TORONTO, Canada—The Chris Armas era has arrived.
When news broke Wednesday afternoon that the former New York Red Bulls manager would indeed be the next head coach of Toronto FC, it took many fans by surprise.
With the likes of Laurent Blanc, Patrick Vieira, and Vincenzo Montella all being interviewed for the position, and given how adamant Ali Curtis and Bill Manning were about TFC being a big club, it’s safe to say that Armas wasn’t the “big” name many TFC supporters were hoping for.
