UConn men’s soccer has its new head man. Chris Gbandi, a former player and assistant for the Huskies, will replace Ray Reid as the ninth head coach in program history and the third since 1969, the school announced Friday.
“Chris Gbandi is one of the finest players in the history of our soccer program,” UConn athletic director David Benedict said in a press release. ”But that ability pales in comparison to his caliber as a person and leader of young men. Our men’s soccer program is rich in tradition, and a source of pride for our university community and the state of Connecticut.
