VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps have fired head coach Vanni Sartini.

Vancouver finished eighth in the Western Conference this season after posting a 13-13-8 record in MLS play.

The Whitecaps then won a play-in playoff game at Portland before taking conference winners Los Angeles FC to the limit in a best-of-three first-round series.

The team also picked up its third straight Canadian championship, beating Toronto FC 4-2 on penalties after the final ended in a 0-0 tie.

Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster will hold a news conference later today in Vancouver.
