Matt Micros enters his fifth season in 2022 and posts a 24-33-6 overall record at the helm. He is the third head coach in SHU's history.

In 2021, Micros led the Pioneers to its first NEC Semifinal since 2019 with a 6-3-1 slate against conference opponents. He coached four to All-NEC distinction, led by Julie Gallotto on First Team. Nichol Green, Anna Ludkiewicz and Grace O’Hara earned a spot on Second Team as well as an added All-Rookie distinction from O’Hara. 

The 2020-21 season was one like no other. Micros led the Pioneers through unprecedented circumstances as the COVID-19 pandemic forced a shortened spring season. SHU posted a 2-5-2 overall record and a 2-4-1 NEC mark and finished seventh. Micros coached Michelle Clarkin to a First Team All-NEC nod, as well as a Second Team All-NEC honor for Meadow Mancini. In addition, Sofia Germano was an All-Rookie honoree. 

Micros posted his most successful season at the helm in 2019 with a 9-8-2 overall mark, thanks to non-conference wins over Temple and Hartford. Against the NEC, Micros led Sacred Heart to a fourth-place finish with a 6-3-1 record which landed him his first postseason trip with the Pioneers. He also coached Michelle Clarkin to an NEC Rookie of the Year accolade which was the first in program history. Clarkin led a crop of four Pioneers who also earned All-NEC distinctions, as they all earned All-Rookie Team honors. Clarkin also earned a First Team nod while Azria Malloy and Meadow Mancini added Second Team laurels. 

During his first year as head coach in 2018, Micros posted a 5-13 overall record and 3-5 in conference play. He landed one Pioneer on the Second Team All-NEC list in Melanie DaSilva as the team finished seventh overall. 

Prior to arriving at SHU, Micros spent the past seven seasons as the head coach at Post University, his second stint as the Eagles head coach. Under his tutelage, the Eagles made six playoff appearances, three ECAC Tournament semifinals and won the ECAC in 2015. Micros was named the 2014 Coach of the Year in the CACC, leading the Eagles to the program's best record, 12-6-1.

In addition to his collegiate coaching, Micros is the co-owner and founder of the Connecticut Football Club. He directly oversees the United program and coached the nationally ranked U15 and U16 teams, totaling 11 Connecticut State Cup Championships. In addition, Micros coached his CFC squad to the National Semifinals in 2013.

The development of players that can excel at the next level has been paramount in the growth of CFC under Micros' leadership. In the last decade alone, 127 CFC players have signed to play at Division I schools including: Boston College, Clemson, Indiana, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Penn, Penn State, and West Virginia.

Micros served as the head coach of the Connecticut Olympic Development Program from 1997-2004, leading the team to a National Finals appearance in 2003. During that time, he coached numerous elite players, including Alyssa Naeher, a goalkeeper with the US Women's National Team.
