Los Angeles Galaxy coach Ruud Gullit has resigned and president and general manager Alexi Lalas has been sacked.
Gullit cited personal reasons for leaving while Lalas has been let go as the club, without a win in seven games, initiates "sweeping changes".
Galaxy bought England midfielder David Beckham to the club with a five-year deal worth £130m in July 2007 and have been under intense scrutiny ever since.
Honestly, tell me you didn't see this coming with a straight face. Do it. I dare you.
AEG warned the Galaxy last week, and now the heads are rolling.
Both Ruud Gullit and Alexi Lalas have been relieved of their duties as head coach and GM, respectively.

This picture was taken on June 23,2007 when the LA Galaxy played the Columbus Crew at the Home Depot Center. Alexi Lalas wasn't doing an organized picture taking session, some fans just spotted him before I did and he was cool enough to stick around for one more picture with me.
