Vancouver Whitecaps coach Vanni Sartini has got a reprieve from Major League Soccer.

The league, citing a “successful petition,” has reduced his original six-match suspension by two games, meaning the Italian can be back on the sidelines for the March 30 visit of the Portland Timbers.

Sartini was sanctioned for his on-field actions and post-game comments following the 1-0 loss to Los Angeles FC on Nov.
