TORONTO — Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment has parted ways with Bill Manning, president of Toronto FC and the Toronto Argonauts.“On behalf of MLSE’s board of directors and the entire organization, we want to thank Bill for his many contributions in his nearly nine years with the company,” MLSE president and CEO Keith Pelley said in a statement.
Toronto FC is sliding down the MLS Eastern Conference standings having lost six straight in league play and is winless in nine . News of Manning's departure comes the morning after a 2-1 loss to CPL champion Forge FC in the first leg of the Canadian Championship semifinal.Manning was named TFC president in October 2015 and later added the title of Argos president when the Canadian Football League franchise was acquired by MLSE in January 2018.
As part of the transition, Toronto FC general manager Jason Hernandez and Argonauts GM Michael Clemons will report directly to MLSE president and CEO Keith Pelley. His hiring meant there was a president in charge in each of MLSE's prized assets: Brendan Shanahan with the Maple Leafs, Masai Ujiri with the Raptors and Manning with TFC."Our ambition is to bring MLS championships to our fans in Toronto and adding a leader of Bill's calibre is another important part of that process and vision," Tanenbaum added.TFC had been without a president since firing Kevin Payne, who doubled as GM, in September 2013.
