CARSON >> New Galaxy coach Curt Onalfo’s staff has a familiar look to him and to those in the Galaxy organization.

Onalfo, who was hired to replace Bruce Arena as Galaxy coach in December, will bring with him from the Galaxy II staff Rob Becerra and Daniel Gonzalez and it also announced that former MLS star Ante Razov, whose playing career began with the Galaxy in 1996, has joined the staff from Seattle.

The moves were announced Tuesday.

The openings were created with previous assistants Dave Sarachan, Pat Noonan, Kenny Arena and Matt Reis joined Arena with the U.S. Men’s National team.

“They have a really good understanding of how I work,” Onalfo said. “Which I think is an advantage because we want to hit the ground running.”

Razov’s playing career started with the Galaxy after a career at UCLA.

He went on to flourish with the Chicago Fire and ended his MLS career with 114 goals in 262 appearances.

He spent time coaching the Galaxy Academy system before joining the Sounders’ coaching staff in 2015.

“He’s one of our league’s best goal scorers,” Onalfo said of Razov. “He’s got a great mind for the game. We feel like he will be a real valuable asset and he’ll be able to give some great insight and nuances to our attacking player.”

Becerra and Gonzalez both joined the Galaxy II staff during the inaugural 2014 season. Gonzalez will replace Reis as the goalkeeper coach.

Becerra has also coached at Stanford University (2006-2013) and Redlands University, where he compiled a 126-28-8 record.

Gonzalez’s coaching history included stints with the Colorado Rapids and Chivas USA before joining Galaxy II.

“I think it was a natural progression,” Onalfo said of Becerra and Gonzalez joining the first team staff. “Daniel’s been in the league and he has enormous experience and has a great feel for all of our goalkeepers. Rob has a great mind for the game and he’s a great addition.”
