Yallop Joins Galaxy - Ipswich Town News
Former Blue Frank Yallop has been named the new head coach of the LA Galaxy. Yallop is leaving the same position with the Canada national side.
The ex-defender was unveiled at a press conference today and is pleased to be back in the US: "I am very excited to be joining the Galaxy and to be re-joining MLS.
"I had a wonderful time in my three years with San Jose as a head coach and, obviously, I am very familiar with the League from my time as a player and an assistant coach in the years before that.
"It is a wonderful set up in LA. It is one of the top club situations in MLS and I am really looking forward to getting going and working with the players."
An over-excited Alexi Lalas, president and general manager of the Galaxy, gushed: "The Jewel of MLS just became more dazzling. It's a pleasure to bring Frank back to the League and, more importantly, to the Galaxy family."
Yallop won two MLS Cup championships with the Earthquakes, having previously coached at Tampa Bay Mutiny and DC United.
