Houston fired Wilmer Cabrera in August before Davy Arnaud took over in an interim basis.
Ramos has been with the U.S. U-20 Men’s National Team as head coach since 2013. He led the team to three consecutive quarterfinals berths in World Cup play, while working with several young talent.
The 53-year-old has been linked with MLS positions in the past, but has remained with the U.S. U-20 team. Ramos also was a former USMNT player from 1988-2000, winning 81 caps.
Ramos would be taking over a Dynamo side who hasn’t been in the MLS Cup Playoffs since 2017. Although they lifted the 2018 U.S. Open Cup, the Dynamo struggled for consistency in league play this season.
