Toronto FC have parted ways with head coach Robin Fraser, the club announced Monday morning.

The decision comes two days after TFC finished 12th in the Eastern Conference (39 points) in the 2026 regular season and missed the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs. They last reached the postseason in 2020.

“On behalf of the club, I want to thank Robin for his passion and commitment that he brought to Toronto FC as head coach over the last two years,” said general manager Jason Hernandez. "Unfortunately, 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.

"A thorough search for the club's next head coach will begin immediately as we work to deliver a consistent contender to our city and our supporters.”

Fraser was appointed in January 2025, taking the reins from predecessor John Herdman. He previously coached the Colorado Rapids (2019-23), the now-defunct Chivas USA (2011-12) and was an assistant at TFC, Real Salt Lake and Red Bull New York. 

Toronto posted a 15W-26L-27D record over Fraser's two MLS seasons in charge and finished 12th in the East during both campaigns. 

The club also parted ways with assistants Neil Emblen, Wolde Harris and Jase Kim.
