The UCLA men's soccer program has hired Sergi Nus as an assistant coach, it was announced on Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025, by head coach Ryan Jorden.
"I am very excited to add Sergi to our coaching staff," head coach Ryan Jorden said. "Sergi is well known and respected in our coaching circles and came highly recommended by those who have worked with him because of his work rate, recruiting drive, and relational ability. In the hours that we spent talking about the vision for UCLA soccer, it became clear to me that he would be the ideal fit for this position."
Most recently, Nus served as an assistant coach at Oregon State for three seasons before coming to Westwood. 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.
