TFC Talk: John Herdman on a mission to return Reds to glory
In the latest video blog, we recap the highlights from John Herdman's introductory press conference on Tuesday as Toronto FC's new coach.
The John Herdman era has officially begun at Toronto FC.
Herdman, 48, was formally introduced as the team's new coach at a Tuesday afternoon press conference alongside club president Bill Manning and GM Jason Hernandez at the club's training facility. Herdman fielded questions for roughly 30 minutes, and made a good first impression, saying he's looking forward to tackling the job of turning around the club's ailing fortunes.
“TFC is a winning club, there’s an expectation to win in this city,” Herdman acknowledged.
He added: “That’s the mission: to bring it back, to win. That will take a little bit of time; I’m hoping it doesn’t take a great amount of time."
In the latest TFC Republic video blog, I discuss the key moments and statements from Herdman, Hernandez and Manning during Tuesday's press conference, as well as interim coach Terry Dunfield's reaction to Herdman's appointment.
(NOTE: TFC Republic will have more analysis and written articles on the Herdman news throughout this week).
