Claudio Reyna has stepped down as Sporting Director of Austin FC, albeit he will stay with the Major League Soccer club in a Technical Advisor role.

I take great pride in what we have accomplished but am looking forward to a less all-consuming work pace that still permits me to assist ongoing club development.

Technical Advisor, Austin FC

Head Coach Josh Wolff will serve as Austin FC's Chief Soccer Officer on an interim basis and lead Austin FC’s sporting department. Sean Rubio, who has served alongside Wolff and Reyna as Director of Player Personnel since August 2020, has been promoted to Interim Sporting Director as part of the restructuring.

Reyna joined Austin FC in late 2019, having spent six years as Sporting Director of New York City FC.

He said: “I take great pride in what we have accomplished but am looking forward to a less all-consuming work pace that still permits me to assist ongoing club development.”

Austin FC majority Owner and CEO Anthony Precourt added. “Josh is a tremendous leader and is without question one of the best coaches in North America. Working alongside Sean, whose talent and experience has been absolutely critical in our roster construction over the past two seasons, I have full faith that we have the people in place to continue to compete for trophies and make Austin proud.”

Austin FC are members of TransferRoom as part of Major League Soccer's league-wide deal on the platform, utilising world football's digital marketplace to sign Club Sporting Cristal's Washington Corozo in quick time after a Plus Pitch from the Peruvian side.
