# 2024 Austin FC season

The 2024 Austin FC season was the club's fourth season in Major League Soccer, the topflight of soccer in the United States. They play in the league's Western Conference.

## Background

Austin FC started playing in the MLS Western Conference in 2021, finishing in 12th place with a record of 9W-4D-21L. 2022 brought many new experiences to Austin FC. They lost their first ever U.S. Open Cup match against San Antonio FC in extra time, won their first trophy, the Copa Tejas, and qualified for their first-ever MLS Cup Playoffs in just their second season as a franchise. Austin FC advanced to the Western Conference Finals but lost to LAFC. Austin FC fell almost all the way to the bottom of the 2023 standings, with the team finishing in 27th place in Major League Soccer. The new sporting director Rodolfo Borrell was quoted as saying "The team overachieved last year, the team underachieved this year", but showed his support for coach Josh Wolff as the team looks to rebuild for the 2024 season.

## Summary
### Pre-season

Austin FC ended the 2023 season with multiple players at the end of their contract. The front office made their first move by signing Ethan Finlay to a new one-year contract with an option for a second year at the end of October. In addition to working on their roster Austin FC started making plans for their 2024 pre-season, announcing they would participate in the AEG sponsored Coachella Valley Invitational taking place February 4–17, 2024. In mid-November 2023, Austin FC announced their initial roster changes for the 2024 season. Alexander Ring met his performance metrics and his contract was extended automatically through the 2024 season. Both Daniel Perreira's and Damian Las's options were exercised for 2024. Charlie Asensio, Will Bruin, Sofiane Djeffal, Kipp Keller, Adam Lundqvist, Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez, Rodney Redes, Memo Rodriguez, and Maximiliano Urruti options were all declined. Brandan Craig will return to the Philadelphia Union at the end of his loan.
Austin started the month of December, by announcing they had exercised Hector Jiménez option for the 2024 season. On December 11, 2023, Austin FC traded Nick Lima to the New England Revolution for $300,000 in GAM. On December 14, Austin traded up for the first pick in the 2023 MLS Re-Entry Draft and subsequently picked Jáder Obrian, who had previously played for FC Dallas. On December 19, 2023, Austin FC chose Nate Jones from University of Washington with the 5th overall pick, and subsequently traded him for $250,000 GAM and the 31st pick. Austin FC then picked Jimmy Farkarlun from UT Rio Grande Valley with that pick. Austin FC signed Stefan Cleveland on December 24, 2023, as a free agent, bringing the roster up to four goalkeepers.
On January 9, 2024, Austin FC announced they had traded Jhohan Romaña to the Argentine team San Lorenzo de Almagro for $750,000. The same day the team announced they had signed defender Guilherme Biro as a free agent. Biro spent the previous season with Brazilian team Mirassol. On January 10, Austin FC announced the signing of their second homegrown player, Micah Burton. Burton was signed to Austin FC II for the 2023 MLS Next Pro season and has multiple appearances with the United States men's national under-17 soccer team. The team reported for pre-season on January 13, 2024, and announced that Sebastián Driussi had obtained his green card and no longer would occupy an international spot on the roster. On January 29, 2024, Austin FC announced they has signed Damian Las to new contract through the 2026 season, with an optional additional year. Austin FC also announced that Las would be loaned to Louisville City FC for the 2024 season.
Austin FC started February off by adding another player to the roster when they announced the signing of Striker Diego Rubio as a free agent to a one-year contract, with an option for a second. On February 14 Austin FC announced that they had signed free agend defender Brendan Hines-Ike. Hines-Ike spent the last two seasons with D.C. United.

