Ahead of the official first press conference with Giovanni Savarese, the Timbers announced the technical staff of both the Timbers and T2 ahead of the 2018 season. In the announcement came some shuffling of current technical staff as well as the addition of staff that have joined the organization along with Savarese.
Joining Savarese on the first team technical staff are new assistant coach Carlos Llamosa and goalkeeping coach Guillermo “Memo” Valencia. Current assistant coach Sean McAuley keeps his position with the first team.
The shuffling of staff includes moving many first team incumbents down to hold primary staff positions with T2.
