Some random thoughts I had on Toronto FC during the current MLS break due to the FIFA international window.

Catching up with Bob Bradley

I'd been working behind the scenes for more than three years to secure an interview with former Toronto FC coach Bob Bradley, who hasn't publicly spoken about his time at the club since being fired in the summer of 2023.

My persistence finally paid off. Two weeks ago, I interviewed Bradley for about an hour as he shed some light on his tenure at TFC, his relationship with the Italian DPs, his thoughts on former club president Bill Manning, what’s next for him in his career, and much more. I'll be publishing my exclusive feature story on Bradley on Thursday so be on the lookout for it.
