LAFC fires coach Marc Dos Santos late in his disappointing 1st season in charge

Los Angeles FC has fired head coach Marc Dos Santos late in his disappointing first season in charge

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Joining South Korean NT Son was called up by South Korea for the upcoming international break between September and October.

Impact Even though there's a strong argument to say Son isn't in his prime anymore, the star forward remains a key player for South Korea and will continue to be a key player for the NT. The absence of Son leaves a huge void in the LAFC attack ahead of the Sept. 26 meeting against FC Dallas, as he has six goals and 10 assists in 25 appearances (23 starts) in 2026. With Denis Bouanga and Jacob Shaffelburg also sidelined due to international duty, Tyler Boyd and Jeremy Ebobisse are options to fill the gaps upfront for the Black and Gold -- even if it's just for one match.

Son has now scored six goals and delivered 10 assists in 25 MLS appearances this season.
