TORONTO — York United FC unveiled Benjamin Mora as its new head coach Tuesday, hoping his experience in the Mexican top flight and success in Malaysia will help lead the Toronto-based Canadian Premier League club up the standings.

The 44-year-old Mexican inherits a team fifth in the eight-team CPL standings at 3-4-1.

He succeeds former Canadian international Martin Nash, who was fired May 21 with the club sitting fifth at 2-3-1.
