Austin FC President Andy Loughnane said in an interview with KXAN that the team will hire over a hundred people by Spring 2021.
The team will hire 115 people by 2021, not including the players and coaches, Loughnane said. But there is no finite timeline on hiring a general manager and coach but they don’t plan on making the hires before Fall 2019 and possibly not until 2020.
“We will spend the next two-plus years building the team, so that means building the infrastructure — the stadium, a training facility — we will build our staff, we’ll build our supporter base, we’ll build our season ticket base, we’ll build our corporate partner base, we’ll build trust with the community,” Loughnane said.
