In a fairly astonishing about-face, it seems any bad blood between Sebastian Giovinco and Toronto FC has begun to dissipate. The diminutive Italian attended his former club’s match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday, taking it all in from club president Bill Manning’s private suite.
Giovinco was shown on the jumbotron just a minute into the game with the caption “Grazie Seba.” The club’s all-time leading goalscorer was greeted with a very warm ovation by the BMO Field crowd, and south-end supporters unfurled their own banner thanking the Atomic Ant.
Seba left TFC this past off-season for the warmer climes of Saudi Arabia, after what seemed like a fairly ugly breakup.
