The Story
Toronto FC has fired head coach Robin Fraser after two seasons at the helm, the club announced Monday.
The club said it will immediately begin a search for a new coach before the Sprint Season opens Feb. 19, with Toronto’s first game set for Feb. 20 at Atlanta.
Fraser was appointed head coach on Jan. 10, 2025. During his tenure, Toronto went 15-27-26 in MLS play, finishing 12th in the Eastern Conference in both seasons.
The club said assistant coaches Neil Emblen, Wolde Harris and Jase Kim were also leaving.
General manager Jason Hernandez said, “On behalf of the club, I want to thank Robin for his passion and commitment that he brought to Toronto FC as head coach over the last two years.” Hernandez added, “Unfortunately, the performance and results did not meet our expectations for this roster, and it was determined that a new voice is required to take it to the next level.”
Toronto finished seven points out of a post-season spot after losing three of four games following a 2-0 win against Red Bull New York on Oct. 17.
Toronto has not made the post-season since 2020, when it finished second in the East but was eliminated in the first round. Since then, the club has gone through six coaches, including Fraser, and has not finished higher than 11th in the East since 2020.
