TORONTO — John Herdman has spent over a decade successfully leading Canada at the international level.
Now the longtime soccer coach faces perhaps his most challenging task yet — restoring Major League Soccer club Toronto FC to its former glory.
Herdman stepped down as coach of Canada’s men’s team on Monday and has been named head coach of TFC, taking over from interim skipper Terry Dunfield. He will assume coaching responsibilities on October 1.
Herdman inherits a struggling TFC club that currently sits in last place in the Eastern Conference with a 3-13-10 record.
He joins MLS after 13 successful years coaching Canada at the international level.
He is the first manager to lead both a women’s and men’s team from the same country to World Cup qualification.
