Seamus McFadden to step down after 2017 season

The fleeting nature of careers in sports inevitably leads to a moment that most coaches and players hope comes later rather than sooner: retirement.

On Wed. March 15, a press conference was held in the Jenny Craig Pavilion to announce the future of University of San Diego men’s soccer head coach Seamus McFadden. At this conference, athletic director Bill McGillis revealed that McFadden will step down as head coach, effective on Jan. 1, 2018. The 2017 season will be the longtime coach’s last patrolling the Torero Stadium sideline. Brian Quinn, the current associate head coach, will take the reins from McFadden upon his retirement.
