Whitecaps sign coach Sartini to two-year contract extension
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have signed head coach Vanni Sartini to a two-year contract extension through 2025, the Major League Soccer team said Saturday.
Sartini has a 38-21-27 record across all competitions since taking over the Whitecaps coaching duties from Marc Dos Santos in August 2021. The 46-year-old native of Florence, Italy, has led Vancouver to back-to-back Canadian Championships and the team qualified for the 2021 and 2023 MLS playoffs.
“I am happy, actually ecstatic, to extend my contract with Whitecaps FC,” Sartini said in a statement.
“The team has developed and grown a lot over the last two seasons. I am convinced we are trending towards even more great achievements and special nights.”
