On Sunday, October 6, 2028, Austin FC Founder, Majority Owner and CEO Anthony Precourt, Sporting Director Rodolfo Borrell, and Head Coach Josh Wolff met and Coach Wolff was relieved of his position with the club.
“As the first manager in Club history, we would like to extend our gratitude for Josh’s role in the growth and development of our Club. It will always be appreciated,” said Precourt. “After back-to-back seasons without playoff qualification, we realize that a fresh start is required next season under the leadership of a new head coach.”
Borrell was announced as the Austin FC Sporting Director in June of 2023. He joined Austin FC following 28 years of experience working with some of the most prestigious soccer clubs in the world, including Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester City. Borrell oversees the Austin FC First Team, Austin FC II and the Austin FC Academy.
Austin FC hired Wolff as the first manager in Austin FC history on July 23, 2019. During the second season for Austin FC in 2022, Wolff led the team to a second-place regular-season finish in the Western Conference with a record of 16-8-10, capped by playoff victories at home versus Real Salt Lake and FC Dallas en route to the first Western Conference Final appearance in Club history.
After falling short of playoff qualification in 2021, 2023 and 2024, Wolff’s tenure with Austin FC concludes with a combined four-year record of 45 wins, 30 draws, and 60 losses in MLS regular season matches.
I had high hopes for Coach Wolff, but sadly the overall record after four years with Wolff wasn’t cutting it.
An interim manager will serve as head coach for the final 2024 regular season match for Austin FC.
Austin FC will close out the 2024 regular season at home against the Colorado Rapids at Q2 Stadium on Saturday, October 19.
