Head Men's Soccer Coach at University of San Diego Brian Quinn

Brian Quinn begins his second season as head coach of the San Diego men’s soccer team in 2019, and few men have impacted the sport in the city more than Quinn.
View Brian's Bio ⟩

Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Quinn moved to the United States in 1981 to play for the outdoor Los Angeles Aztecs, but it was in San Diego where he would soon make a significant mark. Quinn played on eight straight San Diego Sockers indoor championship teams when that collection of international personalities regularly filled the old San Diego Sports Arena.

Quinn earned his U.S. citizenship, shifted his playing focus to the outdoors and earned 48 caps for the United States national team. In all, Quinn played 16 professional seasons.

His playing days done, Quinn coached professionally in the Major Soccer League and locally at the highest youth levels. As the girls varsity coach at The Bishop’s Academy, Quinn led the Knights to San Diego Section high school titles.

Quinn spent 11 seasons as Seamus McFadden’s assistant at San Diego before being named the Toreros’ head coach. The two men switched roles with McFadden, San Diego’s head coach the previous 39 years, becoming Quinn’s assistant.

“He’s going to be fantastic,” said McFadden.

Across the past 12 seasons, the USD men’s soccer team has compiled an overall record of 109-92-33, including a 64-39-16 West Coast Conference mark. Over the past 10 seasons, the Toreros have won four WCC titles (2009, 2012, 2014, 2015), advancing to the Elite Eight in 2012.

Having coached at San Diego now for 12 seasons, Quinn feels a special connection to the university.

“I have an appreciation of what this university provides in respect to student-athletes,” he said.

He carries a deep belief in the university’s mission to develop students who serve in the community. When he was telling the team about a volunteer program working with students at nearby Montgomery Junior High, Quinn grabbed his USD shirt and told his players, “It’s all about the shirt and how we wear the shirt!”

“It’s a place where I feel like being a coach it’s more like a vocation,” Quinn said. “I want to leave USD a better place than when I started. You want to be influential with kids. Sometimes it’s with conversation. Sometimes it’s through action.”

Quinn doesn’t just tell his players how to play the game. He steps in and shows them. When the Toreros might be down a man during drills, the 59-year-old Quinn jumps in and fills the void.

"That's the love of the game," said Toreros striker Miguel Berry. "Where you just have to play."

"He's got the energy of a 5-year-old," said McFadden, who quickly corrected himself. "He's got the energy of a class of 5-year-olds. Not just one."

In 1997, Quinn became the youngest coach in Major Soccer League history. In 2013, he was inducted into the Indoor Soccer Hall of Fame and the Breitbard Hall of Fame, which honors San Diego sports.

Quinn is married to Sharon and the couple has six children – Nicola, Damien, Danielle, Cailin, Sinead and Aodhan. They have 12 grandchildren.
Assistant Men's Soccer Coach at University of San Diego Mike "Nico" Nicholson

Michael "Nico" Nicholson came to Alcalá Park after serving as an assistant coach to the University of California, San Diego women's soccer program from 1994-2005. During his stint with UCSD, the Tritons captured three NCAA Division II and three NCAA Division III national championships.
View Mike "Nico"'s Bio ⟩

From 2003-05, Nicholson was also the director of the Temecula/Murrieta Soccer Club and from 1998 to 2003, he acted as the Head Boy's Coach for the San Diego Surf. Many of the club teams at the Surf achieved Regional and State success and many of his players were placed on national teams. In 1994, he coached the Nomads Boy's Under 16 club that won a national championship. In addition to his tremendous wealth of coaching experience, Nicholson also spent time with the United Systems of Independent Soccer League, a men's semi-professional league. He played three seasons for the San Diego Top Guns from 1993-95 and guided his team to the Regional Finalists in 1994 and 1995.

Nicholson graduated from the University of Leeds in England, where he earned a degree in Sports Science in 1989. He captained his soccer team to the national finals in 1989 and his team won the national championship in 1986.
Assistant Coach Frankie Sanfilippo

A soccer veteran with a wealth of experience in the professional, collegiate and club game, Frankie Sanfilippo enters his third season with San Diego men’s soccer in 2023 as an assistant coach.
View Frankie's Bio ⟩

Sanfilippo helped orchestrated one of the best seasons in program history in 2023. After the Toreros were selected to finish seventh in the WCC Preseason Poll, USD went a perfect 6-0-1 in conference play to secure the WCC Championship and advance to its first NCAA appearance since 2014. San Diego lost just twice in its last 15 matches (8-2-5), and finished undefeated in WCC play for just the second time in program history (first since 2000). The Toreros outscored opponents 17-4 in WCC play. Sanfilippo helped guide the team to two All-Region selections, the WCC Defender of the Year, the WCC Co-Goalkeeper of the Year, the WCC Freshman of the Year, and 13 total All-WCC selections. Not surprisingly, USD earned United Soccer Coaches West Region Coaching Staff of the Year.

Sanfilippo joins the Toreros from Albion FC, where he coached from 2018 to early 2021. In his tenure with the club, he served as its General Manager/Director of Operations in addition to instructing the U-19 Developmental Academy teams. In 2019, he led the ’04 squad to the Fall NPSL 2019 Championship. While with Albion FC, Sanfilippo was the head coach for both the ’04 and ’06 MLS next teams.

Sanfilippo, a native of San Diego, California, attended San Jose State University, playing four seasons for the Spartans from 1999-2003 while earning a degree in Criminology. After his time at SJSU concluded, Sanfilippo put together a decorated professional career, playing for six different clubs from 2004-2016. A 2006 USL All-Star with the Rochester Rhinos, he won the 2012 NASL Championship with the Tampa Bay Rowdies, with whom he was named a team captain and made over 100 appearances.
