It came out last week that former Canadian international Pat Onstad was leaving DC United, where he was the club's keeper coach, and joining TFC.
At the time, it was suggested that he would be joining TFC as an assistant coach.
However, today TFC announced that Onstad will not be on the first team bench in 2013. Instead he will serve as the club's head scout and "Manager of football partnerships."

The latter position may cause some to scratch their head. What the club says is that Onstad will be "responsible for liaising and managing relationships with football clubs in Major League Soccer and internationally. He will also work with football agencies and foreign soccer development academies."
When you consider some of the slip ups/misunderstandings TFC has had in the past (DeRo's training at Celtic/Plata's loan situation) it might be a position that the club needs filled.
