Overview
- Austin FC, which announced the dismissals Monday, sits 13th in the Western Conference at 3-6-5 after 14 matches.
- The decision followed a 2-1 home loss to last-place Sporting Kansas City, days after a 5-0 defeat at San Diego that was the club’s worst.
- Assistant Davy Arnaud will coach Saturday at St. Louis City SC before MLS pauses nearly two months for the World Cup, with league play set to resume July 22.
- The club retained Excel Sports Management to lead searches for a new sporting director and head coach during the break.
- Owner Anthony Precourt said fans deserve a winner and called the move necessary, as the team recalibrates after big signings and an ACL injury to striker Brandon Vazquez.
