Across State Lines: Nagamura, Nielsen Out in Houston

Former Sporting Kansas City midfielder Paulo Nagamura, his assistant, former Sporting goalkeeper, Jimmy Nielsen, and former Sporting KC II assistant coach, Chris Martinez were all relieved of their duties as head coach and assistant coach for the Houston Dynamo on Monday. The Dynamo currently sit on the bottom on the MLS Western Conference on 29 points, amassing a 8-16-5 (W-L-D) record. One point behind the San Jose Earthquakes and Sporting KC. Nagamura and the rest of his staff had been hired less than a year ago by Houston General Manager, Pat Onstad. After a strong start where Houston had one loss in their first seven games (to KC), the Dynamo have won just two of their last 13 games.