### Slow Start - February / March

Austin FC started the 2024 MLS season in a lackluster loss Austin to Minnesota United FC 2–1, with Guilherme Biro salvaging a stoppage time goal. On March 2, Austin struggled offensively, being outshot by the Seattle Sounders 9–0 in the first half, but stood strong defensively, earning a 0–0 draw. Returning to Q2 Stadium for their second home match of the season, Austin FC gave up a 2–1 lead, allowing a stoppage time goal against St. Louis City letting their win slip through their fingers, then did the same thing the next week, earning another 2–2 draw, their third straight, this time against the Philadelphia Union. Sebastian Driussi made his first appearance of the season against the Union. Austin lost the next week to Orlando City 2–0. For the next game March 30, Austin ended the first stretch of the season on a high note, defeating in-state rival FC Dallas 2-1 for their first win of the season, with Diego Rubio netting the match-winner in the 70th minute.

### Springtime Surge - April / May

The Verde and Black took advantage of the win against Dallas, and followed it up winning a 4-3 thriller against the San Jose Earthquakes. Trailing 2-0 an hour into the match, Austin got three goals in the next 7 minutes - a penalty from Sebastian Driussi, Jáder Obrian's first goal with Austin, and a goal from Guilherme Biro. San Jose tied it in the 74th minute, but Driussi scored the match-winner 11 minutes into stoppage time on the last kick of the match, the latest goal in Austin FC's short history. Austin wasn't able to keep up the momentum at a road loss in St. Louis where they didn't register a shot on goal, but finally got their first road win of the season, beating the Houston Dynamo 1–0 on an 86th-minute goal by Emiliano Rigoni the next week. It was also their first road goal of the season. On April 26, Austin FC announced they had extended Žan Kolmanič's contract through the 2025 season with an club–option for 2026. El Tree finished April by shutting out LA Galaxy 2–0 at home on two first half goals, one from Diego Rubio, and another from Obrian.
Starting the month of May, Austin FC travelled to Canada to earn one point from the Vancouver Whitecaps FC in a 0–0 draw in the Whitecaps' 50th anniversary match, which set an MLS-era attendance record for them. In their third Copa Tejas match of the season, Austin FC fell behind FC Dallas in the fourth minute, eventually losing with a final score of 2–1. In their next Copa Tejas match of the season four days later, Austin FC scored another late goal against the Houston Dynamo, with Driussi netting the match-winner in the 87th minute. Three days after that, Austin FC took on Sporting Kansas City on May 18, earning a 3–2 victory at home on a brace by Obrian and team leading 5th goal by Driussi. Austin set a new home win streak record of 5 straight home wins. On May 21, Austin FC announced they had exercised their buyout option for Emiliano Rigoni, freeing up a DP, senior roster, and international slot all at once. Austin FC earned a 1–1 draw against San Jose, with center back Brendan Hines-Ike scoring his first goal for the club. Closing out May, Austin FC snapped their home win streak on what Coach Wolff described as a sloopy performance, falling 0–2 to the Portland Timbers. One day later, Austin announced they had signed Ghana-international winger Osman Bukari from Red Star Belgrade for a reported $7.5 million. Bukari will occupy a senior roster, designated player, and international player slot

