Phil West and Moises Chiullan of Verde All Day also took a deep look into several Sporting Director profiles Austin FC could target as the club reshapes its soccer operations structure following the departure of Rodolfo Borrell.

As previously mentioned, the report states Austin FC is working with Excel Sports Management during the search process, while sources told Verde All Day that one sporting director and two coaches are already under consideration.

 Names discussed include: ⬇️
- Tim Bezbatchenko
- Corey Wray / Jaime McMillan
- Garth Lagerwey
- Neil McGuinness
- Chance Myers
- Oscar Pareja (dual SD/HC role)

One of the most interesting things mentioned was Austin potentially attempting to reunite Wilfried Nancy with former Columbus Crew executives Corey Wray and Jaime McMillan, figures heavily involved in successful MLS Cup winning projects in both Columbus and Toronto. Verde All Day noted that pairing proven front office leaders who already understand how to work together could help Austin get back on track FO sporting wise.

Garth Lagerwey was described as one of the most respected executives in MLS thanks to successful spells with Real Salt Lake, Seattle Sounders, and Atlanta United, while Neil McGuinness was highlighted for his recruitment and roster building work with Columbus Crew and LAFC.

Chance Myers was mentioned as a younger executive helping build Nashville SC’s current project, while Oscar Pareja’s name surfaced as a possible dual Sporting Director/Head Coach option because of his extensive MLS experience and success developing attacking talent such as Facundo Torres in Orlando.

Verde All Day also expressed doubts Austin FC wants to combine both positions under one person and questioned whether fans would accept another former FC Dallas coach.

The article also included an update that shortly after publication, Columbus Crew officially hired Tim Bezbatchenko as Sporting Director, taking one major name off the market almost immediately 👀

Which direction would YOU want Austin FC to go with the Sporting Director hire? ⬇️
