Toronto FC named Ali Curtis its new general manager Thursday, succeeding Tim Bezbatchenko.
The 40-year-old Curtis most recently served as sporting director for the New York Red Bulls. He left the New York-area team in June 2017.
Prior to that, he worked in the MLS league office for eight years and held the position of senior director of player relations and competition before joining the Red Bulls.
Toronto said Bezbatchenko left his role as Toronto’s senior vice-president of soccer operations and general manager to pursue another opportunity.
