LAFC announced on Wednesday that former attacker and undisputed club legend Carlos Vela will return to the Southern California club as part-owner.
Vela joined LAFC in 2018 as the first Designated Player—or simply, the first signed player—in club history, and after helping the club experience a meteoric rise during its early years of existence, he bid a final farewell to the black and gold outfit in October 2024, when he played his final game as a professional.
