Galaxy assistant coach will not be charged following arrest
Galaxy assistant coach Nick Theslof will not be charged following his arrest on suspicion of public intoxication Saturday morning in Nashville, according to Davidson County court records. Theslof’s case was closed following his release from jail.
Theslof, who was arrested a day after the Galaxy arrived in Nashville, was listed in the MLS game report as being present on the sideline for the 2-2 draw on Sunday afternoon.
“The LA Galaxy were made aware of the situation regarding assistant coach Nick Theslof this morning,” general manager Will Kuntz said in a statement late Monday. “The club is still gathering facts and reviewing the matter. We will have no further comment at this time.”
Theslof, 48, won an NCAA championship under former Galaxy coach Sigi Schmid at UCLA but went directly into coaching after college, working as an assistant to Jurgen Klinsmann both with the German national team in the 2006 World Cup and later with Bayern Munich before returning to the U.S. as an assistant with Chivas USA.
He worked on the staff of current Galaxy coach Greg Vanney for seven seasons in Toronto before following him back to Carson in 2021.
