Robin Fraser, 58, was a key assistant to head coach Greg Vanney from 2015 to 2019 before leaving Toronto’s Major League Soccer club to take over the Colorado Rapids.
Toronto FC formally introduced Robin Fraser as its 15th head coach Wednesday, hoping the former TFC assistant coach can lead the club back to its former glory.

With Colorado, Fraser was runner-up for coach of the year in 2021 when the Rapids finished atop the Western Conference with a club-record 61 points. But he was fired in September 2023 after compiling a 47-48-34 record across all competitions."Coming into this building, it was like putting on an old shoe," Fraser said with a smile. "I've really enjoyed my time here.
"It just felt like from top to bottom the club is unified in what they want," he said. "Again I'm not going to keep referencing '16 and '17 but during that time, that's how it felt, with Tim and Greg and the rest of the staff and the scouting staff. It was so unified. Every day you walked in here, you felt like it was a family pushing in one direction."
Since last making the playoffs in 2020, when the club fell at the first post-season hurdle, Toronto has compiled a 30-75-31 record in MLS play and finished 26th, 27th, 29th and 22nd in the Supporters' Shield standings.
