MLS boss hopeful about soccer in Miami, says Toronto has right people at helm

TORONTO – MLS commissioner Don Garber says he is hopeful David Beckham can bring soccer back to Miami, although there is still work to be done on a home for the expansion team.

Garber says nothing can be done until a stadium plan is finalized in south Florida. But he says Beckham is a sound businessman and has great partners.

In his words: “We’re not there yet but we hope to be able to get there soon.”

Garber also says MLSE boss Tim Leiweke is the right man to fix Toronto FC, which has failed to make the playoffs in its seven-year history.

The commissioner says the Toronto franchise now has a “killer combination of people” at the helm.
