TORONTO, Canada—Toronto FC announced on Tuesday that Javier Perez will not return as head coach next season, putting an end to his four-month tenure in charge of the Reds.
“We would like to thank Javier for his hard work this season,” said Toronto FC President Bill Manning in a press release. “He stepped into a difficult situation and was a true professional in every regard. We wish him well in his next endeavor.”
After stepping in as interim head coach following the firing of Chris Armas on July 4, Perez was dealt a difficult hand, essentially asked to do the impossible and save a sinking ship.
