The UConn men’s soccer team released its 2022 schedule on Tuesday, as anticipation builds ahead of an exciting new chapter for the program. For the first time since 1997, Ray Reid is not walking through that door. After announcing his retirement in December, Reid has set up shop 10 miles down the road as technical director/interim head coach of Hartford Athletic, the Nutmeg State’s USL side.
In steps Chris Gbandi, a Husky legend in his own right, who led UConn to its 1999 title.
After a respectable yet injury-marred professional career, Gbandi entered the coaching ranks, serving as an assistant at UConn, Holy Cross, and Dartmouth, before taking the Northeastern gig in 2016.
