Jonathan Raj
Assistant Men's Soccer Coach - Fairfield University
Johnny Raj brings a wealth of collegiate coaching experience, player‑development expertise, and a proven ability to elevate young athletes to the Fairfield University men’s soccer staff. Now returning as an assistant coach, Raj enters this role with a strong reputation for developing technical, confident, and coachable players.
Raj rejoined Fairfield after serving as the Head Coach at the University of Mount Saint Vincent, where he led the Dolphins to an impressive 8‑5‑4 record and a six‑match unbeaten conference run that propelled them into the Skyline Conference Championship game. His squad finished 10th nationally in goals‑against average, reflecting his commitment to disciplined defending, organization, and player growth.
Before Mount Saint Vincent, Raj spent six seasons on the Fairfield University coaching staff (2017–2022). During his tenure, the Stags became one of the MAAC’s premier programs, winning the 2017 MAAC Regular Season and Tournament Championships, earning an NCAA Tournament berth, and securing back‑to‑back MAAC regular‑season titles. His ability to mentor student‑athletes and prepare players for high‑level competition helped fuel multiple standout seasons, including a win over nationally ranked UNC‑Wilmington.
Raj’s coaching career also includes time at the University of Bridgeport, where he contributed to the development of both field players and goalkeepers, reinforcing his versatility as a teacher of the game.
As a player, Raj was a four‑year standout at Fairfield University, earning three First Team All‑MAAC selections, two All‑Region honors, and a place on the Hermann Trophy Watchlist. He captained the Stags for three seasons and led the program to MAAC championships. His playing experience extends to the PDL, competing for the Chicago Fire, Reading United, and CFC Azul, where he served as captain. Internationally, Raj represented the New Zealand U‑20 National Team and spent time with Auckland City FC, winners of the Oceania Federation title and participants in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Known for his professionalism, leadership, and commitment to youth development, Raj brings an energetic and player‑focused coaching style that helps campers build confidence, improve fundamentals, and love the game.
