Toronto manager Ryan Nelsen axed

Kiwi manager Ryan Nelsen has been fired by Major League Soccer side Toronto. The former centre back has been let go after a less than impressive run for the team.

Nelsen brought in the likes of Jermain Defoe since taking over at the club and after a 3-0 loss to New England Revolution, it has been decided to let go the coach.

Toronto currently lie in fourth place in the MLS.
