On Saturday, Dunfield will be in charge of his 15th and final TFC game, running the sideline at the New York Red Bulls before former Canada coach John Herdman gets hands-on with the struggling MLS team ahead of the Oct. 21 season finale against visiting Orlando City.But while the losses have continued to mount, Dunfield has managed to keep his eye on possible light at the end of the TFC tunnel.

With an 0-12-4 road record this season, Toronto is the only MLS team yet to win away from home. TFC's last road victory was Aug. 27, 2022, a 2-0 decision in Charlotte. The Red Bulls (9-13-10) will be a motivated opponent. Going into weekend play, they sit three places and one point below the playoff line with two games remaining.

Dunfield finally saw his team's potential pay dividends Aug. 30 in a 3-1 win over the visiting Philadelphia Union, who currently sit fourth overall in the league 32 points ahead of Toronto. Toronto GM Jason Hernandez, who was promoted from assistant GM after Bradley's departure, acknowledges that TFC is a team in transition and"in many ways … missing pieces left and right."

Dunfield has coached at the TFC academy since January 2017 and served as a technical assistant and performance analyst with Canada Soccer since July 2019.Dunfield, who was five when he started playing soccer with Vancouver's Point Grey Soccer Club, moved to England to join Manchester City as a 14-year-old in 1996.
