The arrival of Spanish playmaker [[Víctor Vázquez Solsona|Victor Vázquez]] in midfield at the beginning of the 2017 season saw less responsibility placed on the club's star forward [[Sebastian Giovinco]] and captain [[Michael Bradley (soccer)|Michael Bradley]] to create Toronto's goalscoring opportunities, and this in turn freed up the Italian, enabling him to focus more on his attacking game; furthermore, Greg Vanney's switch in tactics from a [[Formation (association football)#4.E2.80.934.E2.80.932|4–4–2]] [[Formation (association football)#4.E2.80.934.E2.80.932 diamond or 4.E2.80.931.E2.80.932.E2.80.931.E2.80.932|diamond]] to a [[Formation (association football)#3.E2.80.935.E2.80.932|3–5–2 formation]] benefitted Giovinco's and [[Jozy Altidore]]'s attacking partnership: by playing closer together, and with Vázquez now supporting them as the team's main creator, the attacking duo began to demonstrate a deeper understanding and an increased awareness of each other's movements, which improved their link-up play, and saw an increase in Altidore's goalscoring output throughout the season.<ref name="big read">{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/big-read-victor-vazquez-like-no-player-toronto-fc-history/|title=Big Read: Why Victor Vazquez is like no player in Toronto FC history|publisher=www.sportsnet.ca|author1=Kristina Rutherford|date=September 9, 2017|access-date=November 1, 2017}}</ref><ref name="magic">{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/toronto-fcs-giovinco-altidore-benefiting-playing-together/|title=Altidore, Giovinco making magic up front together for TFC|publisher=www.sportsnet.ca|author1=John Molinaro|date=May 3, 2017|access-date=November 1, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12096/11067868/sebastian-giovinco-on-his-love-for-toronto-fc-growing-up-in-turin-and-juventus|title=Sebastian Giovinco on his love for Toronto FC, growing up in Turin and Juventus|publisher=www.skysports.com|author1=Sebastian Giovinco|date=October 5, 2017|access-date=November 2, 2017}}</ref> On June 27, Toronto defeated Montreal 2–1 at home in the second leg of the [[2017 Canadian Championship]] final to capture the title for the second consecutive season, edging Montreal 3–2 on aggregate.<ref name=mem>{{cite web|url=http://www.canadasoccer.com/toronto-fc-repeat-as-canadian-champions-earn-berth-in-concacaf-champions-league-p160969|title=Toronto FC repeat as Canadian Champions; earn berth in CONCACAF Champions League|publisher=canadasoccer.com|date=June 27, 2017|access-date=June 27, 2017|archive-date=July 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731093836/http://www.canadasoccer.com/toronto-fc-repeat-as-canadian-champions-earn-berth-in-concacaf-champions-league-p160969|url-status=dead}}</ref> On September 30, 2017, Toronto FC captured the [[Supporters' Shield]] with a 4–2 home win over [[New York Red Bulls]], to clinch top of the league with the most points [[2017 Major League Soccer season|that season]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/09/30/kings-league-toronto-fc-win-first-supporters-shield|title=Kings of the League: Toronto FC win first Supporters' Shield|publisher=Major League Soccer|date=September 30, 2017}}</ref> On November 27, 2017, Vanney won the [[MLS Coach of the Year]] award.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2017/11/27/toronto-fcs-greg-vanney-named-2017-mls-coach-year|title=Toronto FC's Greg Vanney names 2017 MLS Coach of the Year|publisher=mlssoccer.com|date=November 27, 2017}}</ref> On December 9, 2017, Vanney led Toronto FC to [[2017 MLS Cup|MLS Cup]] victory in a 2–0 victory against Seattle.<ref name=mlscupwin>{{cite web |date=December 9, 2017 |title=Recap: Toronto FC vs Seattle Sounders |url=https://matchcenter.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2017-12-09-toronto-fc-vs-seattle-sounders-fc|publisher=mlssoccer.com |access-date=December 9, 2017}}</ref> Greg Vanney was also named [[CONCACAF Awards|CONCACAF Coach of the Year]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.concacaf.com/en/awards/news/2017-concacaf-award-winners-announced|title=2017 CONCACAF Award Winners Announced|publisher=concacaf.com|date=November 15, 2018|access-date=December 1, 2020|archive-date=January 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210110032158/https://www.concacaf.com/en/awards/news/2017-concacaf-award-winners-announced|url-status=dead}}</ref>
