Stu Riddle has announced that he is stepping down as the head coach of the Northern Kentucky University men’s soccer program.
“We respect Coach Riddle’s decision and wish him well as he embarks on this next chapter of life,” said Ken Bothof, director of athletics. “Our men’s soccer program has all the attributes of a program poised for success – a storied history, a top-notch facility in NKU Soccer Stadium and devoted fan and alumni support. Combining those attributes with the culture within Northern Kentucky Athletics will undoubtedly be attractive as we navigate the hiring process.”
In five seasons as NKU’s head coach, Riddle’s Norse teams amassed a 37-36-5 overall record, which includes the 2020 Horizon League Regular-Season Championship in which he was named the league’s coach of the year. His teams are a combined 98-104-26 across his 13-year coaching career.
NKU will immediately commence a national search for its next men’s soccer head coach.
