NEWARK, Del. – University of Delaware men's soccer head coach Tommy McMenemy has announced the addition of Justin Makar to his staff as assistant coach.
Makar served alongside McMenemy on the University of Michigan men's soccer staff since 2014 as the program's director of operations and video coordinator. He was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the program including opponent scouting, postgame and training film analysis, individual player analysis, equipment, team travel, camp organization and promotion, training plans, match preparation and budget management.
During his time in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines advanced to the NCAA Tournament second round in 2017 and 2018 before earning a spot in the Sweet Sixteen in 2019. Michigan won the 2017 Big Ten regular season title, advanced to the conference tournament semifinals four times, and competed in the Big Ten Tournament championship match in 2018 and 2019.
Prior to his stint at Michigan, Makar spent four years on the Lafayette coaching staff, the first three as assistant coach/goalkeeping coach and the final year as first assistant and recruiting coordinator. The Leopards posted 27 shutouts during his four seasons in Easton and won the 2012 Patriot League championship.
Makar began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Susquehanna University from 2007-10, helping lead the River Hawks to the 2008 Landmark Conference title.
Makar was a four-year letterwinner at Susquehanna from 2003-06, earning second team All-Mid-Atlantic Conference honors in 2004 and 2005 before being named to the first team in 2006. He served as team captain as a senior and was a three-time All-Mid-Atlantic Conference Academic Team honoree. Makar graduated from Susquehanna in May, 2007 with a bachelor's degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing and a minor in economics.
"We are incredibly fortunate to have Justin Makar joining our coaching staff," McMenemy said. "Justin is an excellent coach who brings a wealth of soccer knowledge to the role. His attention to detail is unmatched and will give our program an edge in all areas from team organization to scouting and video analysis. Most importantly, Justin's character is of the highest order, and he brings integrity and class to everything he does. As such, he will be a great role model to the young men on our team. As happy as we are to have Justin on staff, we are equally excited to have his wife, Joci, and his children Jules and Jonah become wonderful additions to this great community at UD!"
