John Herdman wants to remain as Canada coach through 2026

DOHA: John Herdman wants to remain as Canada’s coach through the 2026 World Cup in North America after leading the nation to their return to soccer’s top tournament. “Eleven years of work in this country and I’ve been pioneering for a long period of time, and you’ll not find anyone as passionate as I am about this program or about these players or about this staff,” Herdman said Wednesday. “You’ll not find one as passionate who wants to take the country to that next level.

Herdman, a 47-year-old from Britain, coached New Zealand’s women’s team from 2006-11 and Canada’s women from 2011-18, winning Olympic bronze medals in 2012 and 2016.

He took over the Canadian men in 2018 and led them to first place in qualifying in North and Central America and the Caribbean. Herdman was especially proud of the way Canada played against Belgium. “Thierry Henry told me this team played them off the park,” Herdman said of the former French star, now an assistant to Belgium coach Roberto Martinez.
