MANAGEMENT TEAM

Kevin Payne: TFC’s first president and the general manager comes from D.C. United, where in his 17 years as boss, the club won 12 major trophies, including four MLS Cups and a CONCACAF Champions’ Cup. His mantra is culture change and raising players’ personal responsibility.

Ryan Nelsen: A rookie head coach with an abundance of playing experience — MLS, captaining New Zealand at the World Cup and, until last month, with QPR of the English Premier League. The 35-year-old vows that the Reds under him will be tough to play against and “never give up.”

Fran O’Leary: Nelsen’s first assistant and friend for more than a decade, O’Leary, 50, is a longtime U.S. college coach in his first MLS job.

Earl Cochrane: Original member of TFC’s front office, he worked with Payne at D.C. United. Named director of team and player operations.
