Utah State University Vice President and Director of Athletics Diana Sabau announced that head soccer coach Manny Martins has signed a contract extension through 2027. Under Martins’ leadership, the Aggie soccer program has seen unprecedented success, with a Mountain West title and multiple NCAA Tournament appearances. The team is currently ranked No. 25 in the United Soccer Coaches poll, with a record-breaking season in goals scored, assists, points, and shutouts. Martins has also seen academic success, with numerous players earning Scholar-Athlete and Academic All-Mountain West accolades. The Aggies are set to wrap up their regular season and prepare for the Mountain West Tournament in November.
Sabau praised Martins for his culture of winning and academic excellence, stating that the future of the Utah State soccer program is bright under his leadership. Martins expressed gratitude for the opportunity to continue coaching at Utah State and credited the university, donors, and community for their support. The team’s success under Martins has been credited to a strong defense that consistently allows less than a goal per game.
Fans can follow the Aggie soccer program on social media for updates on upcoming games and tournament play. The Aggies are set for a senior day game against Boise State before heading to the Mountain West Tournament in San Diego. With their remarkable season and Martins’ continued leadership, the future looks promising for Aggie soccer.
