FC Dallas has appointed Eric Quill as their new head coach.
The 46-year-old will take over for interim coach Peter Luccin, who was appointed in June after the team fired Nico Estévez.
Dallas finished 11th in the 14-team MLS Western Conference in 2024, winning just 11 of 34 league games.
“I’m extremely excited and truly honored to get the opportunity to lead FC Dallas into the 2025 season and beyond,” Quill said following his appointment.
“This club has a rich history, values player development and prioritizes competitive excellence.”

The former midfielder enjoyed a 12-year playing career which was most notable for his spells at Tampa Bay Mutiny and Kansas City Wizards.
