Appalachian State men’s soccer will have a new face leading the charge this fall with the hiring of the 12th head coach in school history, Jason O’Keefe, a 16-year coaching veteran who was most recently an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
App State director of athletics Doug Gillin announced the decision last Wednesday and the press conference for new coach O’Keefe was held that Thursday where he met the media and student athletes for the first time.
“This transition period has not been easy on anybody but the student athletes have handled it gracefully,” Gillin said.
