On January 18, the Dynamo made the most expensive signing in club history, signing Paraguayan striker Sebastián Ferreira from Club Libertad.[4] On March 2, the Dynamo made the highest-profile transfer in club history, signing Mexican international Héctor Herrera from Atlético Madrid to a pre-contract agreement.[5]
On September 5, with the team last in the Western Conference through 29 games and having just 2 wins in the last 13 games, Paulo Nagamura was fired as head coach. Dynamo 2 head coach Kenny Bundy was named interim head coach for the final 5 games, playing to a 2-2-1 record.[6] The Dynamo ended the season 13th in the conference, missing the playoffs for the 5th consecutive season and the 8th time in 9 years.
On the front office end, it was Ted Segal's second season (first full season) as majority owner and John Walker's fourth and final season as President of Business Operations. On June 14, Walker announced he would step down following the season.[7] On August 25, Ted Segal bought the remaining shares owned by Oscar De La Hoya, Gabriel Brener, and Ben Guill. Lyle Ayes also joined the ownership group[8]
