David Castillo

David Castillo enters his first season as head coach of the men's soccer program in 2025.


Castillo came to Hendrix after a successful tenure at Louisiana Christian University. Over his four seasons in Pineville, he became the all-time winningest coach in program history and led the Wildcats to back-to-back Red River Athletic Conference championships. In 2023, Louisiana Christian defeated LSU-Shreveport 1-0 to earn both the program's first conference championship and NAIA tournament berth. The Wildcats defeated Hope International in the first round of the NAIA tournament to claim the program's first-ever NAIA tournament win.


A year later, Castillo guided the Wildcats back to the conference tournament championship, defeating Xavier (La.) 2-0 to earn another NAIA tournament berth. Louisiana Christian would advance to the Round of 32 for the second-consecutive season after beating Hastings 1-0.


Castillo compiled a total record of 51-25-13 at LCU. The Wildcats were 33-119-10 in their 10 previous seasons prior to his arrival.


Before Louisiana Christian, Castillo served as an assistant women's soccer coach at Southeastern (Fla.) University, helping the Fire to an NAIA semifinal appearance in 2019. In that season, Castillo mentored five NAIA All-Americans, as well as the 2019 NAIA National Player of the Year, and helped the Fire finish the season ranked 4th in the final NAIA Coaches' Top 25 poll.


Castillo's coaching career began at his alma mater, Florida College, where he served on the coaching staffs of both the men's and women's soccer programs, including a two-year stint as the head women's coach and associate head coach of the men's program. Under his guidance, the women's program earned a number one overall national ranking in the USCAA poll and earned a berth to the USCAA National Championship Tournament. Castillo also helped guide the progams during their transition to the NAIA and the Southern States Athletic Conference.


Castillo was a four-year starter and two-year captain at Florida College, earning a USCAA All-American Honorable Mention nod in 2015.


He is originally from Riverview, Florida and earned a bachelor's degree in Educational Studies from Florida College in 2016. In 2023, he earned his MBA from Louisiana Christian in 2023. Castillo currently holds a UEFA B and a UEFA C license from the Scottish Football Association.
