Toronto FC strike Jozy Altidore, right, is in his seventh season with Toronto, which signed him to a three-year contract extension in February, 2019.Toronto FC star striker Jozy Altidore remains in limbo as the MLS team returns to action after the international break.
Altidore has been on the outs with the club for some weeks. Apparently a confrontation with coach Chris Armas after being substituted in the 70th minute of a 1-0 loss to Orlando on May 22 was the last straw in what has at times been a volatile relationship. “You want every player to want to be part of the team, to be part of the city — it’s a beautiful city with great fans,” Curtis said. “We have an unbelievable stadium that we can’t wait to get back to.”
While the striker has spoken often about his affection for the club, city and its fans, he has butted heads with the front office in the past.In April, 2019, he accused club president Bill Manning of putting his ego ahead of player welfare by banning a valued trainer because of his association with Giovinco. A deal was soon struck to bring the trainer back into the fold and Altidore apologized.
Curtis said conversations continue with Altidore’s agent. But it seems clear the club wants to move on.
