Los Angeles FC, the Major League Soccer club of Son Heung-min, has fired head coach Marc Dos Santos.

The club announced Sunday that it had parted ways with Dos Santos and would begin searching for a new head coach. LAFC said plans for an interim coaching setup would be announced soon.

Dos Santos was appointed LAFC head coach last December as the successor to Steve Cherundolo.

He had worked as an assistant coach with LAFC for four seasons beginning in 2022 before becoming the third head coach in club history.

LAFC struggled under Dos Santos, posting 11 wins, eight draws and nine losses for 41 points, leaving the club sixth in the Western Conference.

With Son and other players away on international duty, LAFC lost 1-0 to FC Dallas over the weekend.

"Marc has given a great deal to this club over the years, and we are grateful for his commitment, care and contributions," LAFC general manager John Thorrington said. "We wish Marc and his family all the best moving forward."
