MLS Canada Head Coach of the Men’s National Team to engage all 10 provincial soccer associations in cross-country tour in early 2025
Jesse Marsch will travel across the country hosting coaching workshops for provincial coaches in Canada. The goal of the events is to give local coaches opportunities to learn, share knowledge and network within the sport. Marsch will provide grassroots associations and their coaches with information on his game model with the Men’s National Team, his philosophies of football, and details on experiences from his career coaching at the top level of the sport in Europe and North America.
“I am really excited to travel across Canada and meet influential coaches in these various communities. We are eager, as the leadership of Canada Soccer, to share our ideas and unite the coaches in this country. This will be a series of interactive video and coaching sessions, and we are hopeful to get big attendance and participation.”
