Syracuse, N.Y. – Le Moyne College Director of Athletics & Recreation Bob Beretta announced on Tuesday the hiring of Callum Donnelly '17, M '21 as the interim head coach of the men's soccer program for the 2023 season. Donnelly replaces former mentor Tom Bonus, who announced his retirement earlier this month.

"After careful consideration, we have decided to name Callum the interim head coach of our men's soccer program," said Beretta. "As a former player and most recently an assistant coach, I am confident Callum will provide the continuity and leadership required to successfully lead our men's soccer program into its inaugural season at the Division I level as a member of the Northeast Conference. We plan to conduct a national search at season's end to identify the program's next head coach moving forward."

"I am delighted to be named interim head coach of this program that means so much to me," said Donnelly. "It is an exciting time for Le Moyne athletics as we go into our first year as a Division I program. We will embrace the challenges ahead and we are looking forward to playing against some fantastic programs along the way. I am looking forward to working with a group of players that I fully trust and know very well. The group will continue to work on the strong values that Tom has helped build over the years."

A native of Edinburgh, Scotland, Donnelly has served as a member of the program's coaching staff for the last four years (three seasons). The Dolphins have produced a record of 28-19-7 during his time on the staff, including a mark of 17-13-5 in Northeast-10 Conference play. The teams qualified for the NE10 Championship all three seasons to extend the program's streak to 21 consecutive appearances, the second-longest active streak in the conference.

Donnelly spent the final two years of his collegiate career as a Dolphin after transferring from Webber International University. A starter in 30 of 34 games played as a Dolphin, he tallied 12 points on four goals and four assists as a midfielder. He posted three assists as a junior as the Dolphins went 12-6-1, including 8-4-1 in NE10 action, and earned their first NCAA Championships berth in six years and seventh overall. He then recorded four goals and an assist as a senior, when the Dolphins went 14-5-2 and advanced to the NE10 title game for the fifth time in the program's history and earned a berth in the NCAA Championships for the second straight year. His four goals in 2016 were tied for the second-most on the team, while he was third in total points.
 
He holds a USSF "D" License and is pursuing his UEFA "C" License.
 
Donnelly earned his Bachelor's degree in Finance from Le Moyne in 2017 and completed his MBA in Analytics in December 2021.
