Austin FC’s Big Rebuild Begins | MLS News

Austin FC is in full rebuild mode after firing head coach Nico Estévez and sporting director Rodolfo Borrell, bringing in Khaled El-Ahmad — the man who turned Minnesota United into playoff contenders — to steer the ship.

The club’s new CEO, Andy Loughnane, now oversees both soccer and business, setting the stage for a unified, high-ambition future.
