Paul Leese
Head Coach Date Named: 2/19/14 • Head Coaching Experience: Seventh Season
Paul Leese is the third head coach in program history.
years along with their first-ever conference tournament championship.
2015 (UTRGV): In his first season with UTRGV, Leese re-started a program that hadn’t taken the field in 18 years, built a roster and produced several memorable moments despite having only one senior. The Vaqueros opened the season with a 3-0 win over Huston-Tillotson before playing a tough Buffalo team to a double overtime draw in a home tournament. The Vaqueros scored their biggest win on Oct. 4, knocking off defending WAC Tournament Champion UNLV, a team that was receiving votes in the Top 25 poll, 1-0 on the road. The Vaqueros also shocked CSU Bakersfield 3-0 toward the end of WAC play on Nov. 1. Leese developed a solid foundation for the program to build on, including freshman Isidro Martinez, who led the team with nine points on two goals and five assists.
Overall, the Cobras went 58-24-12 (.681) under Leese, including a 3115-5 (.657) mark in conference play. Leese’s squads also excelled in the classroom. His team improved in each of his four years at the helm and his last team posted a cumulative team grade point average of 3.09. Two student-athletes were selected to the 2011 Capital One All-America Team while junior goalkeeper James Sweeney earned conference Carolinas Scholar-Athlete of the Year and NSCAA Academic All-American honors. Career: Prior to taking the reigns at Coker, Leese was an assistant coach at Coastal Carolina University from 2006-09, where he was in charge of all phases of the men’s soccer program, including team coaching, player recruitment, budget management and travel coordination. In 2007 his team went undefeated in Big South Conference play to win the regular season championship.
2009-13 (Coker College): Leese had immediate and sustained success in five seasons at Coker College, leading the Cobras to the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championships in his first season before going on to win back-to-back conference championships in 2011 and 2012.
Before working at Coastal Carolina, Leese served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Furman University. From 2003-06, he oversaw all phases of the men’s soccer program, coaching current United States captain and Fulham/Seattle Sounders player Clint Dempsey, along with Shea Salinas of the San Jose Earthquakes and Jon Leathers, formerly of Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Despite not having any seniors, the 2011 team went 18-3-0, the second best winning percentage in the nation, including 10-1-0 in conference, en route to winning the first conference regular season and tournament championships in program history and a berth in the second round of the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Cobras hosted the NCAA Regional Championship for the first time in program history. The Cobras were ranked as high as No. 5 in the nation and No. 1 in the Southeast Region that season. Five student-athletes earned First Team AllConference honors, including Conference Carolinas Player of the Year Carlos Recinos, with an additional Cobra selected to the Second Team. Five student-athletes earned NSCAA First Team All-Southeast Region honors with freshman defender Fernando Bedoya also getting recognized as an NSCAA All-American. For his efforts, Leese earned his first Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year award.
Leese began his coaching as an assistant coach at Elon University from 2001-02. During his playing career, Leese earned Big South Rookie of the Year honors in 1997 while at Charleston Southern University. He then transferred to Furman University where he was part of the best team in school history, the 1999 squad that went 21-2-1 en route to an NCAA Quarterfinal appearance. Leese earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Furman in 2001, and earned a Masters in Business Administration from Elon in 2003.
The 2012 team finished 12-4-1, including 8-1-1 in conference play as Leese earned his second-straight Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year honors. That team boasted five First Team and two Third Team All-Conference selections. The Cobras also claimed the top conference honors with Player of the Year Niko Tirkkonen and Defensive Player of the Year James Sweeney. Along with their on-field success, Leese’s squad also placed six players on the Academic All-Conference team in and claimed the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the first time on program history.
Born in Liverpool, England, Leese graduated high school in Spain from Aloha College and played for C.D. Cultural de Marbella under the coaching tutelage of Jaime Molina. Leese was also a member of the 1999 British University National Team and enjoyed a professional career in the United Soccer League with the Greenville Lions and Carolina Dynamo. Leese has guided academy players in the School of Excellence at Chester F.C. in the English Second Division and represented Major League Soccer as a coach at camps throughout the United States. He was the color commentator for the Furman Sports Network broadcast of the NCAA Southern Conference Men’s and Women’s Soccer Championships in 2000 and has coached at the high school and youth levels in North and South Carolina.
This past season, Leese led the Cobras to a 9-5-3 record, including a 64-1 mark in conference play. One of his forwards, Daniel Jackson, was th selected by Real Salt Lake in the fourth round (70 overall) of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft, making him the first Coker player to ever get drafted. In 2010, Leese led the Cobras to back-to-back conference finals and the program’s first top-10 NCAA Southeast region ranking at the end of the season.
Leese continues to develop youth players in an educational environment as founder and director of ESB Soccer (Eat, Sleep, Breathe Soccer), hosting camps and clinics for high school and club organizations. Leese holds the NSCAA Premier Diploma, USSF Coaching License and the English F.A. Coaching Badge.
Upon his arrival as head coach in 2009, Leese brought instant success to Coker, taking a team that had gone 7-12-1 and finished ninth in the conference and leading them to their first winning season in over 20
Leese, and his wife, Janeane, have two sons, Aiden and Keiran.

