Under Tab Ramos, the Boys from Space City are looking forward
to a return to its old glory days, after losing in 2017 a shoot to league
finals, the Dynamo have not made it into the postseason in two consecutive seasons.
For a team that in its debut year won in back too back fashion
the league title in 2006 and 2007.
This time they are serious about displaying a winning season
under new manager Tab Ramos taking over the reins of interim Davy Arnaud who
took over Wilmer Cabrera who did not deliver as expected.
However, this is a new era in the helm of the Houston
Dynamo with former USMNT international Tab Ramos whom the club owners have deposited
their entire trust in building a total winner in BBVA Stadium.
After all, Tab Ramos has become this franchise sixth
manager and with a team that has built on the preseason with an important player
and making it into a serious contender, the odds of them making a decent run-in
2020 is somehow filled with a lot of optimism.
As the directives of this club going in the task of
building a winner and trying to look for a shoot in nabbing a spot the Western
Conference spot for the playoffs and from there looking for a possible run to
the conference finals.
I mean a bomb of a trade when the Orangemen top brass
went into the task of building that winner manager Ramos is seeking, still, for
the man in the helm, his focus is to build up this side with academy hopefuls
after having a successful SuperDraft.
So far the club went into a bold task of making a bomb
trade for a valuable player that for sure will uplift this club game for the
better, they gamble a move that they deposited their hopes in paying off dearly
in this and many other seasons to come.
By sending forward Marlon Hairston and $600,000 in
Allocation Money and the Dynamo will get Minnesota’s third-round draft in 2020
for the services of Darwin Quintero, this tells you a lot of the seriousness of
this club compromise with its fanbase.
In addition of the club getting players of the caliber of
former Timbers defender Zarek Valentin on trade with newcomer FC Nashville, defender
Victor Cabrera formerly with Montreal Impact, goalkeepers Marko Maric from
Lillestrom and Cody Cropper from Hartford Athletic.
Another smart move the Dynamo re-signed three of its
international players in Hondurans midfielder Boniek Garcia and defender Maynor
Figueroa and Salvadorian midfielder Darwin Ceres to new contracts.
For Tab Ramos this time will be his first managerial job
in a professional league after stints with the USMNT U-20 as a manager and
assistant, the man will have a full challenge ahead of making this club maintain
consistency in this squad winning ways.
Still, with a season where all the sides have managed to
get new faces and armed themselves arsenals in tier lineups, the Dynamo for
sure will have a very contested 2020 of these would like to make it into the
league postseason.
A finish in eleventh place will be the ideal for this
club and with a little luck and a turnaround these may be fighting for the last
spot that awards a postseason spot, but I have my doubts in the end.
