Bob Butehorn is entering his third season as the men’s soccer head coach at Florida Gulf Coast University. Butehorn has more than 18 years of coaching experience with NCAA Division I institutions.

In Butehorn’s first two seasons as the FGCU men’s soccer head coach, he has led the Eagles to an 14-20-3 record. The Eagles finished seventh in the A-Sun with a mark of 3-5-1 in both 2007 and 2008.

Butehorn joined FGCU after spending five seasons as an assistant coach for the men’s soccer program at the University of Pennsylvania. He was also the head coach at Division I St. Bonaventure University from 1995-99. Taking over a program that had won just two games the season prior to his arrival, Butehorn led the Bonnies to school records for most conference wins and most wins in a season. He coached three All-Conference players, including the only Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year in school history, and led the Bonnies to a 34-32-4 record during his tenure.

Prior to leading the Bonnies, Butehorn served six years as an assistant coach for the University of Maryland, where he was an integral part of the turnaround of that program, eventually guiding the Terps to NCAA Sweet Sixteen.

During his coaching career, Butehorn has served on the Atlantic-10 soccer committee, the NCAA Regional Selection Committee and the NSCAA Regional Ranking Committee for which he held the chairman position for two years. He is also a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and the United States Soccer Federation.

Butehorn has also coached numerous amateur players from the East Region as the Region I Festival Coach for the U.S. Soccer Federation. During his three-year tenure as a festival coach, Butehorn led the East squad to two gold medals and saw 12 of his players eventually join Major League Soccer teams.

His accreditations include a United States Soccer Federation "A" license and an U.S. Regional Soccer Clinician. Butehorn graduated from the University of Tampa in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in sports science/physical education. As a student-athlete at Tampa, he was a member of the soccer team that won the 1981 NCAA National Soccer Championship. Butehorn finished his graduate work and earned his Master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania.

Butehorn along with his wife, Cindy, and two daughters, Madison and Jessica, reside in Naples.