Paul Leese
Head Coach Date Named: 2/19/14 • Head Coaching Experience: Seventh Season
Paul Leese is the third head coach in program history.
years along with their first-ever conference tournament championship.
2015 (UTRGV): In his first season with UTRGV, Leese re-started a program that hadn’t taken the field in 18 years, built a roster and produced several memorable moments despite having only one senior. The Vaqueros opened the season with a 3-0 win over Huston-Tillotson before playing a tough Buffalo team to a double overtime draw in a home tournament. The Vaqueros scored their biggest win on Oct. 4, knocking off defending WAC Tournament Champion UNLV, a team that was receiving votes in the Top 25 poll, 1-0 on the road. The Vaqueros also shocked CSU Bakersfield 3-0 toward the end of WAC play on Nov. 1. Leese developed a solid foundation for the program to build on, including freshman Isidro Martinez, who led the team with nine points on two goals and five assists.
Overall, the Cobras went 58-24-12 (.681) under Leese, including a 3115-5 (.657) mark in conference play. Leese’s squads also excelled in the classroom. His team improved in each of his four years at the helm and his last team posted a cumulative team grade point average of 3.09. Two student-athletes were selected to the 2011 Capital One All-America Team while junior goalkeeper James Sweeney earned conference Carolinas Scholar-Athlete of the Year and NSCAA Academic All-American honors. Career: Prior to taking the reigns at Coker, Leese was an assistant coach at Coastal Carolina University from 2006-09, where he was in charge of all phases of the men’s soccer program, including team coaching, player recruitment, budget management and travel coordination. In 2007 his team went undefeated in Big South Conference play to win the regular season championship.
2009-13 (Coker College): Leese had immediate and sustained success in five seasons at Coker College, leading the Cobras to the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championships in his first season before going on to win back-to-back conference championships in 2011 and 2012.
Before working at Coastal Carolina, Leese served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Furman University. From 2003-06, he oversaw all phases of the men’s soccer program, coaching current United States captain and Fulham/Seattle Sounders player Clint Dempsey, along with Shea Salinas of the San Jose Earthquakes and Jon Leathers, formerly of Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Despite not having any seniors, the 2011 team went 18-3-0, the second best winning percentage in the nation, including 10-1-0 in conference, en route to winning the first conference regular season and tournament championships in program history and a berth in the second round of the NCAA Division II Tournament. The Cobras hosted the NCAA Regional Championship for the first time in program history. The Cobras were ranked as high as No. 5 in the nation and No. 1 in the Southeast Region that season. Five student-athletes earned First Team AllConference honors, including Conference Carolinas Player of the Year Carlos Recinos, with an additional Cobra selected to the Second Team. Five student-athletes earned NSCAA First Team All-Southeast Region honors with freshman defender Fernando Bedoya also getting recognized as an NSCAA All-American. For his efforts, Leese earned his first Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year award.
Leese began his coaching as an assistant coach at Elon University from 2001-02. During his playing career, Leese earned Big South Rookie of the Year honors in 1997 while at Charleston Southern University. He then transferred to Furman University where he was part of the best team in school history, the 1999 squad that went 21-2-1 en route to an NCAA Quarterfinal appearance. Leese earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Furman in 2001, and earned a Masters in Business Administration from Elon in 2003.
The 2012 team finished 12-4-1, including 8-1-1 in conference play as Leese earned his second-straight Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year honors. That team boasted five First Team and two Third Team All-Conference selections. The Cobras also claimed the top conference honors with Player of the Year Niko Tirkkonen and Defensive Player of the Year James Sweeney. Along with their on-field success, Leese’s squad also placed six players on the Academic All-Conference team in and claimed the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the first time on program history.
Born in Liverpool, England, Leese graduated high school in Spain from Aloha College and played for C.D. Cultural de Marbella under the coaching tutelage of Jaime Molina. Leese was also a member of the 1999 British University National Team and enjoyed a professional career in the United Soccer League with the Greenville Lions and Carolina Dynamo. Leese has guided academy players in the School of Excellence at Chester F.C. in the English Second Division and represented Major League Soccer as a coach at camps throughout the United States. He was the color commentator for the Furman Sports Network broadcast of the NCAA Southern Conference Men’s and Women’s Soccer Championships in 2000 and has coached at the high school and youth levels in North and South Carolina.
This past season, Leese led the Cobras to a 9-5-3 record, including a 64-1 mark in conference play. One of his forwards, Daniel Jackson, was th selected by Real Salt Lake in the fourth round (70 overall) of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft, making him the first Coker player to ever get drafted. In 2010, Leese led the Cobras to back-to-back conference finals and the program’s first top-10 NCAA Southeast region ranking at the end of the season.
Leese continues to develop youth players in an educational environment as founder and director of ESB Soccer (Eat, Sleep, Breathe Soccer), hosting camps and clinics for high school and club organizations. Leese holds the NSCAA Premier Diploma, USSF Coaching License and the English F.A. Coaching Badge.
Upon his arrival as head coach in 2009, Leese brought instant success to Coker, taking a team that had gone 7-12-1 and finished ninth in the conference and leading them to their first winning season in over 20
Leese, and his wife, Janeane, have two sons, Aiden and Keiran.
