The lack of announcements or clear direction regarding the coaching position has added to the suspense, with many eager to see how this pivotal decision will shape Toronto FC’s strategy for the upcoming season.

Insigne's Future in Question

Amid the search for a new head coach, Toronto FC is also navigating a potential exit for Lorenzo Insigne. Reports suggest that both the club and the player are open to parting ways this winter.

Insigne, who was signed with high expectations following his successful stint at Napoli and performances for the Italian national team, has struggled to make the desired impact at Toronto FC.

Injuries and age have hindered his ability to be the game-changing player the team hoped for when they brought him to the MLS.

The 33-year-old’s departure would not only allow Toronto FC to reduce their wage bill but also align with the club’s apparent shift towards developing younger talent.

Insigne's hefty salary has been a topic of discussion, and freeing up this financial commitment could enable the club to invest in younger players with significant potential, especially in Insigne’s position.

What Lies Ahead for Toronto FC

As the MLS preseason draws near, the coming week is expected to bring clarity regarding Toronto FC's head coach appointment and Insigne's status with the club.

Fans and stakeholders are closely watching to see if Insigne will attend preseason or if his exit will be finalized, marking the end of a chapter that began with great promise but did not deliver the expected results.

Toronto FC’s decision-making in these critical areas will be instrumental in shaping their 2025 campaign, as they aim to rejuvenate the squad and reestablish themselves among the top teams in the MLS.
