Vancouver FC removes interim tag, names Martin Nash head coach through 2027

By Canadian Press on January 14, 2026.

LANGLEY — Martin Nash is officially the head coach of Vancouver FC.

The Canadian Premier League club announced Nash’s promotion from interim head coach on Wednesday.

He will be at the helm through the 2027 season.

Martin Nash, the younger brother of Steve Nash, a Basketball Hall of Famer and co-owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps, guided Vancouver FC to a Canadian Championship final appearance against the Major League Soccer side in October.

That secured the club’s inaugural berth in this year’s CONCACAF Champions Cup, with a matchup against defending champions Cruz Azul in February.

In league competition, his guidance resulted in three wins and a six-match unbeaten run to conclude the season.
