The 53-year-old from Vancouver takes over as Houston GM after eight years with Columbus Crew
Canadian Pat Onstad, who helped Houston win two MLS championships as a player, has returned to the Dynamo as general manager.
“There will be resources coming this off-season … I think when you see the salaries released at this time next year that you’ll be able to judge us and it will be significantly different from where we are today,” he told a news conference. The club also has high-profile minority investors in f NBA star James Harden and former boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
Onstad retired in 2010 after a 25-year playing career as an elite goalkeeper, joining D.C. United’s coaching staff the next year when he made a brief comeback as a player before returning to the sideline “These are the moments that whether it’s a general manager, a player, a coach, an owner, that you never forget, these moments where you can connect with the fans,” he said. “That was a moment that was very special to me and something I’ll never forget.”
Onstad joined the Crew in 2014 as an assistant coach on Gregg Berhalter’s staff and was promoted to technical director and vice president of soccer operations prior to the 2019 season after serving as interim GM after Berhalter left to coach the U.S. team.
