Kwik Chat feat. Carlo Acquista Fordham University
Carlo Acquista, a New York Red Bulls scout and former head coach at Adelphi University and St. Francis College, was named the fifth head coach of the Fordham men’s soccer program on January 30, 2019 by Fordham director of athletics Dave Roach, and begins his second year at Fordham in 2020.
“We are thrilled to bring on Carlo Acquista to lead the men’s soccer program,” said Roach. “Carlo has extensive background in finding outstanding talent and bringing it to New York, whether it was for the Red Bulls, Adelphi, or St. Francis, and then develop that talent into winning programs. We hope he will continue that trend at Fordham and keep our program at the top of the Atlantic 10 Conference.”
“I am humbled and honored for this fantastic opportunity that has been presented to me here at Fordham University. My family and I could not be more thrilled to become part of the Rams family. I want to thank David Roach, Charlie Elwood, and the committee for their belief and trust I will continue with men’s soccer traditions,” said Acquista. “As a native New Yorker, I understand the history of Fordham University and the men’s soccer program. I am looking forward to continue instilling the core values of integrating academic and athletic experiences successfully in the Jesuit tradition. I will work diligently to recruit the talented student-athlete who will compete in the ultra-competitive Atlantic 10, as well as meeting and engaging our proud alumni, campus community, and fans.”
In his first season at Rose Hill, Acquista guided the Rams to the Atlantic 10 Championship semifinals, Fordham's fourth in a six-year span. The year saw Joergen Oland receive his second A-10 Defensive Player of the Year award, as well as First Team All-Atlantic 10 honors. He also garnered All-Region accolades from United Soccer Coaches and ECAC All-Star status. Additionally, Johnannes Pieles was selected as a CoSIDA Third Team Academic All-American, while Konstantin Weis earned a spot on the Atlantic 10 All-Championship team.
