After four years as the assistant coach under former Post University Women's Soccer Head Coach Stephanie Demake, Renato Topalli took over the reins of the program heading into the 2023 season.

Topalli was a part of the coaching staff on an Eagles team that made gradual improvements in the previous three seasons, culminating in their highest single-season win total since 2015 last year with nine wins during the 2022 season and the third seed in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Tournament. 

While working as an assistant coach at Post, Topalli spent six years as the head coach of the Girl's Soccer team at Wilton High School, helping lead the Warriors to the FCIAC Finals in 2021 before a remarkable CIAC Class LL State Championship run saw 10-seeded Wilton go all the way to the championship match where they would tie nine-seeded Staples for the state title, 0-0. 

Before coming to Post as an assistant, Topalli also spent three seasons with conference rival Bridgeport University as an assistant coach from 2015-2017. 

Since 2013, Topalli has been involved in a number of roles with CT Rush Soccer, spending four years as the General Manager (2017-2021) and four years prior to that as the Director of Coaching (2013-2017) as well as Tournament Director, a position he has held since 2015. 

Topalli is a 2012 graduate of Central Connecticut State University with a bachelors in Business Management and earned his masters in general business education from Sacred Heart University in 2013.
