Aron Winter, Paul Mariner Set To Fill Toronto FC Front Office Vacancies

Winter is a product of Ajax and made 84 appearances with the Netherlands from 1987-2000. More recently, he’s been coaching for the lower-level Ajax teams. Ajax is renowned for being one of the top talent developers in the world and would likely bring a more attractive form of soccer than we generally see in MLS.

Regardless of which man feels which role, this is the first real imprint Jurgen Klinsmann has had on Toronto FC. The German legend was hired in November and has, presumably, been looking for the right men to lead TFC since then. Current interim technical director Earl Cochrane had been rumored to be hired full time, but this moves would indicate a much more ambitious way forward.
