Building a successful soccer program from the ground up already merits a check mark on Paul Leese’s résumé.
He’ll now have an opportunity to do it again.
New Mexico United officially hired Leese on Friday to serve as both first-team assistant coach and head coach of the club’s academy program. NMU announced Leese’s signing and other coaching assignments for 2021 during a Zoom media call.
