Major League Soccer's coach of the year voting involves input from players, media, and each club. Last season, Toronto FC's Greg Vanney was the straightforward choice, and this year Atlanta's Tata Martino was similarly the clear favorite and deserving winner. Martino won both the player and club votes, with the media preferring to overlook both coaches that made a run at the 70 point mark in favor of Bob Bradley, the coach of the team that finished just below the one that set the modern league record for wins in a row.
Jim Curtin finished fourth in 2018 coach of the year voting.
