Dos Santos discusses plans to build roster for 2019: 'You need to recruit very well'

VANCOUVER, BC – With all the announcements and the media rounds out of the way, it's time for new Vancouver Whitecaps FC head coach Marc Dos Santos to get down to work.

At the top of Dos Santos' to-do list is to appoint his coaching staff and then work out which current ‘Caps he wants to keep, which ones he'll be able to keep, and where new additions will need to be made.

The 'Caps have 10 players signed for 2019, with options on a number of others. Dos Santos is very familiar with all of the current roster, from his scouting capacity as assistant coach at LAFC, and he's already well aware of where the team need strengthening if they are to be MLS Cup contenders next season.
