CARSON, Calif. (AP) -- Galaxy star David Beckham said former Canadian international Frank Yallop resigned as head coach of the Los Angeles MLS team Sunday night after its charity game for Southern California's wildfire victims.
"Obviously, we're disappointed," Beckham said to reporters gathered outside the team's locker room. "We felt that he was the right man. We felt that he's a good manager and a strong character with the team.
"But, we've all said, he's not walking away. He's looking after himself and he's looking after his family. It's what we would all do. We're sad to see him leave and we wish him all the luck and all the best."
Galaxy spokesman Patrick Donnelly didn't comment when asked about Yallop.
Vancouver's Yallop, the former manager of Canada's national team, was hired by the Galaxy to replace Steve Sampson in June 2006. He had an 18-21-12 in two years with the Galaxy.
