Vamos Verde Season 2 Coming March 6

By: Jimmy Maas

Austin FC fans became familiar with what to expect on game day over the past 4 years.  But after not making the playoffs in 2024, the team has undergone big changes.

Gone is  Josh Wolff, the only coach fans have ever known. Gone are Sebastián Driussi and Alex Ring, the only two captains Austin FC have ever had. Gone is Gyasi Zardes, one of MLS’ all-time leading scorers.

In their place, the team hired new coach Nico Estévez and invested heavily in new talent including a US Men’s National team member Brandon Vázquez, and MLS Champion Ilie Sánchez. In this season of Vamos Verde Jimmy and Juan will explore all of the new, what it means for Austin’s football club and the culture surrounding it,  and how it fits in with the rituals the fans have come to know and love since the team’s inception.
