Gall returns as NTSC’s head coach after interim assistant role with FC Dallas
North Texas SC announced today that the club has signed head coach John Gall to a two-year contract extension through the 2026 season with a club option for 2027. John Gall’s completed coaching staff will be announced at a later time.
“I’m absolutely delighted to extend my time at my home club. It’s been quite the journey for me so far and the goal is as clear as always, 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 my value as a coach and I’m so appreciative of ownership and management for the trust they have in me.”
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.
“It is great to have John back with NTSC. He is a fantastic coach and was a pivotal part of our success last season as he laid the foundation for our championship season,” said North Texas SC General Manager Matt Denny. “The alignment and cohesion from academy to first team has never been stronger, this is going to be a great thing for the development of our players.”
A native of Merthyr, Wales, Gall joined the FC Dallas organization in 2015 as the FC Dallas Youth Boys Director of Coaching. In 2016, he transitioned to head coach of the U-12s Academy. In 2019 he won the Dallas Cup with the U-13s Academy. Gall was promoted to head coach of the U-19s in 2020.
