CARSON, Calif. -- Peter Vagenas replaced Bruce Arena as the LA Galaxys general manager on Monday.Galaxy President Chris Klein promoted Vagenas, the captain of the Galaxys 2005 MLS championship team. Vagenas will be involved in the search for a coach to replace Arena, who was the Galaxys coach and GM while leading the club to three MLS Cup titles.Arena returned to the U.S. national team last week.Pete has been part of this club since its early years and embodies everything the Galaxy stands for, said Klein, Vagenas teammate with the Galaxy for two seasons.Vagenas also will remain the Galaxys vice president of soccer operations, his job since January. The Los Angeles-area native and UCLA graduate became the director of the LA Galaxy Academy in 2013 after playing nine of his 13 MLS seasons with the Galaxy, winning two MLS Cups.Not only does he have a deep affection for the LA Galaxy and knows what were about, but he also knows what weve been building, Klein said. Im confident in the value that he brings to the club in understanding us, and also understanding the league rules and how we can best build a team that can be successful.Klein and Vagenas will be in charge of charting the future for the Galaxy, who face major changes after the departures of Arena, Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard over the past month.Klein intends to have a coach in place before 2017, but the Galaxy also are plotting personnel moves to bolster their roster after finishing sixth in the MLS table and losing in the Western Conference semifinals.Klein confirmed LA Galaxy II coach Curt Onalfo is the only internal candidate for the job, but the club plans to interview at least one international coach. Former Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid, another UCLA product, also could be a candidate, Klein said.A coach has to have a belief not only in our club, but in our league, Klein said. There are a number of bright soccer minds around the world that could easily translate what they do to our league, but they have to believe in it.The Galaxy are known for their high-profile signings of international stars, from David Beckham and Keane to Gerrard and Giovani Dos Santos. Yet theyve also invested in player development while producing a series of homegrown contributors in recent years, including Gyasi Zardes and defender Daniel Steres.Klein plans to continue that two-pronged approach to success after the departures of Keane and Gerrard, but the Galaxy still have the core of an MLS contender built around Dos Santos, Zardes, Sebastian Lletget and a strong back line led by Jelle Van Damme. Landon Donovan also might extend his comeback for another season.While praising their returning players, Klein indicated the Galaxy will attempt to be active in the international transfer market this winter with two designated player slots open.We have the resources, the backing from (owner) AEG, to continue aggressively in this manner, Klein said.

"I wrote 36 on my sheet at the beginning of the game," the Cincinnati coach said, referring the yard line the ball would need to be snapped from. MINNEAPOLIS -- Iowa was reeling from a pair of losses to teams the Hawkeyes were favored to beat, pushing that 12-0 regular season from 2015 to the back of the memory bank.They got back on track with a gritty victory over rival Minnesota.Akrum Wadley took off for a 54-yard touchdown run with 5:28 left and the Hawkeyes hung on to beat the Gophers 14-7 on Saturday to hoist the Floyd of Rosedale trophy for the second straight year.We just kept grinding, said Wadley, who had 14 carries for 107 yards for Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten), who matched the program record with an eighth straight road win despite two interceptions thrown by C.J. Beathard.Iowa has won four of the last five meetings and 12 of 16. Minnesota still leads the overall series 62-46-2.I would like to say we wanted it more, said Beathard, whose streak with a touchdown pass in nine straight games was stopped.Floyd, the 98-pound bronze pig first awarded in 1935 as a bet between the governors of the two states, mustve felt unwanted for most of the game.Mitch Leidner completed only 13 of 33 passes for 166 yards and was also picked off twice for the Gophers (3-2, 0-2), who were flagged eight times for 58 yards and lead the conference in penalties.After one of Ryan Santosos nine punts went only 30 yards, Wadley scored on the next play. Sophomore safety Jacob Huff, subbing for an injured Antoine Winfield Jr., went the wrong way at the snap and missed a futile diving attempt at the tackle. LeShun Daniels Jr. ran in the 2-point conversion.Sooner or later, they slip up and it will be a long one, Wadley said. Either LeShun or me was going to hit it.The Gophers overcame Leidners second interception and regained the ball with no timeouts and 86 seconds remaining. Leidner moved the ball to the 13 with four completions, but his fourth-down fade throw to Brian Smith in the end zone fell short with 43 seconds left.This one really hurt, Gophers linebacker Jonathan Celestin said, especially losing at home.Shannon Brooks gave Minnesota a 7-6 lead midway through the third quarter with a 9-yard run, but the Gophers didnt take full advantage of an IIowa defense that was leaking an average of 183 rushing yards per game.dddddddddddd Brooks and Rodney Smith combined for only 21 carries.I think the holes were there, Brooks said. Maybe try to break more tackles.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA: Kept alive the hope of winning the West Division again, recovering from a homecoming loss to Northwestern with a performance that wasnt pretty but still a winner. The Hawkeyes get both Wisconsin and Nebraska at home this season.This win defines our season, cornerback Desmond King said.MINNESOTA: Struggled all afternoon to sustain drives, let alone score, after totaling 86 points in the last two games against Iowa. Leidner didnt complete a pass until less than 4 1/2 minutes were left in the first half, and his throw into double coverage at the Iowa 35 later on that possession was picked off.He never could set his feet because he had to get the hell out of the way, coach Tracy Claeys said. They were just squeezing the pocket, and the protection wasnt any good, and I think that leads to some inaccuracies.FRONT FIVEThe Hawkeyes were unable to consistently protect Beathard, who was hampered by a handful of drops by their receivers. Twice they reached the 10 and settled for a short field goal by Keith Duncan. The run blocking was better, though, with Cole Croston (right tackle), Boone Myers (left tackle) and Ike Boettger (left guard) in new spots on the line.HUNGRY HARDINCornerback KiAnte Hardin, one of four players on Minnesotas defense reinstated this week from suspension after an alleged sexual assault investigation produced no charges, returned to the starting lineup with seven tackles and his first career interception off a pass he tipped in the end zone and returned 31 yards .UP NEXTIOWA: Travels to face Purdue, where theyve won three times in a row.MINNESOTA: Plays at Maryland, the first regular season game between the two teams.
