FC Dallas has departed the United States as they work in preseason in Algarves, Portugal. Ryan Figert is there with the team while Garrett Melcer and Steve Davis hold down the fort in Dallas. Ryan gives us an update on the first couple of training sessions in Europe, including a pair of players who have stood out.

The crew then discusses the departure of Alan Velasco to Boca Juniors, which should be official any day now. They reflect on his tenure in Dallas, and ponder potential replacements for the Argentine.

Then it's the big feature of this episode: Ryan sat down with FC Dallas Chief Soccer Officer Andre Zanotta for his most extensive interview ever. Ryan and Andre talked the departures of Velasco, Paul Arriola, and Jesus Ferreira along with the recent additions to the squad. Andre breaks down the process of finding and signing new players in depth, while also giving a look at just what Dallas wants in players under new coach Eric Quill and much more.

The lads also get a chance to talk about Logan Farrington, who signed a new contract on Wednesday. We also get to hear from the Big Dog in Portugal shortly after completing the signing.

It's a jam packed episode of the Agenda, one that is a must listen for any FC Dallas fan.

The FC Dallas Agenda will publish every Wednesday as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network. The hosts of the FC Dallas Agenda are Ryan Figert, Garrett Melcer, and Steve Davis. The executive producer of the FC Dallas Radio Network is Sam Hale.
