North Texas SC announced today that the club has signed head coach John Gall to a two-year contract through the 2026 season with a club option for 2027. Gall’s coaching staff will be announced at a later time.

Gall joined North Texas SC as an assistant coach for the 2023 campaign. He was promoted to interim head coach on July 17, 2023, and was officially named the club’s fourth head coach on Nov. 16, 2023. In 2024, Gall led North Texas to a 7-1-4 record before stepping in as interim assistant coach for FC Dallas on June 11, 2024.

“I’m absolutely delighted to extend my time at my home club. It’s been quite the journey for me and the goal is as clear: to develop players who are winners,” Gall said. “I am determined to keep pushing forward, to continue to grow and do all that I can for the players and the club. The experiences I gained last season from leading the second team and then assisting with the first team allows me to prove to myself and my value as a coach. I’m so appreciative of ownership and management for the trust they have in me.” 

For those wondering what happened to interim manager Michel, who led NTSC to a MLS NEXT Pro title in 2024. He was confirmed on Thursday by new FC Dallas head coach Eric Quill to be joining him with the first-team technical staff.
