Mo is an experienced coach and business professional who is widely respected throughout the DC soccer community. His dedication to player development and passion for the game align perfectly with our core values of intention, inclusion, collaboration, and community.

Over the past two years, our tournament portfolio has expanded with the addition of the Len Oliver 5v5 and the Rec All-Star Cup, while the District Cup has become one of the region’s premier events. Mo’s leadership will help take these initiatives to new heights and open the door to exciting new opportunities.

We’re especially proud to have promoted from within for this role. My thanks go to Director of Soccer Matt Arrington and Technical Director Edu de Souza for their leadership and for helping to build a coaching team that represents the very best of DC Soccer Club.”
