The Red Deer Polytechnic Kings soccer team has a new bench boss.

Ado Sarcevic has been named to the role following an extensive search, RDP Athletics says.

“We are thrilled to have Ado lead the Kings into the 2022/2023 season. He was a professional soccer player in Europe and former Yugoslavia, and has successfully coached at a variety of levels,” says Randy Stewart, Manager Athletics and Student Life.

“Ado has previously assumed an assistant coach role with the Kings Soccer team for two years. We look forward to following the progression of the Kings as they strive to build upon last year’s second place regular season record in the south division and ACAC bronze medal.”

Sarcevic is well-known in the community having established the Red Deer Renegades, which provides competitive options within the Red Deer City Soccer Association. He has served as the Renegades technical director for a decade.

In addition, Sarcevic assumed the role of RDCSA general manager and coached U12 to U18 squads, winning three U18 Alberta Championships with the Renegades. He also coached the Renegades women’s team in the Alberta Major Soccer League and worked with central Alberta coaches to grow their expertise, according to RDP Athletics.

“I am very excited for this wonderful opportunity to become a member of Red Deer Polytechnic as Kings soccer head coach,” says Sarcevic. “I’m looking forward to building exceptional soccer players, but most importantly, developing great citizens of our communities.”

Sarcevic will officially begin his coaching duties on May 2, 2022.
