Former Rangers manager Mark Warburton has been linked with the vacant Toronto FC job following his release from West Ham United.
The English boss is currently without a job after leaving a coaching role with the Hammers in June and is one of four names on a managerial shortlist at the MLS club.
That’s according to the Athletic, who have named Canada manager Jonathan Herdman as Toronto’s first choice in the hunt to replace Bob Bradley.
Mark Warburton is named as an alternative option for Toronto, who have also been linked with Forge FC boss Bobby Smyrniotis and D.C. United assistant Carl Robinson.
It’s being said that Toronto FC want their next manager to undergo a full rebuild of the squad in a potentially exciting move for Mark Warburton.
