Per a press release, former Philadephia Union goalkeeper turned goalkeeping coach Oka Nikolov has signed with the LA Galaxy. Nikolov started his career with the Union in 2013 after over two decades with Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany’s Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga. Nikolov didn’t ever play a match with the Union, instead backing up Zac MacMath and Chris Konopka after signing in June. After his half-season with the Union, Nikolov finished his career in 2014 with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the NASL.
The following year he returned to the Union as a goalkeeping coach under new manager Jim Curtin.
