A decade ago, with the team stumbling to a third consecutive winless season, the Galaxy fired general manager Alexi Lalas and brought in former national team coach Bruce Arena to restore order.
It worked with Arena, who also took over as coach, leading the team to eight consecutive playoff appearances and three MLS Cup games, the most successful stretch by any club in league history.
So now, after losing a franchise-worst 30 games and not reaching the postseason the last two years, the Galaxy are apparently talking to Arena again, hoping he can provide guidance for a team in dire need of direction.
