Toronto FC says Javier Perez, who took over as interim head coach after Chris Armas was fired July 4, will remain in charge for the rest of the season.
The MLS club did not detail Perez’s future after that in a two-sentence statement Monday announcing it was removing the “interim” tag for the remainder of the 2021 season. Presumably the coaching job is his to win or lose.
Under Perez, Toronto has lost just once in seven games (2-1-4) heading into Saturday’s game against the visiting New England Revolution.
Still, Toronto has no place to go but up.
