TORONTO — One of John Herdman's biggest motivations is quite simple: the chance to develop a new group and help Toronto FC return to its former glory.
"The resume outlines with the staff that I work with — that we gravitate to this type of situation where there's a huge opportunity there," he said."This is a massive club with a huge heritage and we all believe that we'll get there pretty soon. Herdman is the first manager to lead both a women's and men's team from the same country to World Cup qualification.
Herdman will lead a TFC team that sits in last place in the Eastern Conference with a 3-13-10 record. TFC president Bill Manning referred to the team's culture as being"fractured" and said he trusts Herdman's ability to change that. "The last thing I would want to do is impose a player or an opportunity on the manager that doesn't help the team succeed and I think the same would be true is, I don't think John would wanna try to move forward with an opportunity that would put the club at a disadvantage in another way."
