The clubs want to share their knowledge in the field of scouting, training and education. “The conversations we had with PSV left a great impression,” said Austin FC technical director Claudio Reyna. “Soccer in America is developing rapidly,” continues the American international 112 times. “PSV are aware of this and I am convinced that the club can benefit from this collaboration.”
