Paul Leese
Head Coach Date Named: 2/19/14 • Head Coaching Experience: Seventh Season
Paul Leese is the third head coach in program history. 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.
2016 (UTRGV): In his second season at UTRGV, Leese stunned the WAC by not only guiding UTRGV to its first WAC Tournament berth, but by earning the No. 5 seed after being picked to finish 11th in the preseason coaches poll. Leese’s squad defeated eventual WAC Tournament Champion UNLV for the second year in a row and played eventual WAC Tournament runner up Air Force, which was receiving votes in the Top 25 polls, to a double overtime draw. UTRGV also picked up crticial road wins during WAC play, winning at WAC Tournament participant CSU Bakersfield, and then closing the season with a win at San José State. During non-conference play, UTRGV won the Marriott Houston Westchase Invitational by tying Fairfield and beating Georgia Southern at Houston Baptist. UTRGV jumped 26 spots in the RPI from 2015 and had its first-ever All-WAC selection, with Frederik Frankman earning All-WAC Second Team honors.
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 years along with their first-ever conference tournament championship. Overall, the Cobras went 58-24-12 (.681) under Leese, including a 31-15-5 (.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.
2015 (UTRGV): In his first season with UTRGV, Leese re-started an NCAA Division I program that hadn’t taken the field in 18 years, built a roster and produced several memorable moments despite having only one senior. UTRGV 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. UTRGV scored is 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. UTRGV 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.
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. 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.
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.
Leese began his coaching as an assistant coach at Elon University from 2001-02.
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 All-Conference 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 AllSoutheast 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
This past season, Leese led the Cobras to a 9-5-3 record, including a 6-4-1 mark in conference play. One of his forwards, Daniel Jackson, was selected by Real Salt Lake in the fourth round (70th overall) of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft, making him the first Coker player to ever get drafted.
Leese, and his wife, Janeane, have two sons, Aiden and Keiran.

2017 UTRGV Match Notes

Paul Leese
Head Coach Date Named: 2/19/14 • Head Coaching Experience: Seventh Season
Paul Leese is the third head coach in program history. 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.
2016 (UTRGV): In his second season at UTRGV, Leese stunned the WAC by not only guiding UTRGV to its first WAC Tournament berth, but by earning the No. 5 seed after being picked to finish 11th in the preseason coaches poll. Leese’s squad defeated eventual WAC Tournament Champion UNLV for the second year in a row and played eventual WAC Tournament runner up Air Force, which was receiving votes in the Top 25 polls, to a double overtime draw. UTRGV also picked up crticial road wins during WAC play, winning at WAC Tournament participant CSU Bakersfield, and then closing the season with a win at San José State. During non-conference play, UTRGV won the Marriott Houston Westchase Invitational by tying Fairfield and beating Georgia Southern at Houston Baptist. UTRGV jumped 26 spots in the RPI from 2015 and had its first-ever All-WAC selection, with Frederik Frankman earning All-WAC Second Team honors.
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 years along with their first-ever conference tournament championship. Overall, the Cobras went 58-24-12 (.681) under Leese, including a 31-15-5 (.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.
2015 (UTRGV): In his first season with UTRGV, Leese re-started an NCAA Division I program that hadn’t taken the field in 18 years, built a roster and produced several memorable moments despite having only one senior. UTRGV 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. UTRGV scored is 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. UTRGV 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.
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. 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.
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.
Leese began his coaching as an assistant coach at Elon University from 2001-02.
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 All-Conference 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 AllSoutheast 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.
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. 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.
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.
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.
This past season, Leese led the Cobras to a 9-5-3 record, including a 6-4-1 mark in conference play. One of his forwards, Daniel Jackson, was selected by Real Salt Lake in the fourth round (70th overall) of the Major League Soccer SuperDraft, making him the first Coker player to ever get drafted.
Leese, and his wife, Janeane, have two sons, Aiden and Keiran.
