Toronto FC fires head coach Bob Bradley, names Terry Dunfield assistant coach

[ad_1]

In the midst of another horrendous season and on the heels of another disheartening collapse, Toronto FC has made a big change.

Bob Bradley, head coach and sporting director was fired on Monday morning, the team announced.

Bradley’s assistant coach and technical director Mike Sorber was also let go. Former Reds and Canadian national team midfielder Terry Dunfield takes over as interim head coach. Dunfield had been coaching TFC’s under-17 team at TFC Academy, and has also done extensive work as a broadcaster since retiring.

Toronto has just three wins in 20 games this season and a 3-10-7 record overall. Only Inter Miami has earned fewer points in the Eastern Conference, but at least Lionel Messi is on the way to South Beach. Overall, Bradley went 14-26-19 with the Reds following his high-profile hiring in November of 2021.

Bradley’s son Michael is the team’s captain and a franchise legend.

“Bob has been a consummate professional with Toronto FC and we thank him for his passion and tireless work during his time here. We are all disappointed that we were not able to achieve the results we expected,” Toronto FC President Bill Manning said in a statement.

Manning will meet with the media on Tuesday.

Toronto FC named Bob Bradley the club’s Head Coach & Sporting Director on November 24, 2021, and during his tenure with the Club, the team compiled a 14-26-19 record.

Terry Dunfield has been appointed interim Head Coach of Toronto FC. Dunfield brings more than 20 years of professional football experience, including time spent as a player in England with Shrewsbury Town and in Major League Soccer with both Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Dunfield assumes the role of interim Head Coach from his current role as U17 Head Coach with Toronto FC Academy.

Toronto FC President Bill Manning will be available for further comment tomorrow, Tuesday, June 27 at 11:30 a.m. at BMO Training Ground.
