Nico Estevez Appointed as Austin FC Head Coach

Estevez, a former FC Dallas coach, takes over after Josh Wolff's dismissal following Austin FC's playoff misses.

Estevez will join Austin FC after completing his duties with the U.S. men's national team in November.
The 44-year-old Spaniard previously led FC Dallas to the MLS Cup Playoffs in 2022 and 2023.
Estevez replaces Josh Wolff, who was fired after Austin FC missed the playoffs for two consecutive seasons.
Estevez's familiarity with Texas and MLS experience were key factors in his hiring, according to Austin FC's sporting director.
Austin FC's preseason is set to begin on January 11, with Estevez's official introduction scheduled for a news conference on Tuesday.
