Omar Asad was named the fifth head men’s soccer coach at Wake Tech in January 2018 after serving as the assistant coach with the Eagles during the 2017 season.
After a standout high school career at Athens Drive Magnet High School in Raleigh, Asad continued his playing career at North Carolina State as a center forward. He completed a Business Administration degree with a concentration in Finance in 2012.
Asad also coaches at Wake Futbol Club since 2013 and has been an integral part of the success and growth of the club over the past few years.
"It's a dream come true,” said Asad. “I've always wanted an opportunity to coach at the college level and I couldn't think of a better place to start than Wake Tech."
Coach Asad is ready for the challenge ahead, he says, "Soccer is so competitive in North Carolina. I believe our soccer program can be a pipeline for talented student athletes to build on their skills and academics. I would like to see a number of our players graduate and transfer to four-year programs to continue their academic and playing careers."
