The University of San Francisco is mourning the loss of legendary head coach Steve Negoesco, who passed away Sunday evening at the age of 93. Negoesco was the architect of the USF Men's soccer dynasty that saw the Dons capture four national championships and 22 conference championships.
"Steve Negoesco leaves a legacy with the influence he has had as a coach, mentor, and friend," said Director of Athletics, Scott Sidwell. "We were blessed to have Steve guiding our programs on The Hilltop, where his quest for excellence inspired and motivated championship players and teams. Coach Negoesco truly lived his life to the fullest and was active with our university and his former players up until his final days. We mourn his passing, will miss him dearly, but will always be grateful for the countless lessons he has left for us. Coach Negoesco will live in all of us who were fortunate to be touched by his strong and guiding hand."
