Will Kuntz has been named General Manager of the Los Angeles Galaxy. Kuntz will report directly to Dan Beckerman, President and CEO of AEG, and will be responsible for soccer operations from the first team to the academy, including scouting, player signings, wage cap, and budgets, as announced today by Beckerman. Greg Vanney will report to Kuntz and will resume his primary function as Head Coach, guiding the club’s technical vision, including coaching methods, while overseeing the first team staff and the sports performance department. Kuntz and Vanney will work together on all significant Club soccer operations decisions. 

“There is no opportunity in Major League Soccer more exciting to me than the chance to help lead this club to reclaim its place as the top club in the league,” said Kuntz. “I want to thank Greg Vanney for being my strongest advocate in bringing me into the Club last winter, and I am thrilled with how our partnership has developed since I came on board. I look forward to collaborating with Greg towards achieving our shared vision and building on the foundation that has been created over the past several years. AEG’s commitment to providing this organization with everything necessary to be successful has been evident over the years and I’ve seen it firsthand during my time with the club.” 

In April 2023, Kuntz was named Senior Vice President of Player Personnel for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Kuntz was responsible for numerous facets of the LA Galaxy’s soccer operations as Senior Vice President of Player Personnel, including wage cap management, club growth, the immigration process, executing player and personnel contracts, and technical administration.

Kuntz joined the Galaxy after serving as Senior Vice President of Soccer Operations and Assistant General Manager with LAFC for the previous six seasons (2017-22). Kuntz was a member of the LAFC team that won the MLS Cup in 2022 as well as the Supporters’ Shield in 2019 and 2022.
