LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles Lakers have hired Frank Vogel to become the team's next head coach on a three-year deal, according to ESPN.

Vogel, 45, previously coached the Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers. He met with the Lakers Thursday.

Vogel previously worked for the Lakers as an advance scout during the 2005-2006 season.
