Los Angeles FC (LAFC) is gearing up for an important match against CF Montreal, soon followed by a pivotal Club World Cup play-off against Club America. This play-off opportunity arose after Club Leon was disqualified due to ownership issues, with the match set for May 31. Despite head coach Steve Cherundolo announcing his departure at season's end, general manager John Thorrington remarked on the positive trajectory of the team. LAFC aims to shift focus to their next game against Montreal, looking to bounce back from a disappointing draw against LA Galaxy while also navigating ongoing internal changes.
"It'll be an honour for us to play in it," said LAFC general manager John Thorrington, reflecting excitement for the upcoming Club World Cup play-off.
Cherundolo described the "pure disappointment" of last week's El Trafico draw, emphasizing the importance of focusing on specific games.
Thorrington acknowledged recent weeks have been "not a whirlwind," indicating Cherundolo's decision has had a "galvanising" effect on LAFC.
The coach added: "We can't lose sight of the journey we're on for the entire season. The steps we've made as a group have been very positive."
