Background edit

Austin FC started playing in the MLS Western Conference in 2021, finishing in 12th place with a record of 9W-4D-21L.[1] 2022 brought many new experiences to Austin FC. They lost their first ever U.S. Open Cup match against San Antonio FC in extra time,[2] won their first trophy, the Copa Tejas, and qualified for their first-ever MLS Cup Playoffs in just their second season as a franchise.[3] Austin FC advanced to the Western Conference Finals but lost to LAFC.[4] Austin FC fell almost all the way to the bottom of the 2023 standings, with the team finishing in 27th place in Major League Soccer. The new sporting director Rodolfo Borrell was quoted as saying "The team overachieved last year, the team underachieved this year", but showed his support for coach Josh Wolff as the team looks to rebuild for the 2024 season.[5]

Summary edit

Pre-season edit

Austin FC ended the 2023 season with multiple players at the end of their contract. The front office made their first move by signing Ethan Finlay to a new one-year contract with an option for a second year at the end of October.[6] In addition to working on their roster Austin FC started making plans for their 2024 pre-season, announcing they would participate in the AEG sponsored Coachella Valley Invitational taking place February 4–17, 2024.[7] In mid-November 2023, Austin FC announced their initial roster changes for the 2024 season. Alexander Ring met his performance metrics and his contract was extended automatically through the 2024 season. Both Daniel Perreira's and Damian Las's options were exercised for 2024. Charlie Asensio, Will Bruin, Sofiane Djeffal, Kipp Keller, Adam Lundqvist, Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez, Rodney Redes, Memo Rodriguez, and Maximiliano Urruti options were all declined. Brandan Craig will return to the Philadelphia Union at the end of his loan.[8]

Austin started the month of December, by announcing they had exercised Hector Jiménez option for the 2024 season.[9] On December 11, 2023, Austin FC traded Nick Lima to the New England Revolution for $300,000 in GAM.[10] On December 14, Austin traded up for the first pick in the 2023 MLS Re-Entry Draft[11] and subsequently picked Jáder Obrian, who had previously played for FC Dallas.[12] On December 19, 2023, Austin FC chose Nate Jones from University of Washington with the 5th overall pick,[13] and subsequently traded him for $250,000 GAM and the 31st pick. Austin FC then picked Jimmy Farkarlun from UT Rio Grande Valley with that pick.[14] Austin FC signed Stefan Cleveland on December 24, 2023, as a free agent, bringing the roster up to four goalkeepers.[15]

On January 9, 2024, Austin FC announced they had traded Jhohan Romaña to the Argentine team San Lorenzo de Almagro[16] for $750,000.[17] The same day the team announced they had signed defender Guilherme Biro as a free agent. Biro spent the previous season with Brazilian team Mirassol.[18] On January 10, Austin FC announced the signing of their second homegrown player, Micah Burton. Burton was signed to Austin FC II for the 2023 MLS Next Pro season and has multiple appearances with the United States men's national under-17 soccer team.[19] The team reported for pre-season on January 13, 2024, and announced that Sebastián Driussi had obtained his green card and no longer would occupy an international spot on the roster.[20] On January 29, 2024, Austin FC announced they has signed Damian Las to new contract through the 2026 season, with an optional additional year. Austin FC also announced that Las would be loaned to Louisville City FC for the 2024 season.[21]

Austin FC started February off by adding another player to the roster when they announced the signing of Striker Diego Rubio as a free agent to a one year contract, with an option for a second.[22] On February 14 Austin FC announced that they had signed free agend defender Brendan Hines-Ike. Hines-Ike spent the last two seasons with D.C. United.[23]

February/March edit

Austin FC started the 2024 MLS season in the same manner they ended the 2023 season, with a poor first half, Austin dropped their first game to Minnesota United FC 2–1, with Guilherme Biro scoring a stoppage time goal.[24] On March 2, prior to their match against Seattle Sounders FC, Austin announced they had signed defender Salvatore Mazzaferro, defender Antonio Gomez, and midfielder Valentin Noël to a short term agreement.[25] In their second game of the season, Austin continued to struggle offensively, being outshot by the Sounders 9–0 in the first half, but stood strong defensively, earning a 0–0 draw.[26] On March 8, Austin FC announced they had signed defender Antonio Gomez to his second short-term agreement and Jimmy Farkarlun to his first short term agreement prior to the March 9 game against St. Louis City SC.[27] Returning to Q2 Stadium for their second home match of the season, Austin FC gave up a stoppage time goal letting St. Louis City SC tie up the game at 2–2, earning the draw.[28] Austin remained winless through the first four games of the season, earning a third draw against Philadelphia Union, with a 2–2 result that saw the return of Sebastian Driussi to the pitch.[29] Austin remained winless five matchees into the season after suffering a 2–0 loss to Orlando City SC in a game that only saw four shots, one of which is on goal.[30]

April/May edit

On April 6, Austin FC earned their second win of the season in a high scoring 4–3 win over San Jose Earthquakeson a stoppage time goal from Sebastián Driussi.[31] On April 14, Austin fell to St. Louis City SC 1–0 on the road.[32] On April 20, 2024, Austin got their first road win of the season on their first road goal of the season, beating Houston Dynamo 1–0 on an 86th minute goal by Emiliano Rigoni.[33] On April 26, Austin FC announced they had extended Žan Kolmanič's contract throught the 2025 season with an club–option for 2026.[34] Austin FC ended the month of April by shutting out LA Galaxy 2–0 at home on two first half goals, one from Diego Rubio, and one from Jáder Obrian.[35] Starting the month of May, Austin FC travelled to Canada to earn one point from the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a 0–0 draw.[36]
