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.

Bianco is no stranger to Denison or the North Coast Athletic Conference. Prior to accepting the head coaching position at Case Western Reserve, he spent five years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Ohio Wesleyan.  A 2007 graduate, he was a four-year letter winner as a midfielder for a Battling Bishop squad that won three NCAC championships and advanced to the NCAA Division III Final Four.

As an assistant coach under legendary head coach Jay Martin, Ohio Wesleyan compiled a record of 91-14-20 with five conference titles.

Scott Martin

Assistant Coach

Pfeiffer

Division 2

Scott Martin is in his 4th season as the men's soccer assistant coach at Pfeiffer University.

With over a decade of coaching experience at the youth club ranks, he returns to the college game for the first time since 2015. Previously a member of John Keating's staff at Belmont Abbey College, Martin was a first-team assistant and led the reserve team program.

Martins's soccer career and exposure to the top levels of the game received a boost when he joined Total Football Analysis as a tactical analyst.

Since joining TFA in September 2019, he has made a meteoric climb to senior status, featuring in the magazine each month and working on many client projects, including for EPL, MLS, and A-League clubs.

In addition to coaching and Total Football Analysis content, Martin was also a Match Analyst for Vélez Club de Fútbol for three years, helping them earn promotion from the Spanish Tercera División to the Segunda División RFEF.

Martin is also a co-founder of The Football Legacy Magazine, which relives the performances of legendary teams through a tactical lens.

While playing philosophies and tactical systems are his soccer passions, it's supporting his players and helping them develop on and off the field that drives his coaching.

Martin believes that culture is the primary driver of performance, which requires close attention to leadership development, identifying internal motivations, and crafting a supportive, yet competitive environment.
