Herdman leaves Canada to take over at Toronto

 John Herdman has stepped down from his position as Canada head coach to take charge at Toronto FC.

The Englishman was the coach of the men's team for 58 matches, guiding them to their first World Cup in 36 years and helping the country break into the top 30 nations in the world.

Herdman also coached the women's team in 101 matches, helping them claim their first-ever Olympic medal, fittingly at London 2012.


"I am grateful for the incredible opportunity to have represented Canada for the past 12 years, for the moments I’ve been able to share with the players, the staff, and the supporters," Herdman said.


"The goal was always to leave the game in a better place and I’m confident that goal has been achieved for Canada."
