Toronto FC working behind the scenes to ease Lorenzo Insigne’s transition to MLS

TORONTO - Lorenzo Insigne has already said goodbye to his legion of Napoli fans in his home finale. And Sunday, Napoli wraps up its Serie A season away to Spezia with a third-place finish guaranteed in the standings.

Toronto FC wait and watches. But the MLS club has been busy, preparing for Insigne’s arrival.

Toronto president Bill Manning says the Italian star forward, who is married with two sons, is expected in late June after international duty with Italy and a short break.

Toronto, which already had a sterling reputation for looking after its players off the field, hired Paola de Cristofaro as manager of player care in March to help ease the Insigne family’s transition to North America.
