Overview

  • Toronto FC has relieved Robin Fraser of his duties after two seasons, during which the club went 15-27-26 in MLS play.
  • Assistant coaches Neil Emblen, Wolde Harris and Jase Kim were also dismissed as part of the coaching-staff overhaul.
  • General manager Jason Hernandez said the team's results fell short of expectations for the current roster and that a 'new voice' is required to move the club forward.
  • Toronto finished the 2026 campaign with a 9-13-12 record, missed the playoffs and placed near the bottom of the Eastern Conference in both seasons under Fraser.
  • The club will begin an immediate search for a successor to prepare for the Sprint Season opening in February 2027, with Toronto’s first regular-season match scheduled in Atlanta.
