MLS: Toronto FC fire Robin Fraser after two seasons

Two seasons, the same finish

Toronto FC has parted ways with head coach Robin Fraser. The club announced the decision on Monday, two seasons after hiring him in January 2025.

The numbers explain it. Toronto finished 12th in the Eastern Conference this year at 9-13-12 for 39 points, seven short of the playoff line. It was the second year running that the Reds ended up 12th under Fraser, who is 59. Toronto hasn’t reached the postseason since 2020.

What the club said

General manager Jason Hernandez framed it as a question of ambition. “The performance and results did not meet our expectations for this roster, and it was determined that a new voice is required to take it to the next level,” he said. He added that a thorough search for the next head coach starts immediately.

Fraser’s assistants went with him. Neil Emblen, Wolde Harris and Jase Kim were also dismissed.

Fraser’s résumé

Toronto was not his first MLS head job. Fraser coached the Colorado Rapids from 2019 to 2023 and Chivas USA in 2011 and 2012. Before that he worked as an assistant at Toronto, Real Salt Lake and the New York Red Bulls.
