UH soccer head coach Diego Bocanegra announces retirement

UH soccer head coach Diego Bocanegra announced Thursday that he will be retiring from college soccer after five seasons with the Cougars.

Bocanegra took the helm in 2017 after the program was coming off a painful skid of seasons but managed to finish with a 7-9-1 record to improve the hopes of turning the team around.

It wasn’t until the 2020-21 season where the work began to pay off, Bocanegra ended a decade-long draught of losing seasons when the team finished with a 6-4-1 record, showing a full turn around after four seasons.
