When the Vancouver Whitecaps hired former LAFC assistant coach Marc dos Santos earlier this offseason, there was a singular message preached: This is a long-term, rebuilding project and we believe in dos Santos’ ability to lead it.
‘We believe we can win a championship and we wanted someone to come in and feel the same way, and from the time was started talking, it was evident that that was what his objective,’ said Vancouver Whitecaps president, Bob Lenarduzzi.
Clearly, Lenarduzzi and the Whitecaps do not believe that they could win a championship this season.
