Leese took a HC position at D2 Lander last week:  https://landerbearcats.com/news/2026/2/11/paul-leese-named-head-mens-soccer-coach.aspx

Dude has bounced around, starting as a HC at D2 Coker in 2012, D1 UTex-Rio Grande Valley in 2015, then assistant at USL Championship New Mexico United in 2021, then *boom* Carthage in 2022.  Not surprising he would move back into scholarship NCAA soccer.

Chatham University's Keith Danley, the only men's soccer coach in the school's history since it started a program in 2019, has resigned.

Chatham Head Men's Soccer Coach Keith Danley has resigned from the program Vice President of Athletics and Recreation Leonard Trevino announced Wednesday morning.

"It was an honor to be able to start the men's soccer program at Chatham," Danley said. "I'd like to thank Leonard Trevino for giving me this opportunity in 2018. The last seven and a half years have been incredibly rewarding, and I am thankful for all the players and staff who have been a part of our team. I am excited to see the growth of the program in the years to come."

Danley was the first head coach of the men's soccer program at Chatham, coaching his first season in 2019. He ends with a 35-57-23 career record. The Cougars qualified for the PAC tournament three times during Danley's tenure, including two of the last three seasons.

"We thank Coach Danley for all his efforts in establishing and moving our program forward," Trevino said. "He has left us in a strong position. We wish him all the best. We will begin a national search immediately. It is our goal to become a nationally ranked program."

Danley is pursuing another opportunity at this point. Chatham will immediately begin a nationwide search for the next head men's soccer coach.
