Nick Regan

Nick Regan enters his second season as head coach of the VMI men's soccer program.


During his first season as head coach, Regan led the program to multiple program career highs including the most goals scored in nine years, fewest SoCon goals conceded in 40 years, most shut-outs in 14 years, and the first win on Patchin Field in four years.


In addition to helping the team concede 45% fewer goals overall than the previous season.


Off the field, Regan oversaw a dramatic improvement in the program's APR rating and athlete retention.


Regan, an assistant coach for the Keydets during the 2021 Spring & Fall seasons, returned to the VMI sidelines after serving as the Director of the House Mountain Soccer Academy.


Prior to VMI, Regan was a tech executive for a company based in the Middle East for seven years, whilst in the region, he played for Israeli team Iron'i Modi'in.


Before his time in Israel, Regan played for Warner University in Lakes Wales, FL, following two-years playing at North Iowa Area Community College. Throughout his time in North Iowa, Regan helped the program achieve its first ever top 10 national ranking, and defensively achieve a program record low 11 goals conceded in the 2008 season.


This led Regan to being picked up by Major League Soccer side Orlando City S.C, U23's whom he signed for in the Summer of 2009 before returning to North Iowa a year later to complete his associates degree.


Prior to his move to the United States, Regan played semi-professionally for Fleet Town F.C in his native United Kingdom, and as a youth player, played in the illustrious FA Youth Cup.


Regan holds a 'National Diploma' Coaching License from United Soccer Coaches.


Regan earned a bachelor degree from DeVry University in 2012, and a masters degree from Purdue University in 2020.


He and his wife Rea, have one son, Asher (4).
