Chris Megaloudis just wrapped up his second season as the lead assistant with the nationally-recognized Adelphi men's soccer program in 2023.

His debut season on the sidelines with the Panthers culminated in a trip to the NCAA Tournament -- the program's first appearance since 2019.

Shortly after wrapping up his professional career, Megaloudis joined the Nassau Community College women's soccer team as an assistant coach in 2012 and eventually carried the program to unprecedented heights.

In his five years (2017-21) as the head coach at Nassau, Megaloudis produced a 42-20-6 (.662) record and led the Lions to three NJCAA Region XV Championships, two NJCAA District titles and a pair of trips to the NJCAA Division III National Championship. He was named the NJCAA Region XV Coach of the Year following his debut campaign in 2017.

Megaloudis was signed by the New York Red Bulls in 2008 and spent nearly five years with the Puerto Rico National Team, scoring nine goals in national team competition and appearing in six CONCACAF World Cup qualifying matches.

After graduating from Monsignor McClancy High School in 2002 as the school's all-time leading scorer, Megaloudis played four seasons on the NCAA Division I circuit.

At his first stop, Megaloudis earned First Team All-MAAC and NSCAA All-Atlantic Region honors in 2003 for Saint Peter's University. Two years later, he was a First Team America East All-Conference selection and the team's leading goal-scorer at Stony Brook University.

A native of Astoria, Megaloudis is the coaching director of Auburndale Soccer Club in Bayside, Queens. He is also the cousin of former Adelphi men's soccer student-athlete, Stephen Megaloudis.

Megaloudis resides in North Bellmore, N.Y. with his wife, Kristine and daughter, Cristina.
