Charlotte has announced the hiring of associate head coach Kevin Langan as the 49ers' new head men's soccer coach. Langan replaces Jeremy Gunn who resigned last month to take over at Stanford.?

"Kevin has been an integral part of the success of our soccer program," Charlotte Director of Athletics Judy Rose told the team's athletic website. "We are thrilled that he has decided to take over the reigns as head coach. ?I am confident that the continuity of his leadership along with his strong knowledge of soccer will provide a smooth transition for our returning players and will be extremely attractive to prospective players."

Before moving to Charlotte, Langan spent four years as the head boys' coach of the Classics Elite Soccer Academy in San Antonio, Texas. He also coached the Classics Elite Soccer Academy's U18 United States Soccer Federation Academy team in 2008.

As a player, the Jersey, United Kingdom native represented Great Britain at two World University Games; in 2001 in Beijing, China and then captaining the team in Daegu, South Korea in 2003.
