The former Dynamo assistant coach Wade Barrett took over officially as the interim for the suddenly but not unexpected departure of former head coach Owen Coyle and has achieved results that had been expected but never materialized under the Scot. Almost immediately after Coyle left for greener pastures in Blackburn, Barrett indelibly put his mark on the club. The Houston Dynamo overnight transformed themselves from a porous defense to the best in Major League Soccer.
It was only fitting that the former Houston Dynamo captain who led his teams to two MLS Cup titles in their first two seasons would earn the club’s first road win of 2016 against his former mentor Dominic Kinnear.
