Toronto FC fires head coach Robin Fraser after failing to make the post-season since 2020

Toronto FC announced it has fired head coach Robin Fraser and will begin a search for a replacement after missing the post-season.

The Story

Toronto FC has fired head coach Robin Fraser after two seasons in charge, the club announced Monday.

The club said it will begin a search for a new coach immediately ahead of the Sprint Season, which opens Feb. 19. Toronto’s first match of the season is scheduled for Feb. 20 at Atlanta.

Fraser was named head coach on Jan. 10, 2025. During his tenure, Toronto went 15-27-26 in MLS play and finished 12th in the Eastern Conference in both seasons.

Assistant coaches Neil Emblen, Wolde Harris and Jase Kim were also leaving the club.

General manager Jason Hernandez said the club wanted to thank Fraser for his “passion and commitment,” adding: “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 last made the post-season in 2020, when it finished second in the East and was eliminated in the first round.

The club was within reach of a playoff spot after a 2-0 win over Red Bull New York on Oct. 17, but it lost three of four games afterward and finished seven points out of a post-season position.
