LAFC sack Dos Santos less than a year after appointment

n n

Los Angeles FC on Sunday fired head coach Marc Dos Santos following the Major League Soccer club’s defeat to FC Dallas.

n

A brief statement from LAFC said the club had decided to axe Dos Santos after less than a year in the job following “careful consideration.”

n

“Marc has given a great deal to this club over the years, and we are grateful for his commitment, care and contributions to LAFC,” President of Soccer Operations John Thorrington said in a statement.

n

“We wish Marc and his family all the best moving forward.”

n

The statement said LAFC will name an interim coach soon ahead of a formal search for a permanent successor to Dos Santos, who joined the club as an assistant coach in 2022.

n

Dos Santos, 49, leaves LAFC with the club in sixth place in the Western Conference standings, with 41 points from 28 games.

n

The Canadian’s dismissal came a day after LAFC were beaten 1-0 by FC Dallas on Saturday.
