Club, Not League, Wanted Carver ‘Downstairs’

Former Toronto FC coach John Carver said that one of the reasons he quit was because MLS ordered him to return to the sidelines after spending a game coaching from a private box, but Toronto FC general manager Mo Johnston said it was Toronto management who made the request. “John wanted to sit upstairs, we wanted him to sit downstairs,” Johnston said after appointing assistant coach Chris Cummins interim head coach.
