The head coach of the MLS team Toronto FC, has quit today over what he says are personal reasons. Coach John Carver resignation is effective immediately though nothing will be announced until after Toronto’s game against the Kansas City Wizards on Sunday.
Carver was known as a passionate coach who was openly upset with the MLS for not running a proper soccer league. He once told reporters…
“I’m a very passionate guy and I love the game. And that’s the way I am. And apparently they don’t want that in the MLS. They don’t want passionate people. They don’t want people who care for the game and wear their heart on the sleeve. They want me to sit down on the chair, in the dugout with my arms folded, my legs crossed and just be a nice little boy and get a suntan. Well, no. If that’s what they want to get, I’ll get on a plane and fly home again.”
He was also fined $750 last week by referees at a game against Dallas when he objected against a penalty call.
