United assistant coach Davy Arnaud has accepted a role as an assistant coach for the Houston Dynamo coaching staff. The Texan native joins Dynamo head coach Wilmer Cabrera after spending his first full season as an assistant coach under D.C. United head coach Ben Olsen.
“A true professional, Davy continued his career with us as an incredibly hard-working and dedicated coach this season. Under Ben’s tutelage, he has quickly developed as a coach and Houston are gaining a great addition to their staff,” Dave Kasper, general manager and VP of soccer operations, said. “I know Davy will be a great asset for the Dynamo and we thank him for all of his contributions to our club the past 3 years.”
In his two seasons as a player with D.C., Arnaud made 54 appearances in the Black-and-Red midfield, scoring two goals and recording three assists.
Arnaud, who played for the Kansas City Wizards and Montreal Impact before United, is in the top ten of various MLS all-time records, including eighth in games played (351), tenth in minutes (28,471) and tied for seventh in starts (316). He is also the most fouled player in the history of MLS, drawing the referee’s whistle 746 times over his career.
