The Houston Dynamo have announced the hiring of Ben Olsen as the club’s new head coach. Olsen takes over for Paulo Nagamura, who was fired in the middle of the 2022 season. Kenny Bundy served as the interim head coach for the remainder of the schedule.
Olsen was previously the head coach of D.C. United from 2010-2020, winning 135 games across all competitions. United made the playoffs six times under Olsen and won the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in 2013. Olsen was named Major League Soccer Coach of the Year in 2014 after United finished with 59 points, atop the Eastern Conference.
