Marshall Women’s Soccer coach Rafa Simoes announced the hiring of Ross Holland as Associate Head Coach.
Holland comes to Marshall from West Virginia University where he served as an assistant coach for the WVU men’s program over the last three years.
“Ross is an incredible asset to the program - not only on the soccer field, but to ensure we develop student-athletes with strong values,” Simoes said. “I am excited to have him on board as he will be an important piece to bring our vision to life.”
Holland helped lead WVU’s men’s program to the NCAA College Cup semifinals and a top-5 ranking in the 2023 season.
The Gateshead, England, native also has seen the ultimate success on the field as a player, winning a national championship with Simoes at the University of Charleston in 2017.
That on-field familiarity gives Simoes a trusted assistant and someone aligned with his coaching philosophy as he assembles his first staff as leader of the Thundering Herd.
“He has been a national champion as a student-athlete and a winner as a coach,” Simoes said. “I am really grateful to have him join the Marshall Women’s Soccer program.”
