If there was any question on whether or not the Vancouver Whitecaps believed in Head Coach Carl Robinson, that was certainly answered on Wednesday morning. The club announced the re-signing of Robinson through 2020, as well as multi-year extensions for assistant coaches Martyn Pert and Gordon Forrest.
It’s a vote of confidence for a coaching staff that had a tumultuous 2016 season, in which a club that seemed ready to contend for a playoff spot, failed to qualify. Still, management obviously think this is not going to be the norm from Carl and his team, rewarding him with a strong sign of faith.
