John Herdman has stepped down from his position as head coach of the Canadian Men's National Team program, and will be the next head coach of Toronto FC, the club and national side announced on Monday.
Herdman and TFC had reportedly been in extended talks for the past several weeks, with a report from Aug. 14 first revealing the mutual interest between the two sides.
"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 via a Canada Soccer release.
