Eddie Costa has been named the Wiregrass Ranch girls soccer coach, Bulls athletic director Dave Wilson announced April 22.
“Eddie brings a wealth of knowledge and background to our girls program,” Wilson said. “He has been successful at so many levels and we are happy to have him leading our program.”
Costa has coached soccer since 1989, including last year with the Rushe Middle girls program and with Central Pasco USA. He also has experience on the high school and collegiate levels.
Costa replaces Erin Dodd, who resigned in March to take a teaching position in Doha, Qatar. The Bulls went 40-8-2 during her two years with the program, including a district championship and regional finals appearance in 2011.
Chris Madden, a 2010 graduate of Wiregrass Ranch, is Costa’s assistant. He has served the last two years as the Bulls’ boys goalkeeper coach while also working with the FC Tampa Lutz Rangers soccer club.
