‘We still have a job to do’: John Herdman staying put as Canada men’s soccer coach | CBC Sports

John Herdman is staying put.

After a morning of speculation fuelled by a New Zealand report that the Canada men’s soccer coach had agreed to take over the 105th-ranked All Whites, Herdman and Canada Soccer put out the fire with a statement.

Herdman says while he has received several jobs offers in recent months, including one from New Zealand Football, he has turned them down.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said. “We still have a job to do.”
