The 2019 Houston Dynamo season is the club's 14th season of existence since joining Major League Soccer in the 2006 season.[1] The Dynamo missed the playoffs in 2018, but they did win the 2018 US Open Cup, the first in club history. The Open Cup victory also qualified the Dynamo for the 2019 CONCACAF Champions League. It is the Dynamo's third year with Wilmer Cabrera as Head coach and fifth season under General Manager Matt Jordan.[2] On the front office end, it is Gabriel Brenner's fourth season as majority owner.[3] On November 1, 2018, John Walker was announced as the new President of Business Operations, replacing Chris Canetti who stepped down on October 26.[4][5]
