The date, time, and setting have been confirmed for the announcement of the next head coach of the Houston Dynamo FC first team.
Majority owner Ted Segal and general manager Pat Onstad will be on hand to present the sixth head coach in club history — expected, but not confirmed by the club, to be former D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen — on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at PNC Stadium.

The press conference will take place at 10:30 a.m. in the Lexus Club but will only be open to media and special invitees. A virtual media availability will follow the in-person press conference for out-of-state and international outlets.
It was a year ago tomorrow that Tab Ramos and the Dynamo officially parted ways; Paulo Nagamura was announced as his successor on Jan. 3, 2022, lasting just eight months before being dismissed, with Houston Dynamo 2 head coach Kenny Bundy serving as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Press conferences for important Houston Dynamo events are usually broadcasted through the team's Facebook or YouTube channels, although the club has yet to announce how the public can see the event. The Striker will be present to bring you coverage from PNC Stadium.