### Adding Reinforcements and Leagues Cup - June / July

Austin ended the first half of the MLS season with their worst loss, falling 5–1 to Real Salt Lake on Chicho Arango's goal of the year candidate, leading to a hat-trick. Alex Ring added a consolation goal on a PK earned in extra time by Owen Wolff. After a two-week break, Austin FC returned to play against the Colorado Rapids and lost 2–0 on the road. Austin then mustered a draw against Los Angeles FC on a 19th-minute goal by Jáder Obrian, but Kei Kamara scored the equalizer in the 90th minute. It was Kamara's 145th MLS goal, putting him in a tie with Landon Donovan for second all-time. The Verde and Black got back in the win column with a 1–0 win against Minnesota United. Hassani Dotson received two yellow cards in a span of 40 seconds, and Austin capitalized when Diego Rubio scored his fourth goal of the campaign in the 31st minute. Austin FC was held to only two shots oh the road against Sporting KC, dropping all three points in a 2–0 loss. In their first match of July, Austin came from behind on a brace from Gyasi Zardes to earn a win at home against New York City FC. On a flat performance at home, Austin fell 1–0 to Seattle Sounders at home on a 63rd minute goal by, half-time sub, Jordan Morris. Going into their fifth Copa Tejas match of the year, Austin only needed a draw to earn their third straight title. FC Dallas proved to much at home, winning 3–1, after a Sebastián Driussi red card in the 60th minute. In their last match prior to the Leagues Cup, Austin earned a 2–2 draw against Charlotte FC on goals from Alex Ring and Joh Gallagher. Two of Austin's new signings saw their first minutes, with Osman Bukari starting, and Mikkel Desler coming in as a 2nd half sub.
After announcing the Bukari signing on May 30, Austin FC announced the signing of Danish defender Mikkel Desler as a free agent on June 3. Desler, having most recently played Toulouse FC, was signed to a three-and-a-half-year deal taking him through the 2027 season, with a one-year club option. Desler will occupy a senior and international slot on the roster. On June 24, the club announced the signing of CB and Ukrainian national Oleksandr Svatok from SC Dnipro-1. Bukari, Desler, and Svatok are set to join the team July 18 before the Leagues Cup. Ahead of their match versus Sporting KC, Austin FC announced they had signed Jimmy Farkarlun to an MLS contract for the remainder of the 2024 season, with options for the 2025 and 2026 season. On July 1, Austin FC announced they had agreed to mutually part ways with Moussa Djitté.
In their return to the Leagues Cup, Austin out on an impressive display, playing with just 10 men after losing Osman Bukari to a red card in the 34th minute. Austin earned their 3–2 win over Pumas on goals from Alex Ring, Gyasi Zares, and Sebasian Driussi. Four days later, Austin stuns Monterrey in a 2–0 victory in another impressive display, earning their way to the Round of 32. Goals were scored by Jáder Obrian and Dani Pereira. Austin FC travelled to BMO stadium to take on Los Angeles FC in the Round of 32 of the Leagues Cup. Though they put in a quality performance, they fell 2–0, ending their Leagues Cup run.

### Pushing for the playoffs - August/September

In their first MLS match after the summer break, Austin put in a strong performance, winning 2–0 at Geodis Park, bringing Nashville's losing sreak to 7 games. Goals were scored by Jon Gallagher and Osman Bukari's, who scored his first goal for Austin FC. With a thin chance of making the playoffs, Austin's flat performance against Vancouver FC made their chances even worse. Austin fell 1–0, in a home match that was a sub-par display by all players on the pitch. On the road again, Austin FC hoped to push closer to the playoffs, but fell 2–1 to Toronto FC at BMO Field. The lone goal score by Owen Wolff. For their third game on the road, Austin went to California to play Los Angeles FC, earning a 1–1 draw on a team leading goal by Jáder Obrian. Ending all bu the slimmest chances of making the playoffs, Austin fell 1–0 o Houston at home, missing 18 shots. Austin played Real Salt Lake to a first half 0–0 draw before falling behind by two in the 65th minutes. Late game substitutions brought increased intensity, but late goals by Obrian and Biro, earned Austin one point, keeping them mathematically capable of earning a spot in the playoffs. Austin prevented Portland from clinching their playoff slot, with a 1–0 win on a goal by Dani Pereira. The result ensured that Austin is still mathematically capable of earning a playoff spot. Austin went into Dignity Health Sports Park needing a win to stay in contention for the playoffs, but fell 2–1 to the Galaxy, their lone goal coming from Sebastián Driussi early in the second half. The loss officially eliminated Austin from the 2024 playoff race. Austin FC announced on October 6 that head coach Josh Wolff would be released. Austin scored two extra-time goals to earn an end of season 3–2 win against the Colorado Rapids, giving interim-coach Davy Arnaud his first win.
