Houston (CBS Houston) – The Dynamo announced Tuesday that assistant coach Wade Barrett has been given the interim head coach title for the rest of the season.

Barrett has led the club to a pair of road draws since the mutual parting of ways with former head coach, Owen Coyle.

The players have been vocal in support of the sixth year assistant following both away performances that saw the Dynamo pick up a positive result for the first time on the road this season.

Barrett has seen the Dynamo at their pinnacle, being a member of the MLS Cup championship teams in both 2006 and 2007.

As an assistant Barrett has learned from both Coyle and former Dynamo head coach, Dominic Kinnear. In 2012, Barrett co-managed the Dynamo Reserves to a division title.

During Barrett’s playing days with the Dynamo, he was called upon 138 times, out of his 140 appearances, to wear the captain’s armband.

In addition to the MLS titles he has won, Barrett has capped twice for the United States national team, was an MLS all-star and a member of the MLS Best XI in 2002.

The Dynamo return to action on Wednesday, June 15 when they host San Antonio FC in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Next in MLS play, the Dynamo face DC United on Saturday, June 18 at BBVA Compass Stadium.
