FRISCO, Texas — FC Dallas head coach Luchi Gonzalez sports a different look as his sits down to discuss his team’s 2019 season. Instead of the sartorial style he displays on game day, Gonzalez wears sweat pants and a long-sleeve warmup shirt on a cold day at Toyota Stadium. Gonzalez has spent the Fridays since losing to the Seattle Sounders in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs refereeing intra-squad matches, and it’s the final training session of the year.
Gonzalez came into the FC Dallas job in December, 2018, taking over for Oscar Pareja, who left for Liga MX outfit Club Tijuana.
