Chairman Anthony Precourt is thrilled, praising El-Ahmad’s global pedigree, talent-spotting ability, and data-driven mindset. New head coach Jim Curtin will report directly to him, setting the stage for a unified, championship-caliber vision. El-Ahmad sees Austin as a vibrant city ripe for a modern, identity-driven sports organization built on daily improvement — not just wins, but legacy.
