Toronto, which lost 2-1 at New England on Saturday, is 14th among 15 teams in the Eastern Conference with three wins, seven losses and 10 draws. The team has won just two of its last 17 matches in all competitions, drawing eight. Only Miami has a worse record with five runs, 13 losses and no draws.

The 65-year-old Bradley, a former U.S. national team coach whose son is Toronto captain Michael Bradley, was hired in November 2021 and led the team to 14 wins, 26 losses and 19 draws.

"Bob has been a consummate professional with Toronto FC and we thank him for his passion and tireless work during his time here," Toronto president Bill Manning said in a statement. "We are all disappointed that we were not able to achieve the results we expected."

Midfielder Federico Bernardeschi criticized Toronto's style of play after a 1-0 loss at Austin on May 20. Toronto was missing 10 players due to injuries or suspensions.
