TFC Tidbits: Robin Fraser lauds Michael Bradley as he begins his coaching career

Welcome to TFC Tidbits, a special feature at TFC Republic that curates small bits and pieces of news about what's going on with Toronto FC.

'He was a very thoughtful player; a very thinking player'

Coach Robin Fraser was able to somewhat tune things out during Toronto FC’s recent extended break. So much so that he missed the news about one of the most iconic and important players in the club's history.

Fraser was caught off-guard on Tuesday when told by reporters that former TFC captain Michael Bradley was recently hired as the new coach of  New York Red Bulls 2.  

But Bradley’s appointment at the MLS NEXT Pro club, his first head coaching gig, doesn’t surprise Fraser in the least.
