It's been one week since we announced our new Head Coach and Sporting Director and we are still fired up! We have named Éamon Zayed to lead us in our first professional season!

"I am incredibly honored and excited to be named the first-ever Head Coach and Sporting Director of Corpus Christi as we prepare for our inaugural season in USL League One. I want to sincerely thank Dr. Kingsley for his unwavering belief in me and for entrusting me with this tremendous opportunity.

Corpus Christi will be a club that proudly reflects the identity, values, and rich traditions of this great city. I am fully committed to building something special- both on and off the pitch- that our community can truly be proud of." - Coach Éamon Zayed
