Schmid signs contract with Galaxy
Friday March 28, 2003
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) Sigi Schmid signed a multiyear contract
with the MLS champion Los Angeles Galaxy on Friday.
Schmid's original contract, signed in 1999, expired at the end
of last season, when he guided the Galaxy to its first MLS Cup
title.
The 50-year-old Schmid has led the Galaxy to a 61-35-16 record,
guiding the team to the MLS Cup in 1999, 2001 and 2002 and was
named MLS coach of the year following his first season as the
team's coach.
The Galaxy lost in the MLS Cup in its first two tries before
winning last year.
``I am excited and very proud that the Los Angeles Galaxy has
shown its confidence in me with a new contract to continue as the
club's head coach,'' Schmid said. ``There is still a lot of work to
do and I have goals that I want to achieve both individually and
with the club.''
Terms of the contract were not announced.
