Tony Amato, Arizona soccer players react to Paul Nagy’s departure

If you want to find the last time Paul Nagy wasn’t listed on Tony Amato’s coaching staff, you have to go all the way back to 2010.

And even then they were coaching at the same small school in central Florida.

Amato was the women’s soccer head coach at Rollins College, Nagy an assistant for the men’s team. Amato was then hired as the head coach at Stephen F. Austin and Nagy tagged along as his top assistant.

That arrangement continued when Arizona hired Amato and Nagy in 2013, the duo instantly turning a struggling program into a perennial NCAA Tournament contender.
