Florida Polytechnic University has named Clay Roberts the first head coach of its men’s soccer program.
Roberts brings two decades of experience as a collegiate and professional coach. He previously served as the head men’s soccer coach at Southeastern University.
During his time at Southeastern University, Roberts became the program’s all-time winningest coach, leading the team to three Sun Conference tournament championships and four NAIA national tournament appearances.
In a statement after his hiring, Roberts stated, “There’s something special starting to happen and grow here. When athletics was being launched, I was really excited because it was a great opportunity to build out a program. In my career, I’ve come to be a builder in the early moments of new projects and seen success.”
The University’s inaugural season begins in August 2026.
