Head Coach Roberto Dos Santos

Roberto Dos Santos begins his first season as head coach.

The opportunity to lead the new soccer programs at Cowley excites Dos Santos, who had spent the previous seven years as the Moundbuilders’ head men’s soccer coach.

Dos Santos is a native of Brasilia, Brazil. He came to the United States in 1991 to play soccer at Saint Mary of the Plains College in Dodge City, where he was awarded first-team all-conference and first-team all-region honors. In 1992 he transferred to his alma mater, Bethany College in Lindsborg.

At Bethany, he was a first-team all-conference selection all three years at the school. He capped his collegiate career by being named an all-American in 1994.
In Brazil, Dos Santos played for CR Guara, AA Internacional de Limeira, and Santa Fe FC. In the USA he played in the Premier Development League with the Wichita Jets and Sioux City Breeze.

Prior to coaching at Southwestern, Dos Santos served as assistant coach for the Sioux Falls Spit Fire – PDL team, and was an assistant men’ soccer coach at the University of Evansville. He also served as the head women’s coach at Bethany College.

He and his wife, Kirsten, have two boys, Diego 8, and Gabriel 4.
