Title:
Goalkeeper 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 fifth year with men's soccer in 2024, 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.

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.
