Galaxy fire team president Klein after miserable start to season MORE:
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.
“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. Klein was the target this year of several Galaxy fan organizations infuriated by the team’s miserable recent seasons and its inability to return to contention despite one of MLS' biggest payrolls. The fan groups threatened to boycott the team if Klein stayed in charge, and they followed through on the threat to varying degrees in recent months.
The Galaxy have missed the MLS playoffs in five of the past six seasons, and they haven't finished higher than sixth in the overall MLS standings since 2014, the year of its last championship.
