Doug Desmarteau, head men’s soccer coach at Allen Community College, will serve as the college’s new athletic director.
The position opened after athletic director and volleyball coach Jessica Peters resigned last month.
Desmarteau has worked at the college for 10 years.
When he started coaching, only one head coach served both the women’s and men’s soccer teams.
Since then, the coaching has branched out to two separate head coaches.
Along with his athletic director duties he will continue to serve as the head men’s soccer coach.
“He has a great tenure here and a great understanding of the college and the conference,” Allen Community College president John Masterson said.
“He will be a great fit.”
