Marlon LeBlanc resigns from head role with WVU men’s soccer

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia men’s soccer coach Marlon LeBlanc has resigned from his position, effective Dec. 30. West Virginia University Director of Athletics Shane Lyons made the announcement Thursday.

“I want to thank Marlon for leading our men’s soccer program for the past 14 years,” Lyons said. “He took over a team when it was going through some tough times and guided it back to being a competitive program that performed well in the classroom and the community. We appreciate his work ethic and his accomplishments at West Virginia University.”

LeBlanc leaves with an all-time 138-100-34 record through 14 years at the helm. The Mountaineers ended the 2019 season with a 10-9-2 record and the Mid-American Conference title after an unimpressive conference season. Winning the title automatically put the Mountaineers in the NCAA tournament, marking LeBlanc’s sixth showing of his tenure. Further, LeBlanc has earned three conference coach of the year awards during his career at WVU.

A national search for his replacement has started.
