On 1 February 2008, Carver became head coach of Toronto FC, with previous coach, Mo Johnston, remaining as manager and director of soccer. He was thereby reunited with an old friend from Newcastle United, since Paul Winsper had been hired in January as strength and conditioning coach.
In April 2009, Carver was charged $750 by MLS for openly criticising the standard of refereeing during a 3�2 loss away to FC Dallas. He was absent from the bench during a 1�0 home win over Chivas USA four days later and eventually resigned on 25 April 2009, one day before the team's home clash with Kansas City Wizards.
