Austin FC II head coach Jason Shackell joins Jimmy Maas and Juan Diego Garcia for the pod. The former center back spent 17 years in the EFL Chanpionship and Premier League. After retirement, he decided to call Austin home and began coaching in the Austin FC academy. After being promoted to head coach of FC 2 this year, he’s guided that squad to the top spot in Group A of MLS Next Pro. The team only lost three times in 28 matches this season. Shackell talks about the second team’s playoff push, his playing career, his coaching influences, and why the move to Texas.
