The University of Hawaii at Hilo announced Jeffrey “Ziggy” Korytoski on Tuesday as its men’s soccer coach.
Korytoski has professional and collegiate coaching experience, serving two years as the Antigua Guatemala Futobol Club director tecnico/manager, two years at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Wright State as an assistant coach, a season as a St. Leo University assistant and Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands men’s and women’s national team head coach/technical director.
“I want to develop a culture of execution, consistency and winning where guys enjoy being a part of the program,” said Korytoski. “People are going to see the integrity in which we will play.
“Integrity was defined to me a long time ago as what you do when nobody else is watching. Whether it’s the small details on the field, being a good student or being an honest citizen, all these things are very important to me.”
The Vulcans finished the 2011 season 2-13-2 and ninth in the Pacific West Conference at 1-10-1 in coach Bryan Green’s second season.
Korytoski becomes the program’s fourth head coach since its start in 2006.
In 2001, Korytoski was head coach of Penn State women’s club soccer national championship team.
Korytoski played at Santa Rosa Junior College (Calif.) and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington before graduating from St. Leo University (Fla.) in 2008.
As a head coach on the professional level, Korytoski fashioned a 38-10-13 record leading Antigua GFO to three cups and promotion in the First Division Professional Soccer League.
