Coach Josh Wolff was fired by Austin after missing the playoffs for the second straight year

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Coach Josh Wolff was fired by Austin after the team failed to reach the Major League Soccer playoffs for the second straight year. Wolff, a former striker and assistant coach for the U.S. men’s national team, was hired in 2019 shortly after MLS announced the club’s expansion, nearly two years before play began. He led Austin to the Western Conference finals in 2022. The team said Precourt and athletic director Rodolfo Borrell met with Wolff on Sunday morning to make the move.
