Toronto FC has bolstered its coaching staff by adding former Colorado Rapids assistants Neil Emblen and Jase Kim. The club traded its 2026 MLS SuperDraft first-round pick to acquire the duo, with the potential for additional financial compensation.
TORONTO — New head coach Robin Fraser added to his coaching staff Friday with Toronto FC making a deal to pry loose two of his former assistants from the Colorado Rapids.
"I'm really happy that we were able to get them," said Fraser."I know it comes at a price but I think it's worthwhile … I do feel like this project needed a fresh kind of feeling. And certainly these are people that I've been through a lot with and have a great deal of trust in." A former defender and midfielder whose playing career stretched from 1987 to 2011, Emblem had stints with Tonbridge Angels, Sittingbourne, Millwall, Wolves, Crystal Palace, Norwich City and Walsall in his native England before moving to the Southern Hemisphere to play for the New Zealand Knights and Waitakere United."I love his character. I love his enthusiasm for the game," he added."He's a very good coach.
