Storrs — UConn men's soccer coach Ray Reid has announced his retirement after leading the program for 25 years.

Reid recently completed his 33rd season as a head coach, holding the same position at Southern Connecticut State University from 1989-96. Reid has a career record of 457-149-78, which is the second-highest total in history among coaches at four-year institutions who have coached a minimum of five years in Division I.

"My time at UConn has been a fantastic experience both professionally and personally," Reid said in a statement. "Unfortunately, my mother and father continue to experience health challenges and I want to be there for them as much as possible. I've been blessed to work with great assistant coaches and fantastic players. I have also been afforded the opportunity to learn from and interact with some of the top coaches in the country on a daily basis here in Storrs.

"UConn Nation has always been good to me and our student-athletes and I want to thank everyone, including administrators, support staff and facilities staff, who have worked tirelessly to benefit UConn men's soccer. Finally, I would like to thank Tony Rizza and his family for their generosity and vision. The Rizza Performance Center is a state-of-the-art facility that benefits dozens of student-athletes every day and will serve as a driving force behind the continued success of UConn athletics."

Reid won four NCAA national championships, including the 2000 Division I National Championship while at UConn. He won Division II national titles at SCSU in 1990, 1992, and 1995. His teams captured 25 NCAA tournament berths and Reid retires with a 36-15-10 tournament record, including a 24-12-7 mark at UConn.

"On behalf of UConn Nation, I would like to express my gratitude to coach Reid for his 25 years as the leader of our men's soccer program," director of athletics David Benedict said. "Ray Reid is synonymous with UConn men's soccer and the program's tremendous achievements over the last 25 years can be directly attributed to coach Reid's dedication, expertise and passion.''
