Special report on the Florida soccer team:
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida hired Tony Amato to lead the Gators soccer program, director of athletics Scott Stricklin announced Monday.
Amato gained a winning blend of maximizing talent, preparation and putting players in a position for success during his 18-year head coaching stops at Rollins, Stephen F. Austin and most recently, Arizona.
With a knack for renovating programs, Amato has returned two Division I programs to NCAA Tournament action. He’s also help guide student-athletes to all-conference, all-region and academic success.
In each of his three head coaching stops, Amato led programs to NCAA Tournament action.
