Angel City FC appointed Alexander Straus as its new head coach following an extensive search helmed by sporting director Mark Parsons. Previously coaching Bayern Munich women, who are on track to win their third consecutive league title, Straus will officially join Angel City on June 1. The search process included exploring a wide array of candidates across various leagues, emphasizing the need for a proven winner and strong communication skills. Despite initial interest in two current NWSL coaches, the decision ultimately favored Straus as the team's preferred candidate.
