Well, it would appear the season is about to start as Montreal Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos has tendered his resignation.
Technical director Nick De Santis will take over the coaching duties in the interim.

The decision, for those who have been watching the Impact season spiral away, comes as no surprise. Whispers began to surface earlier this year that Dos Santos wasn't happy in the position he was. Several sources close to the club told Canadian Soccer News earlier this year that Dos Santos felt like he was being locked out of major decisions.
'When the lockerroom doors close, it's his team," as one source told it. "But outside of that, it's Joey (Saputo) and Dos Santos running the show."
What's next for Dos Santos? Well, he was reported to have had coaching offers from a lower division Portugeuse side mid-way through last year. Those offers are believed to still being explored.
Canadian Soccer News will have more as it develops.
