The Canadian Premier League Coach of the Year award has been awarded since the inaugural 2019 season to a Canadian Premier League head coach. The award is given to the coach who receives the most votes from each head coach and one assistant coach from all the participating teams. It is awarded annually at the Canadian Premier League Awards ceremony.
Initially the award was based on the entire Canadian Premier League season, including the playoffs.[1] In 2022, a change was made to all CPL awards so that they are only judged based on results from the regular season.[2]
Bobby Smyrniotis and Tommy Wheeldon Jr., the current head coaches of Forge FC and Cavalry FC respectively, have won the most awards with two titles each. The only coach who won the award, while also winning the Canadian Premier League championship is Pa-Modou Kah, who led Pacific FC to their first league championship in 2021.
