The Clarkson University Athletic Department is pleased to announce the hiring of Augusto Lima as the next head coach for the Golden Knights' Men's Soccer program for the 2023-24 season.

Lima replaces coach Carter Lincoln, who accepted a job as an assistant coach for defending Division I National Champion Syracuse University a few weeks ago.

"Thank you to Laurel Kane, Ben Gaebel, and the entire search committee for placing their trust in me to lead Clarkson Men's Soccer," Lima stated "From the moment I set foot on campus, I have been blown away by the institution and warmth of the Clarkson community, and I am thrilled to be a part of this exceptional program and university. Clarkson Men's Soccer has already established itself as a competitive presence in Division III, and I am eager to work with this group on pushing the boundaries both on and off the field, making our alumni, community, and supporters proud. I cannot wait to welcome a promising group of student-athletes back to campus in August, and to embark on this exciting new chapter with the Clarkson Men's Soccer program."

Lima brings Division I and Division III experience to Clarkson, having most recently served as an assistant for Northeastern University in 2022, where he served as recruiting coordinator and goalkeeping coach. Prior to his time with the Huskies, Lima spent a season at University of Rochester as the team's top assistant for the 2021 campaign when the Yellowjackets reached the NCAA Tournament, and he also two seasons as recruiting coordinator and assistant coach for Bucknell University for two seasons (fall 2019, spring 2021).

Lima spent six years in Selinsgrove, PA, as he was a four-year member of the Susquehanna University Men's Soccer team and then spent two more years as assistant coach. The team's starting goalkeeper in his junior and senior season with the River Hawks, Lima started 27 games and posted a 1.20 goals against average in nearly 2500 career minutes, making 102 saves and collecting 11 wins and nine shutouts.

A 2016 graduate of Susquehanna University with a degree in Business Administration, Lima has a United Soccer Coaches Goalkeeping Level 3 Diploma and a United Soccer Coaches Federation D License. A native of Campinas, Brazil, Lima is fluent in English and Portuguese, and is also highly proficient in Spanish.
