"It was a soccer decision," O'Neill told ESPN about Singer's firing. "Ultimately, the results don't match the resources and the expectations. So, it's difficult to make these types of decisions, as you can imagine. But we want to see different results, and this is part of setting us up to do that."
Ustruck assisted with this week's long-term re-signing of center-back Paige Nielsen, who arrived in Houston earlier this year via trade with Angel City FC but was set to enter free agency when the window opens on Sunday. She is now signed with Houston through the 2028 season.
Houston has been operating without a GM since firing Alex Singer from the role in late July. Ustruck began working in a remote consulting role for the Dash earlier this month during the NWSL's secondary transfer window, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.
Houston Dash president Jessica O'Neill previously told ESPN that "October at the latest would be the goal" for a timeline to hire a new general manager.
