Whitecaps’ Jesper Sørensen is surely the best coach in MLS

The Province argues that Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sørensen is the best manager in Major League Soccer following an exceptional 2026 campaign. Vancouver concluded the regular season with a 2-0 victory over Montreal, setting a club-record 64 points. Across his first two MLS seasons, Sørensen has accumulated 125 points, setting an all-time league record that surpasses Tata Martino's previous mark with Atlanta United.

The Whitecaps ended the year leading MLS with 74 goals scored, the fewest conceded at 34, and the league's top expected goals metrics. The writer highlights Sørensen's tactical mastery and squad management, noting standout contributions from Thomas Müller, Ryan Gauld, and Cheikh Sabaly. Vancouver begins their MLS Cup playoff campaign on November 22 against either Real Salt Lake or Seattle Sounders.
