The regulations allow us to come home and train, those that are fully vaccinated, Manning told reporters Sunday from Orlando. So we will certainly take advantage of that. Look, it s been a long time. It s been a grind. We ve been here for months on end. So we re fairly pleased that the border restrictions have eased. So we ll be back on Thursday after the game against New England on Wednesday.
More work has to be done to get the green light for BMO Field. About playing the games, we re still in some discussions there. But everything seems to be headed in the right direction, said Manning. And so hopefully we ll have some good news on that end soon.
Under Armas, Toronto (1-8-2) has lost six straight and is winless in seven. Its defence is broken and it s clear that Armas bid to change the team s style of play, long established under former head coach Greg Vanney, to an aggressive pressing approach was an uncomfortable fit.
Assistant coach Javier Perez will lead the team Wednesday against New England on an interim basis. After Wednesday, Toronto does not play again until July 17 against Orlando City.
Club president Bill Manning, echoing the view of most fans, said the team had become very difficult to watch. Never more so than Saturday, which marked largest margin of defeat in club history.

Toronto FC fired head coach Chris Armas on Sunday, the team announced, less than six months after hiring him and one day after the most lopsided defeat in team history, 7-1 to D.C. United. When you saw the way our team conceded yesterday, we saw no way back, president Bill Manning said Sunday. . We are expecting this roster to play better than they are.
Armas, 48, was named head coach in mid-January after spending the previous three seasons leading the New York Red Bulls before being fired in September. But Toronto has opened the 2021 regular season 1-8-2 and is last in all of MLS with five points. Saturday s loss was the team s sixth in a row.
