A day after the Galaxy’s second coaching change in 14 months, several players took responsibility for their former manager’s fate while vowing to push forward in the MLS playoff race.
Captain Ashley Cole said the decision to relieve Sigi Schmid of his duties with six games left in the regular season was a wake-up call for a team that is two spots and three points removed from a Western Conference postseason berth.
“As players, when the manager gets sacked you have to look in the mirror and say ‘it’s not always the manager,’ ” Cole said Tuesday after the team’s second training session under new coach Dominic Kinnear.
