Angel City FC fires head coach Alex Straus a little over a year after his appointment, according to multiple reports. Straus, who joined from Bayern Munich last summer, takes charge of the Los Angeles-based club during a period of transition that includes a stated emphasis on younger players ahead of the 2026 NWSL season. Despite that shift, the team’s results do not improve. Reports say Angel City wins just once in its last eight matches and sits 12th in the 16-team NWSL standings. The club also finished the previous season in 11th place with 27 points. While Straus previously worked at Bayern Munich, where he won multiple trophies, the reports focus on Angel City’s poor run of form during his tenure. The firing comes after roughly one year at the helm and leaves the club seeking a replacement as it continues its rebuild for the next season.
