When Benoit Cheyrou was subbed on in the final minute of the MLS Cup final it was pretty clear that it would be the last action of his career. Sure enough, Toronto FC confirmed yesterday that the 36-year-old Frenchman is hanging up his boots and will join their academy coaching staff.
Cheyrou’s career spanned 19 years, the final three of which were spent in Toronto. During that time he scored one of the biggest goals in club history, an extra time header against the Montreal Impact to send Toronto FC to their first ever MLS Cup final.
