TUCSON, Ariz. - FC Tucson announced today that former FC Tucson assistant coach John Galas has been named the Head Coach of FC Tucson effective immediately. Galas becomes the club's fifth-ever Head Coach and the second Head Coach in the team's professional era in USL League One.

"I'm looking forward to working closely with the technical staff and building our team here in Tucson that our community will be proud of. It is an absolute honor to be able to lead this team next season. This will be an exciting project that I am very much looking forward to,"

A familiar face in the Tucson community, Galas served as the Associate Head Coach for the University of Arizona Women's Soccer Team from 2007-2011.
