However, in early 2015, Santos was forced to return to the Dominican Republic for personal reasons, expressing effusiveness at the premature exit and stating that he thoroughly enjoyed his experience in Monforte de Lemos.[3]
During his stint there, he was also coach of their youth categories, connecting well with the children who regretted his early departure.[3]
