Ruud Gullit has resigned as coach of the LA Galaxy for personal reasons and president/general manager Alexi Lalas has also left.

Gullit, who took over at Galaxy last November, has quit the MLS outfit because of personal reasons.

Former American international Lalas, whose current deal was due to expire at the end of the year, has seen his contract terminated early.

The news comes in the wake of an alarming slump in form for David Beckham's Galaxy with the side failing to win in their last seven games.

Galaxy investor/operator Tim Leiweke confirmed Gullit and Lalas had left the club.

"We are stepping up and doing what we need to do to straighten this thing out," said Leiweke.

"There are two good people that for different reasons aren't part of this organisation today, and that's a shame.

"The fact is, the players have to look deep inside themselves and understand they have to be responsible for some of this.

"The Galaxy hasn't made the play-offs for a couple of years. Punting on this season is not acceptable."

First-team coach Cobi Jones is set to replace Gullit on a temporary basis as Galaxy look to get their season back on track.

    • Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update

      By samw61 · Posted

      Now I may not quite understand this, so someone tell me if I'm off the mark here, but does this mean they'll be potentially removing drivers for now unsupported systems, such as old processors and chipsets? In the past 15 years, Windows has been amazing at just installing on any device, and often having zero, or just a few unessential drivers missing on first install. It would be a shame for that experience to go, though I understand the reasoning, or at least their financial reasoning for it!
    • Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update

      Microsoft is removing legacy drivers from Windows Update by Usama Jawad Last month, we learned that Microsoft is making major changes to the development of hardware drivers in Windows. This included the retirement of Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS), along with the process for pre-production driver signing. Now, the Redmond tech firm has informed partners that it will be getting rid of old drivers in Windows Update. In what is being described as a "strategic" move to improve the security posture and compatibility of Windows, Microsoft has announced that it will be performing a cleanup of legacy drivers that are still being delivered through Windows Update. Right now, the first phase only targets drivers that already have modern replacements present in Windows Update. As a part of its cleanup process, Microsoft will expire legacy drivers so that it is not offered to any system. This expiration involves removing audience segments in the Hardware Development Center. Partners can still republish a driver that was deemed as legacy by Microsoft, but the firm may require a justification. Once the Redmond tech giant completes its first phase of this cleanup, it will give partners a six-month grace period to share any concerns. However, if no concerns are brought forward, the drivers will be permanently eradicated from Windows Update. Microsoft has emphasized that this will be a regular activity moving forward and while the current phase only targets legacy drivers with newer replacements, the next phases may expand the scope of this cleanup and remove other drivers too. That said, each time the company takes a step in this direction, it will inform partners so that there is transparency between both parties. Microsoft believes that this move will help improve the security posture of Windows and ensure that an optimized set of drivers is offered to end-users. The firm has asked partners to review their drivers in Hardware Program so that there are no unexpected surprises during this cleanup process.
    • These SSDs from Crucial, SanDisk, and Western Digital are selling at great prices

      No idea, but I had a client the other week that lost the entire drive to it. I suggested relying on the Samsung T7's instead. The Sandisk Extreme's had reliability issues too.
    • Is the Start menu in Windows actually useful? Do we even need it?

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      I use it every day so personally yes I need it, or rather I want it. I use OpenShell though, not the garbage modern Start Menu. I just counted and at the moment I have a total of 92 program shortcuts organized into six folders almost exactly the way I did back in Windows 95. I can get to any program I want to run very quickly. I never use Search to find or run programs.
