Bill Manning Parts Ways with MLSE

Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) has mutually agreed to part ways with Bill Manning, the President of Toronto FC and the Toronto Argonauts, citing the need for a new direction after a string of poor performances by the teams. Manning, who took on the roles in 2015 and 2018 respectively, oversaw a period of success but faced challenges recently with both clubs struggling in their respective leagues. Toronto FC's current slump includes six straight losses and being winless in nine games, prompting this decision. Following Manning's departure, Toronto FC General Manager Jason Hernandez and Toronto Argonauts General Manager Michael Clemons will now report directly to MLSE President Keith Pelley.
