Goalkeeping Coach

On March 24, 2020, Kansas City Head Men’s Soccer Coach Ryan Pore announced the hiring of 2019 Roo graduate Errico as an assistant and goalkeeping coach. Filippo Errico enters his seventh year with men's soccer in 2026, having also assisted with the women's soccer team for two seasons. A former Kansas City goalkeeping legend, Errico's name is scattered across the Roo record books in saves, minutes played and clean sheets.

Kansas City maintained its momentum in the 2025 season, going 12-4-5 and claiming a Summit League Regular Season co-Championship. The Roos opened the season with back-to-back games against ranked opponents, drawing with No. 5 SMU and defeating No. 24 Missouri State. Kansas City was undefeated on its home turf, going 7-0-3 at Durwood Soccer Stadium. That included the biggest home win in program history, a 1-0 victory over Lindenwood in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in front of a sold-out crowd. The Roos were ranked as high as No. 18 in the United Soccer Coaches polls, finishing the season ranked No. 25.

2024 was one of the best seasons in program history - the Roos went 14-5-3, tallying a program record for most wins in a season. Kansas City was clutch on the road, picking up nine wins away from home, another program record. In addition, program records were set for total goals (56) and total assists (60). Julien Le Bourdoulous went for a single-season record 12 assists, while Elie Kisoka finished with a single-season record with 33 points (12 goals, nine assists). Kansas City finished the year with a top-five scoring offense (2.55 goals per game) and were ranked No. 18 in the final United Soccer Coaches poll of the year.

The Roos started the '24 season 6-2-3 and picked up their first ranked win of the year on Oct. 12, taking down No. 3 Denver, 1-0, for the program's first ranked win since 2008. KC remained hot through the rest of Summit League play, qualifying as the #2 seed to the Summit League Championship game, using a 90th-minute game winner from the foot of Kisoka to clinch the first NCAA Tournament bid since 2008. Kansas City claimed the title as the best team in Missouri in the first two rounds of the national tournament, taking down Saint Louis in the first round before a win over #15 Missouri State in the second round. The miracle run came to an end in extra time against second-seeded Pittsburgh in the Round of 16.

During 2023, KC Men's Soccer went 4-8-6 with a 2-3-3 mark in league play. Season highlights included a 2-1 win over Creighton on Sep. 12, the first win over the Bluejays since 2008, and a Summit League Semifinal PK win over No. 23 Denver, becoming the first team to ever eliminate the Pioneers in the semifinal round.

Throughout the 2023 season across both men's and women's soccer, Errico's goalkeeping units earned three Summit League Peak Performer of the Week honors, posting four clean sheets on the men's side and three on the women's side.

In 2022, men's soccer notched their first winning season in 12 years, earning a result against a top-ten nationally-ranked team for the first time since 2008 and qualifying for the Summit League Finals for the first time since 2009. Errico led Clark to his third-straight postseason honor, earning a spot on the Honorable Mention All-League list.

2022 was his first year with the women's program, tutoring the team's goalkeepers to three clean sheets and a 5.0 saves per game average.

In 2021, the Roos posted a 2-2-2 record in Summit League play, allowing an average of just 1.17 goals per game. Cooper Clark won his second-straight Summit League Goalkeeper of the Year award, ranking 19th in the nation in saves per game and posting two shutouts.

In his first year as the goalkeeping coach, Errico guided keeper Clark to a Summit League Defensive Player of the Week and the 2020 Summit League Goalkeeper of the Year award.
