Minnesota United FC announced Tuesday that Sean McAuley will remain as the interim head coach entering into the 2024 season.

McAuley was named as the interim head coach with two matches remaining this season for Minnesota when Adrian Heath was fired. The club failed to qualify for the postseason after finishing with a 10-13-11 record (41 points).

The remaining coaching staff members of the Minnesota United also will continue in their roles during 2024, the team announced Tuesday.

“I am personally grateful for Sean’s leadership and his willingness to continue in this role,” Minnesota United CEO Shari Ballard said. “I have full confidence that he and our current staff are best positioned to successfully lead the team at this time given their collective coaching experience and familiarity with our players and club.”

McAuley, 51, previously spent two seasons as an assistant coach with Orlando City SC and the Portland Timbers.

Khaled El-Ahmad is scheduled to become chief soccer officer and sporting director in January, and he will be in charge of naming a permanent head coach.
