Robin Fraser Returns as Toronto FC Head Coach

Robin Fraser has been appointed as the new head coach of Toronto FC, marking his third Major League Soccer head coaching role after previous stints with Chivas USA and Colorado Rapids. Fraser, 58, returns to Toronto where he was an assistant coach from 2015 to 2019, contributing to the team's successful 2017 season, which saw them win the MLS Cup, Supporters' Shield, and Canadian Championship. He succeeds John Herdman, who resigned in November after a disappointing season where Toronto finished 11th in the Eastern Conference. Fraser's contract with Toronto FC extends through the 2027 season. Before rejoining Toronto, Fraser also served as an adviser to CT United FC and was considered by other MLS teams, including the New England Revolution and San Jose Earthquakes. His coaching career is complemented by a distinguished playing history, including being named MLS Defender of the Year twice and earning 27 caps for the U.S. national team.
