General manager Lagerwey to discuss RSL future

Garth Lagerwey says he will soon sit down with Real Salt Lake owner Dell Loy Hansen to sort out his future at the club.

The 41-year old has held the vice-president and general manager position at the MLS club since 2007 but comes out of contract at the end of the year.

RSL were eliminated from the MLS play-offs in disappointing circumstances when losing 5-0 to LA Galaxy on the weekend but Lagerwey insists there will be no hurry to change things at Rio Tinto Stadium.

"There's no rush. I'm in no hurry, I don't think they are," Lagerwey said.

"We have a number of weeks. I'm totally committed to the offseason. There's a ton of work to do and I'm going to keep doing it and I'm going to keep helping the coaching staff and helping this franchise as long as I can."

He added: "We'll sit down with ownership. I don't think it's fair to characterize anything until I sit down with Mr. Hansen and pay him the respect of sitting down eye-to-eye and hearing him out and seeing what he has to say.

"I think when you get that information, it'll be much easier to make a decision."
