After major overhaul, Vancouver Whitecaps ‘hungry’ for start of MLS season Globe_Sports

Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Marc Dos Santos gestures during MLS soccer practice in Vancouver, on Feb. 26, 2019.Marc Dos Santos has been scouring the globe for talent and crafting a new style of play as he worked to rebuild the Vancouver Whitecaps this off-season.

Dos Santos was hired in early November and immediately went to work cleaning house. The club parted ways with 20 players, including last year’s top three scorers – striker Kei Kamara, and midfielders Alphonso Davies and Cristian Techera – and captain Kendall Waston. Fourteen new faces have filled their spots, including one who will be familiar to Whitecaps fans.

Club president Bruno de Carvalho repeatedly raged against individual players on social media and a group of violent fans forced their way into the team’s training facility, attacking players and trashing a dressing room. The experience was terrifying, Montero said.“It was scary. It was probably the worst thing that has happened to me before in my life,” he said, adding that he still takes positives from his time in Portugal.

One young player who’ll be looking to establish a role on the team is South Korean Hwang In-beom. Vancouver signed the 22-year-old midfielder late last month.
