Sergi Nus enters his second season on the UCLA men’s soccer staff in 2026, after being hired by head coach Ryan Jorden in February 2025.
In his first season in Westwood, Nus helped the Bruins earn their first Big Ten Championship by winning the Big Ten Conference Tournament. After a challenging non-conference slate, the Bruins won six of their final 10 matches of the 2026 season, including the final three regular-season matches, to earn a spot in the Big Ten Tournament. As the No. 4 seed in the tournament, the Bruins beat No. 1-ranked Maryland 2-0 in front of over 5,000 fans in the semifinal round before taking down Michigan 5-0 in the final, giving UCLA its first Big Ten Championship. Redshirt sophomore Sergi Solans Ormo tallied 16 goals and six assists, en route to second-team All-American honors. At the conclusion of the season, Tarun Karumanchi, Schinieder Mimy, Tre Wright were drafted in the MLS SuperDraft, while Solans Ormo signed a contract with Real Salt Lake.
Prior to UCLA, Nus served as an assistant coach at Oregon State for three seasons. During his three seasons at OSU, the Beavers made the NCAA Tournament three times, including a College Cup appearance in 2023.
"I am excited to join the best school in the country and contribute to the success of our student-athletes on and off the field," Nus said. "I am grateful to join this coaching staff and have the opportunity to learn from Coach Jorden. This is without a doubt the greatest brand of soccer in America, and I am excited to get started."
During his final season in Corvallis, Nus coached three MLS SuperDraft picks in Enzo Newman, Sergi Solans, and Armau Farnos, with Newman highlighting the group after being drafted 11th overall. Solans and Farnos were both named United Soccer Coaches All-Americans, while Nus coached nine All-WCC honorees during the 2024 season, which culminated in a third trip in three years to the NCAA Tournament.
His second season on the OSU bench saw the Beavers' best season in program history as Oregon State made its first-ever run to the College Cup in 2023. Overall, OSU went 11-6-5 on the year, and one four NCAA Tournament games before falling to Notre Dame in the semi-finals. Oregon State ended the season ranked No. 4 in the United Soccer Coaches poll, the highest end-of-season mark in program history.
The team results were matched by individual honors, as Logan Farrington was named Pac-12 Player of the Year. Farrington and Javier Armas were both selected as All-Americans, while Luis Castillo joined that duo on the All-Region Team. In total six Beavers earned All-Pac-12 recognition.
Nus also helped guide three Beavers to selection the MLS SuperDraft, highlighted by Farrington who was selected with the third overall pick.
During his first season with the Beavers in 2022, Nus helped guide Oregon State to the NCAA Tournament, in a campaign that featured five win over ranked opponents, including a road victory over No. 1 Washington. Midfielder Joran Gerbet was named Pac-12 Player of the Year, and Oregon State had seven All-Pac-12 honorees, including first-team selections Gerbet, Clarence Awoudor and Mouhameth Thiam.
Prior to coaching, Nus played professionally for South Georgia Tormenta FC of the USL.
A defender, Nus played his college soccer at Virginia. He was a two-time All-Region selection, as well as a two-time All-ACC honoree. He started every game of the 2016 and 2017 seasons for the Cavaliers, before missing the 2018 campaign due to injury.
A native of Barcelona, Spain, Nus graduated from Virginia with a degree in Media Studies, and also holds a Masters' degree from Duke.
