LAFC fires Marc Dos Santos, begins search for new head coach

On September 28, 2026, Los Angeles FC (LAFC) announced they had terminated the contract of their head coach, Marc Dos Santos. The club cited "careful consideration" as the rationale for the decision, but did not disclose any specific reasons behind the dismissal. LAFC president John Thorrington expressed gratitude towards Dos Santos for his contributions to the club over the years, wishing him and his family well in the future.

The club has not named an immediate replacement for Dos Santos and has not outlined a timeline for hiring a permanent successor. Additionally, LAFC has not identified any candidates for the position or specified who will lead the team during the interim period. The club's announcement leaves LAFC with two immediate tasks: appointing an interim coaching staff and identifying the coach who will guide the club moving forward. Further details on the transition are expected in a forthcoming update from the club.
