LOS ANGELES — LAFC fired head coach Marc Dos Santos on Sunday, announcing that the club had decided to part ways with him “after careful consideration.
On September 28, 2026, Los Angeles FC (LAFC) announced they had terminated the contract of their head coach, Marc Dos Santos.

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.
