Women’s Tennis Head Coach Per Nilsson has left Pepperdine. He announced his departure Oct. 29, according to Pepperdine Athletics.
After 11 seasons for the Waves, Nilsson is coaching the Gators as the Women’s Tennis head coach at the University of Florida.
“It has been a dream to work at Pepperdine,” Nilsson said. “Leaving this incredible place is nothing short of bittersweet. Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation I have for this school, the program and, most importantly, the incredible individuals I have had the privilege to work with.”
In 2014, Nilsson succeeded former Head Coach Gualberto Escudero, a now Pepperdine Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee (‘13).
