The Austin Aztex are a soccer team based in Austin, Texas, United States. Founded in 2011, the team will play in the USL Premier Development League, the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid, beginning in the 2012 season.
The team was founded by David Markley, who was a minority owner for the original Austin Aztex.[1] He left the ownership group when majority owner Phil Rawlins chose to move the team to Orlando, Florida, renaming the team Orlando City S.C.
On November 16, 2011, the Aztex announced that former EPL, SPL, and MLS player Paul Dalglish would serve as head coach.[2] Dalglish is also soccer director for Dynamo Juniors, an Austin-area youth development academy affiliated with the Houston Dynamo, and will serve in both capacities during the Aztex's inaugural season.
In addition to the PDL team, the Aztex will field a Super-20 League team during the 2012 season.[3] The Super-20 League is a youth league within the USL pyramid.
