Arturo Rodriguez joined the IUPUI men's soccer staff in April 2022, coming to Indianapolis from Wright State where he coached alongside head coach Sid van Druenen. He was elevated to the program's top assistant just prior to the 2023 season as he'll assist in all facets of the program. 

Rodriguez’s first season at IUPUI was incredibly successful, with the highest goal scoring output in Jaguar Division I history, scoring 31 goals, while still being able to record the most clean sheets in over 10 years. This combination of offensive firepower and defensive steel helped lead the Jags to their highest ever Horizon League regular season finish and first ever Horizon League Tournament Championship appearance.

Rodriguez also played a large role in player development, helping lead a record-breaking year with 13 Jags represented with postseason awards, including the Horizon League Freshman of the Year, 2 Horizon League First Team members, and 1 Second Team member.

While at Wright State, Rodriguez helped the Raiders to a historic 2019 campaign as they recorded the program's sixth straight double-digit win total at 11-8-4 and win the Horizon League Championship. The Raiders then earned the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament win, defeating Notre Dame, before then playing No. 13 Michigan to a scoreless draw before falling in penalty kicks.

Rodriguez was born in Durango, Mexico, and was raised in Houston. He played for three years at Sterling College (Kan.) and was then an assistant coach for the program after graduating in 2017. He later served as an assistant coach for the Cincinnati Dutch Lions in USL 2 in 2019. Rodriguez currently holds a USSF D license.
