Plotkin joined Rileys staff at Notre Dame after spending the previous two seasons as a Dartmouth assistant coach. He was on the Big Green staff for each of the past two Ivy League championships during Dartmouths conference four-peat, which included a 12-3-1 mark and the 15th overall seed in the 2017 NCAA Division I Mens Soccer Championship.

In two seasons under Plotkins guidance, Dartmouths Wyatt Omsberg earned a pair of United Soccer Coaches All-America citations and doubled as the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year.

Jhojan Obando

Assistant Coach

Michigan

Division 1

Obando has been instrumental in producing some of the program's best goalkeepers. In 2019, he coached Andrew Verdi to Big Ten Goalkeeper of the Year honors and a school record for lowest goals-against average (0.78, minimum 1,000 minutes). After Verdi went down with an injury late in the season, Obando quickly installed freshman Owen Finnerty between the pipes. Finnerty played every minute of the final seven matches, which included runs to the Big Ten Tournament final and the NCAA Sweet 16. Between the two of them, U-M had 11 shutouts in 2019, most in a single season in school history. Four of the five spots behind Verdi on the school's all-time list for lowest GAA were coached by Obando, including Henry Mashburn (0.81 in 2018), Verdi (1.02 in 2017) and Evan Louro (1.05 in 2015).

With Obando's goalkeepers in net, U-M has set, then tied, the school record for fewest goals allowed in a season, conceding 18 goals in both 2018 and 2019. Four of the top seven defenses in program history -- as judged by goals-against average -- have come in the last five years under Obando's watch (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019). He's mentored 2012 All-Big Ten second-team honoree Adam Grinwis (formerly of Orlando City SC) and fellow program alum Evan Louro (formerly of the New York Red Bulls). 

A native of Colombia, Obando possesses a USSF National C License, as well as an NSCAA Level III goalkeeping certificate. He played in 44 career matches (42 starts) as a goalkeeper at Providence under the guidance of Chaka Daley as a student-athlete, helping the Friars to a 24-14-4 record and recording 13 shutouts. In 2010, Obando helped the Friars to the championship game of the Big East Tournament and was named to the All-Tournament Team.

Additionally, he was part of three Providence teams that made the NCAA Tournament. During the last two seasons, the Friars hosted an NCAA Tournament first-round match for the first times in school history, and advanced to the second round on each occasion. He was one of four goalkeepers invited to the 2012 adidas MLS Player Combine and most recently played for the Des Moines Menace in the Premier Development League.

WHAT THEYRE SAYING ABOUT COACH WILEMAN

 

I am so proud of Chase. We are happy for him and his family, but certainly sad to see him go. Coach Wileman is one of the best coaches I have ever worked with. He has been a huge part of our success here at Kentucky. His ability to help young men develop, not just into elite soccer players, but great people is second to none. His Ivy League experience, having been a big part of a nationally-competitive Dartmouth program, will be a huge asset at Brown. He is ready for this. I look forward to watching his success and wish Chase and Chelsea all the best. Johan Cedergren, Head Coach University of Kentucky

 

Exciting times are ahead for Brown men's soccer! Coach Wileman is an excellent coach and knows exactly what to do to build championship teams in the Ivy League. He has helped build and coach many NCAA tournament teams and won many conference championships. I have no doubt Brown will be competing for championships soon. Congrats to Coach Wileman and Brown soccer!" Chad Riley, Head Coach Notre Dame

 

I am delighted that Chase will have the opportunity to lead the historic mens soccer program at Brown University. In Chase, Brown has hired one of the most dedicated and talented coaches working in NCAA Division I. During his years at Dartmouth and Kentucky, Chase made a tremendous impact on the success of both programs, as well as a highly positive impact on the student-athletes that he has coached. I am excited to follow his progress at Brown and look forward to seeing their mens soccer program thrive under his leadership. Jeff Cook, Head Coach Penn State University

I feel extremely grateful and humbled to be selected to lead the Denison University men's soccer program as the next head coach, said Bianco.

I also want to acknowledge Rob Russo and Steven McCarthy for their dedication to the program and for leaving it on a solid foundation for the future. I'm so excited about the direction of our program and look forward to creating a transformative student-athlete experience for our players. The men's soccer program will strive for excellence in the classroom and on the field and will work extremely hard to achieve our ambitious goals. I know that we can accomplish special things in the men's soccer program, and I can't wait to get started working with our players.
