About Danny Dichio

Daniele Salvatore Ernest Dichio (Italian: Daniele Salvatore Ernesto Dichio; born 19 October 1974) is an English retired professional footballer and the manager of Detroit City FC.

Dichio scored the first goal in Toronto FC history against the Chicago Fire on 12 May 2007. Later in that same game he became the first player in club history to be red-carded.

Following the firing of head coach Preki in September 2010, Nick Dasovic was named interim head coach, and Dichio became an assistant coach. With new management put in place during the off season-Aron Winter as head coach and Bob de Klerk as assistant-Dichio moved within the club and was named head coach of the TFC Academy U-18 team. Dichio replaced former coach Jason Bent, who was with the academy for three years before being promoted as Winter's second assistant. In 2021, he served as assistant coach with Toronto FC II and was also named to the coaching staff for the Canadian national team. He announced his departure from the Toronto FC organization after the 2021 season.

Dichio is also the Technical Director for Thornhill Soccer Club.
