Kevin Baxter of the LA Times also reported the news.
Word is Sigi Schmid resigned and was not fired. If that’s true, the timing is interesting. Seems designed to have maximum impact given the playoff race. @LAGalaxy has scheduled a conference call for 2 p.m. PT

Grant Wahl of Sports Illustrated shared his thoughts on the news.
With LA Galaxy in danger of missing the MLS playoffs, Sigi Schmid resigns as coach. Dom Kinnear will take the job the rest of the 2018 season. One potential replacement for ’19: Caleb Porter. But there should be international interest too.
