In a TFC season with more downs than ups, coach Javier Perez hopes to bring stability

TORONTO - In a season that has featured more downs than ups, Toronto FC is looking forward to some stability under coach Javier Perez.

On Monday, the MLS club removed the interim tag from Perez’s title and said he will run the team for the remainder of the season. After practice Thursday, the soft-spoken Spaniard deflected any congratulations on the announcement.

“It’s not about me, it’s about the team,” he said. “I think it gives a little bit more stability to the team, if anything. I know that we have to go out there and still get the three points.
