The Canadian Soccer Association announced yesterday that coach Stephen Hart would be stepping down after their embarrassing crash out of the WCQ with an 8-1 loss to Honduras.
Stephen Hart had been doing a pretty nice job with Canada but if Jamaica can make the Hex with a bunch MLS guys then Canada should be able to make it with the talent that they have. Canadian presence in international leagues has grown and grown over the last decade without the National team seeming to greatly improve. And without being involved in the Rio 2014 it's going to be hard for Canada to get a top tier coach.
Via AP-TORONTO -- Stephen Hart has resigned as Canada soccer coach, two days after the team was eliminated from World Cup qualifying with an 8-1 loss at Honduras.
Canadian Soccer Association president Victor Montagliani announced Thursday that Hart had quit.
Canada needed a tie or win to advance to next year's six-nation finals in North and Central America and the Caribbean. The seven-goal loss was its largest margin since an 8-0 defeat at Mexico in 1993.
Hart was hired in December 2009. Including an interim stint in 2006-07, he managed Canada to a 20-15-10 record.
