Toronto FC players, staff prepare for extended stay south of the border

Coach Greg Vanney knows all too well what he is leaving behind when Toronto FC heads south of the border this week to resume Major League Soccer play.

His wife and their four children.

Not to mention a packed schedule that despite COVID-19 features gymnastics for their 16-year-old daughter and soccer for their three sons — 12-year-old twins and a nine-year-old. Or the commute to their assorted schools.

“We’re trying to figure how she’s going to accomplish all of that with me pretty much being unavailable for the next eight weeks,” said the 46-year-old Vanney.
