The Canadian press is all abuzz over this one. As first reported on the Twitter feed of RDS' Patrick Friolet, apparently former Impact head coach Jesse Marsch has an offer to become the boss at Toronto FC:
In case you don't speak French, here's the translation via Nick Sabetti, who covers the Impact and the Canadian national team for Goal.com:
And if that's not enough, CBC.ca contributor Ben Raycroft says that Marsch has also had talks with his old club, Chivas USA:

Payne, however, said in his introductory press conference that current TFC head coach Paul Mariner would stay on for the 2013 season.
“He is a person I have a lot of respect for, competed against for a number of years in the East when he was a key member of the success in New England,” Payne said.
