Angel City co-founder tired of waiting for success: 'It's time to win'

"It's time to win. We're in L.A. We live in a city of champions and we want to be on the same mantle as them. It's a process but we have the right team in place, on and off the pitch, to accomplish that."

"Over its previous four seasons, Angel City lost 12 more games than it won, finished with a winning record only once and made just one playoff appearance. And it has used four coaches, three sporting directors and more than 70 players in its search for success."

"We needed to rip it up and start again. As a result, more than half the players on the opening day roster weren't with Angel City at the start of last season."

Angel City FC, founded in 2020 by Julie Uhrmann and over 100 owners, achieved unprecedented valuation and community investment in women's professional sports. However, the team has struggled competitively, losing 12 more games than won over four seasons with only one playoff appearance. Uhrmann, stepping into an advisory role, emphasizes the organization's commitment to winning, stating the team must match Los Angeles's championship culture. Sporting director Mark Parsons and coach Alexander Straus implemented significant roster changes, replacing more than half the opening day roster from the previous season to pursue a new competitive direction.
