Juan Carlos Amorós was named the Gotham FC head coach on November 1, 2022. The 38-year-old, Amorós, who last season led the Houston Dash as their interim head coach to a fourth-place finish and the team’s first-ever NWSL playoff appearance, has been signed by Gotham FC to a three-year contract.

Amorós brings a wealth of experience across global soccer to Gotham FC, having served as a head coach of clubs in the top leagues in Spain, England, and the U.S.  Prior to his stint in Houston, Amorós was coach of Real Betis Féminas from 2021 – 22 and led them to a club-record unbeaten streak in Spain’s top division. 

Before Real Betis, Amorós enjoyed enormous success as a coach in England. Over five years, he helped lead Tottenham Hotspur FC Women from the third tier in England to the FA Women’s Super League. In 2019, Tottenham was promoted to the Super League after finishing second in the second-division FA Women’s Championship League. He earned Manager of the Year honors that season, and won the same honor while coaching Tottenham Hotspur in the third-division FA Women’s National League.

In the 2022 NWSL season, Amorós began his tenure as interim head coach of the Houston Dash on July 16 with a 4-1 win over Chicago. He led Houston to a 6-3-2 record as the club earned the first playoff berth in its nine-year history.

Amorós holds a UEFA PRO license – the highest-level UEFA license attainable – and received a diploma in Football Management from the League Managers Association Institute of Leadership and High Performance. He has also participated in elite coaching courses with the Royal Spanish Football Federation, and in 2018 earned a Master of Business Administration from Autonomous University of Madrid.
