Toronto FC concludes a difficult year marked by disappointments in the MLS and the departure of head coach John Herdman.
The team has struggled to live up to its historic success, leaving fans with mixed emotions about the future. As of now, the club has not announced a new head coach, adding uncertainty to the upcoming season.
Despite these setbacks, Toronto FC has made some promising moves, including acquiring three new talents in the MLS SuperDraft, who are expected to play a significant role in the team's rebuilding process. However, many questions remain about the club's ability to return to its competitive best.
Toronto FC will begin preparations for the 2025 season with a training camp in Marbella, Spain, where they will face a mix of European and MLS clubs. Among the European teams expected are Chelsea, Copenhagen, Viktoria Plzen, Freiburg, Malmö, and Feyenoord, providing a valuable opportunity to measure up against top-tier opposition.
Additionally, fellow MLS sides Seattle Sounders, Philadelphia Union, and FC Dallas will also participate, creating a competitive environment for all teams involved. These intense training sessions and friendlies will be crucial for Toronto FC to refine its squad and strategies.
Following the Marbella camp, Toronto FC will have nearly three weeks to prepare for the 2025 MLS season opener on February 22 against DC United. This fixture marks a pivotal moment for the team as they aim to set the tone for the new season under what is expected to be a revitalized project.
While uncertainties persist about the managerial position and overall direction, fans remain hopeful that these efforts will help Toronto FC regain its competitive edge in the MLS and lay the groundwork for future success.
