Tom Anselmi, club owner: "John Carver has been added to serve as head coach of Toronto FC, which will enable Mo Johnson to devote more time to manage the assessment and procurement of talent which is even more important now with the expanded international player mix available for MLS teams."The team set two unwanted records, needing 558 minutes of action to score their first goal of the season, and later going 824 minutes without a goal.
Carver arrives in Canada three weeks after leaving financially-stricken League One club Luton in England.
There, Carver worked alongside Kevin Blackwell, but was sacked after joining his boss in serving notice of his resignation due to the problems at the club.
Carver, 43, began his coaching career with home town club Newcastle, stepping in as caretaker manager after Sir Bobby Robson was sacked in 2004.
He then moved to Leeds to work with Blackwell, turning down the chance to be a manager himself when Carlisle offered him a job. He would also manage Leeds in a caretaker role before following Blackwell to Luton.
