started this season the way we intended, but we believe in the group, in the process, and in what we’re building. I’m fully committed to our players, our fans, and this organization—and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”

The Galaxy will look to turn things around the rest of the year, with Vanney leading the charge.
