It’s become Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney’s trademark look during the 2019 MLS playoffs — an elegant scarf artfully tied around his neck.
He calls it a routine rather than superstition, but after three straight playoff wins he likes the ensemble. Vanney’s worn the scarf outside at Toronto’s BMO Field and New York’s Citi Field, as well as under the dome at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
One scarf, three post-season wins.
“I’m sticking with it,” Vanney said after Wednesday’s 2-1 win in Atlanta.
“I wore it in the first few games because it was cold,” Vanney explained.
