HOUSTON - The Houston Dash and assistant coach Eddie Robinson announced today that Robinson is leaving his role with the Dash to pursue other opportunities. Robinson will continue providing color commentary for local broadcasts of the Houston Dynamo when MLS regular season matches resume later this year.
“It has been an honor and pleasure to coach the tremendous athletes on the Dash the last two years, and I will be watching and supporting the Dash as they head to Utah for the NWSL Challenge Cup,” Robinson said. “I will be cheering hard for them to bring the cup back to Houston.”
“I can’t thank Eddie enough for his hard work and dedication to the team over the last two years,” Dash head coach James Clarkson said. “Both personally and professionally he has been a massive help to me as I made the transition into NWSL, and I wish him nothing but the best going forward.”
“From Eddie’s initial contributions to our Club when he helped bring two MLS Cup Championships to the city of Houston, to his most recent role as assistant coach for the Dash, Eddie has been an invaluable member of our organization and we wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors,” Dynamo and Dash president of business operations John Walker said.
The Dash kick off the NWSL Challenge Cup facing host Utah Royals FC on June 30 at 11:30 a.m. CDT.
