Toronto FC fires Robin Fraser after missing MLS playoffs

Toronto FC fired coach Robin Fraser on Monday after the club finished 9-13-12 and missed the MLS playoffs. The club said it would begin searching immediately for a successor ahead of the 2027 season.

Toronto closed its campaign Saturday with a 4-1 loss at Philadelphia. Fraser went 15-27-26 in MLS play after his hiring in January 2025. Staff members Neil Emblen, Wolde Harris and Jase Kim are also leaving.

“The performance and results did not meet our expectations for this roster,” general manager Jason Hernandez said in the club’s announcement. Hernandez is scheduled to speak to reporters Tuesday.
