Ex-Canada Coach John Herdman Receives Official Admonishment in Drone Scandal

Former Canada national team coach John Herdman has defended his leadership following an independent investigation into the illegal use of drones to spy on opponents during preparations for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The inquiry concluded Herdman’s misconduct warranted a “letter of admonishment” under the Canada Soccer Disciplinary Code.

The investigation revealed that drones were deployed without authorization, prompting FIFA to impose a one-year ban on then-Olympic team coach Bev Priestman for her involvement.

At the time, Canada Soccer referred to the scandal as indicative of “an unacceptable culture” within the organization.

Herdman, who coached both Canada’s women’s and men’s teams during his tenure from 2011 to 2023, oversaw historic progress, including the men’s qualification for the 2022 World Cup—their second-ever appearance in the tournament.

Despite his achievements, Herdman resigned from his role with Major League Soccer’s Toronto FC in November 2024 as disciplinary proceedings began.

In a statement issued on Friday, Canada Soccer confirmed the outcome of its investigation: “Mr. Herdman was found to have committed misconduct under the Canada Soccer Disciplinary Code. The committee determined the appropriate sanction was a letter of admonishment.”

Herdman responded with gratitude for those who supported him and emphasized his commitment to integrity. “Throughout my career, I have led with transparency, respect, and a deep dedication to the game. I cooperated fully with the process, and while this has been challenging, I remain proud of what we achieved during my time with Canada Soccer,” he stated.

Sources close to Herdman view the outcome as a step toward restoring his reputation. Now 49, the England-born coach is reportedly eager to explore new opportunities and rebuild his career.
