After missing the playoffs for a second time in three seasons, Angel City has started to make significant changes to their management, parting ways with general manager Angela Hucles Mangano. This decision marks the new controlling owner Willow Bay's first major move since joining the team, highlighting her commitment to improving the team's performance both on and off the field.
Coach Becki Tweed's position is now uncertain, as she was flanked by poor performance metrics, including a goal differential of -18. The team’s scoring woes were evident with only 22 goals this season, leading to speculation about her future, especially given that a new general manager would likely want to select their own coach.
Under the ownership of Bay and Iger, who invested a significant sum to raise the team's value to $250 million, the expectation is there for improvement. Their substantial investment was flooded with optimism for enhancement and success, hoping to transform Angel City from being a competitive anomaly into a formidable force within the league.
Angel City's community involvement remains commendable despite struggles on the field. The team's initiative to deliver over 2 million meals and mobilize extensive volunteer efforts showcases their significant local impact, yet the franchise must now shift its focus towards on-field success to match these off-field achievements.
