LOS ANGELES () — LAFC introduced their newest head coach on Monday.
Marc Dos Santos is the third head coach in the club’s history and has served as an assistant for the past four seasons, helping lead the club to three major trophies: 2022 MLS Cup, 2022 Supporters’ Shield and 2024 U.S. Open Cup.
“I’m honored to step into the role of head coach at LAFC,” said Dos Santos. “This is a special club – you feel it the moment you step into the training facility or stadium, when you meet the people who work here, and when you see the passion of everyone involved. The ambition here is clear in the way we approach each day and in the standards we set for ourselves. My focus now is to build on the strong foundation and culture that’s already in place. I’m excited to take on the challenges ahead together with our players, staff, and supporters.”
Dos Santos, a native of Canada, has two decades of coaching experience in Brazil, Canada and the U.S.
“We are thrilled to announce Marc as the third head coach in LAFC history,” said LAFC Co-President & General Manager John Thorrington. “Marc understands as well as anyone what the best version of LAFC looks like – an entertaining, front-foot style of play grounded in ambition, intensity, and a collaborative culture that reflects who we are as a club. He has earned the trust and belief of all of our players. From our emerging young talents to our most experienced stars, the support for Marc’s appointment has been unanimous. His relationships, clarity of ideas, and passion for LAFC make him uniquely positioned to elevate what we already do well and push us toward our full potential. We are excited for this next chapter under Marc’s leadership as we continue our pursuit of excellence.”
Dos Santos’ debut match will be at the LA Memorial Coliseum in February when LAFC hosts Leo Messi and Inter Miami CF.
