LAFC fires coach Dos Santos... task of improving attacking performance including Son Heung-min
LAFC dismisses coach, parts ways with Dos Santos after failing to keep promise of attacking football Attention on how Bouanga and Son Heung-min will be used... interest in the direction until a new head coach is appointed
LAFC has parted ways with head coach Marc Dos Santos. The club announced on the 28th (Korean time) that it had dismissed the coach and said it would operate with an interim coaching staff until a new permanent head coach is appointed.
The American media outlet The Athletic analyzed that LAFC appointed Dos Santos expecting more attacking soccer, but in reality, defensive tactics and reliance on counterattacks stood out. It especially pointed out that the team fell short of expectations in attacking metrics, possession, and pass pressure numbers, and that there was no clear tactical change within the team.
The outlet 평가ed that even with key attacking assets such as Denis Bouanga and Son Heungmin, the team did not show enough creativity. With six regularseason games remaining, LAFC plans to find a new coach and reorganize the team before the playoffs.
