Bryan Green joined the Cardinals as the associate head coach after being named to the position by head coach John Michael Hayden on Feb. 7, 2019.
The 2021 season saw Green help the Cardinals to the program’s first ever ACC Atlantic Division title. Louisville finished with a 10-7-1 overall record and a 5-3-0 mark in conference play. The Cards earned an at-large bid and a home match in the NCAA Tournament. Louisville ranked as one of the top scoring teams in the country, finishing with the program’s highest goal total in 11 seasons. Aboubacar Camara and Pedro Fonseca each earned First Team All-ACC honors, while Sander Roed was a Third Team and All-ACC Freshman Team selection. Camara’s 13 goals were tied for the third-most in program history. Fonseca was later selected by Real Salt Lake in the second round of the MLS SuperDraft.
Green helped Louisville to a 5-8-1 mark during the 2020 season, a year split between the fall and spring semesters due to COVID-19. Battling injuries, UofL went just 1-6-1 during the fall portion of the season, but rebounded in the spring and posted a 4-2-0 record and finished second in the ACC Atlantic Division. The Cardinals capped off the spring season with a 2-1 victory over No. 1 Clemson in the regular season finale. Elijah Amo and Pedro Fonseca were each named to the All-ACC teams, while Aboubacar Camara was the conference's leading scorer during the spring and earned All-Freshman laurels. Amo (Real Salt Lake) and Lamine Conte (New York Red Bulls) were both selected in the MLS SuperDraft in January of 2021, and Jake Gelnovatch inked a professional deal with USL Championship club Memphis 901 FC.
In his first season at Louisville, Green helped the Cardinals produce a 10-8-2 record and earn a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals earned a pair of NCAA wins, including an upset of No. 14 UC Davis. Under Green’s offense, Cherif Dieye was nationally ranked in nearly every offensive category en route to being named All-ACC Second Team and a United Soccer Coaches All-South Region Second Team. Dieye became UofL's 23rd player chosen all-time in the MLS SuperDraft and the seventh player to be drafted in the first round.
Green came to Louisville after spending five seasons as the head coach at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn. While at Belmont, Green guided the Bruins through two conference changes and led the program to their first postseason win in the Southern Conference and the first overall since 2008. Green produced eight All-Freshman conference team selections, three All-Conference selections, and one Freshman of the Year recipient.
Prior to Belmont, Green coached for Drexel University. Starting as the first assistant in 2010, Green was promoted to associate head coach in 2012. Green helped guide the Dragons to their first Colonial Athletic Association Tournament championship in 2013, the same season they were also regular season champions. Green also assisted in earning the program back-to-back NCAA Championship bids in 2012 and 2013, the program’s first bids in 40 years.
Prior to Drexel, Green played an integral part of the coaching staff at West Virginia from 2003-10, where he was the first assistant and recruiting coordinator. Green helped direct the program to three consecutive NCAA Championship bids from 2005-07 and four consecutive top 30-ranked recruiting classes from 2006-09. Green was a part of the 2006 Big East Coaching Staff of the Year, which was awarded to the Mountaineers staff after a Big East regular season championship title and runner-up finish in the Big East Tournament.
Keystone College gave Green his first head coaching opportunity, where he guided the Giants for three seasons from 2000-02. While in charge, Green lead the program to their first NJCAA Region XIX regular season title and advanced to the Region XIX tournament championship game. His 2002 team was ranked as high as No. 2 nationally.
