Possible candidates to replace John Herdman as TFC coach
Who will Toronto FC hire as Herdman's successor? TFC Republic looks at 10 men who could fill the coaching vacancy.
Toronto FC already had a big off-season ahead of itself, needing to bolster its anemic attack with a striker and strengthen a leaky back line with a reliable centre back or two before the start of the 2025 MLS campaign.
But last week's resignation by John Herdman means finding a new coach now tops TFC's "to-do" list.
Toronto has gone through 14 coaches since coming into the league in 2007, and only one of them (Greg Vanney, from 2014-2020) lasted for at least two years. Incredibly, the Reds have parted company with five coaches over the last four years, which underlines just how important it is to get this next hire absolutely right in order to bring some much-needed stability to the club.
Who will Toronto FC hire as Herdman's replacement? Let's consider the following 10 possibilities.
