Carlos Bermudez Roa enters his second season as a student assistant coach for the men's soccer program in 2021.
Carlos arrived at Husson University in 2019, starting as a defensive midfielder and helping the men’s soccer team reach the semifinal round of the North Atlantic Conference Championship Tournament. Due to Carlos’ vast knowledge of the game and his experience playing and coaching in Europe, Coach Penny promoted Carlos as one of the team’s captains by the end of his maiden campaign. Due to persistent injuries, Carlos’ playing career came to a premature end, paving the way for him to continue his passion in coaching.
Carlos had a playing career spanning 15 years in Spain with five different clubs. During this time, he had the opportunity to play against some of Spain’s top Academy teams such as Atletico Madrid, Getafe, Rayo Vallecano, and Alcorcon.
As a coach, Carlos trained several teams between the ages of U-11 to U-15 in Spain for four years before moving to the U.S. The highlight of his coaching career came during one of three appearances at international tournaments where he guided his team to the semifinals and was named the top Spanish team after beating the 1994-95 English Premier League Champions - Blackburn Rovers Academy Team.
Upon graduation from Liceo Sorolla High School in Spain, Carlos immediately began working towards his coaching qualifications to fulfill his ambition and career objective of becoming a professional soccer coach. He currently holds a UEFA A Coaching License, which is one level shy of the UEFA Pro License which is necessary to coach in professional leagues around the world.
In addition to his role with the Husson men’s soccer team, Carlos is also the current Men’s High School Team Head Coach at Seacoast United. Carlos is working towards attaining his Sport Management degree at Husson. Carlos hails from Pozuelo de Alarcon, Madrid, Spain.
