LAFC coach
According to former Bundesliga pro Steven Cherundolo, the MLS should say goodbye to its strict salary cap in favor of its development. “I don’t think the salary cap will go away completely, and I don’t think it would be particularly wise either,” said the Los Angeles Football Club coach and longtime professional at Hannover 96 of the German Press Agency before the start of the season Weekend. “But a little loosened up,” he thinks it’s good.
