The Los Angeles Galaxy are experiencing a difficult time this season. They are six points behind the Vancouver Whitecaps, the last team to qualify for the playoffs, and the fans have recently raised their voices to demand better results from the executives and players immediately.

Guillermo Barros Schelotto is on the dance to be the next head coach of Palmeiras, the Brazilian side which is playing the Copa Libertadores de América and has already qualified for the playoffs. The current LA Galaxy coach is experienced in this competition since when he was the Boca Juniors coach he reached the 2018 Copa Libertadores final. He had also won the competition as a player.

The truth is that since Guillermo Barros Schelotto arrived to LA Galaxy, at the beginning of 2019, this is the most complicated moment that it has has lived. Palmeiras had part ways with the historic Vanderlei Luxembourg and is now in search for his replacement. The front-office of the Brazilian club has already contacted Barros Schelotto, who is interested in the proposition.

LA Galaxy comes from a 4-0 loss to Matías Almeyda's San José Earthquakes and is last in the Western Conference standings. In addition, he stacked his sixth consecutive defeat. So far this season, he has four wins, three draws and nine losses in 16 appearances. On the other hand, the Brazilian club that is interested in him is in the seventh position of the Brasileirao and this Wednesday, October 21, will receive Tigre from Argentina seeking to stay with the first place in Group B of the Copa
