Houston Dynamo: Youth movement has worked before for Matt Jordan

Earlier this week, Houston sports radio host Glenn Davis revealed that Houston Dynamo Senior Vice President/General Manager Matt Jordan wanted the team to get “younger.”

It should come as no surprise that Jordan is looking to implement such a strategy, considering that the Dynamo attack benefited greatly from such a policy.

Mauro Manotas, 23, Houston’s top goalscorer from last season, joined the Dynamo in 2015 as a fresh-faced 19-year-old, and Alberth Elis, 22, who completed a permanent move last offseason, has become one of Major League Soccer’s most dynamic weapons.

Romell Quioto, Tomás Martínez, Ronaldo Peña and Memo Rodriguez make up the rest of the lively group, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are one of the best groups in the league.
