ABOUT THE WOLSTEINSThe annual Bert and Iris Wolstein Classic,

now in its 14th year, is named in honor of the

family that fi rst brought professional soccer

to Ohio in 1979. From 1979-1988, the late

been nothing short of generous. The most

BRIAN MAISONNEUVE HEAD COACH2ND SEASON, INDIANA ‘95

Brian Maisonneuve, a former member of the U.S. Na-

tional Team and Columbus Crew, was named head

men’s soccer coach at The Ohio State University April

23, 2018.

“We are fortunate to add Brian Maisonneuve to our

outstanding lineup of head coaches,” Gene Smith,

Ohio State Senior Vice President and Wolfe Founda-

tion Endowed Director of Athletics said. “He has com-

peted at a high level and coached in one of the most

successful collegiate programs nationally. We look

forward to the opportunities our student-athletes will

have under Brian’s direction.”

Maisonneuve was one of the top assistants in all of

college soccer at Indiana for the decade prior to him

taking over at Ohio State. Wherever Maisonneuve has

coached, success has followed. He helped guide the

Hoosiers to the 2012 NCAA National Championship, a

NCAA runner-up fi nish in 2017, the 2010 Big Ten Regu-

lar Season Title as well as the 2013 Big Ten Tourna-

ment Championship.

“First of all I want to thank Gene Smith, Shaun Richard

and the entire committee for giving me this incredible

opportunity to lead The Ohio State University men’s

soccer program,” Maisonneuve said the day he was

hired in Columbus. “My family and I are so excited to

get back to Columbus and join the Buckeye family.”

In all, Maisonneuve helped lead Indiana to eight

NCAA Tournament appearances, including two Col-

lege Cups and four NCAA Sweet 16 appearances. An

All-American during his playing days for the Hoosiers

(1991-94), Maisonneuve was part of Todd Yeagley’s

staff for nine years, coaching nine All-Americans as

well as 22 players who went on to play professional

soccer, including 14 in MLS.

“I also want to thank Todd Yeagley, Fred Glass and

the entire IU Athletics Department for my years in

Bloomington,” Maisonneuve said. “IU is a very special

place to me. I am so thankful and appreciative for my

time in Bloomington as a player and a coach. There

will always be a special place in my heart for the en-

tire Hoosier Nation.”

“I am excited to get to work and continue to grow

the Ohio State program into one of the elite soccer

programs in the country. John [Bluem] did a great job

over the last 21 years and I am so honored for this op-

portunity. This is an incredible athletics department

with tremendous resources.”

Maisonneuve, who replaces John Bluem (retired

in March of 2018), was named the NSCAA Assistant

Coach of the Year for the Great Lakes Region in 2012

and 2015. In 2016, Maisonneuve was named one of

the Top 12 assistants in the nation for the third-con-

secutive year and fi fth time in his career. From 2010-

17, the Hoosiers had 21 players named fi rst team All-

Big Ten and 50 student-athletes earn Big Ten honors.

IU players also earned nine conference player of the

year accolades in that time. The Hoosiers excelled in

the classroom, compiling 102 Academic All-Big Ten

honors.

“Our search committee conducted a very thorough

national search and during that process, Brian Mai-

sonneuve’s name continued to come up,” Shaun Rich-

ard, associate AD, sport administration, said. “His ex-

perience as a player at the highest level, working with

a national championship program as a coach and his

high character and core values as a person made him

the perfect fi t for our program. I’m excited to work

with Brian moving forward to execute his vision for

Ohio State men’s soccer.”

Prior to his return to Bloomington, Maisonneuve was

on staff at the University of Louisville from 2008-09.

During his two seasons, the Cardinals were 24-11-4

overall and 13-7-1 in Big East play with two NCAA Tour-

nament appearances.

Maisonneuve spent four years as an assistant coach

with the U.S. U-17 National Team in Florida. He also

served as an assistant coach for the U.S. U-20 Na-

tional Team in 2007 during the CONCACAF qualifi ca-

tion process and coached the U-20s in the 2007 FIFA

World Cup in Canada.

Before joining the coaching ranks, Maisonneuve had

a decorated playing career. He spent nine seasons

with the Columbus Crew from 1996-2004 and was a

member of the United States’ 1998 World Cup team,

appearing in all three matches. He also was a mem-

ber of the 1996 U.S. Olympic team, leading the squad

with a pair of goals in the tournament.

Maisonneuve, a native of Warren, Mich., is one of the

top players in Indiana soccer history. Playing along-

side Todd Yeagley, under legendary coach Jerry

Yeagley, he earned All-America honors as a junior

and senior and was named the Hermann Trophy win-

ner in 1994. A two-time Big Ten Player of the Year,

Maisonneuve fi nished his career with 44 goals and

22 assists and led Indiana to a pair of NCAA College

Cup appearances and back-to-back Big Ten regular

season titles. During his four years at Indiana the

Hoosiers were 73-15-7. He also was a four-time All-

Big Ten selection and three-time Academic All-Big Ten

selection. Maisonneuve earned his bachelor’s degree

from Indiana.

“The City of Columbus has always been like a second

home for Diania and me. We can’t wait to get back

and get started.”

Maisonneuve and his wife Diania have two children,

Jacob and Emma.
