Lenny Armuth

Lenny Armuth has been at the helm of the men’s soccer program since 1994 and in that time has become the most successful coach in the history of the program. With nine Conference Coach of the Year, two NSCAA Regional Coach of the Year, an ECAC Coach of the Year, and a NSCAA/Adidas National Coach of the Year award to his name, Armuth has established himself as one of the elite coaches in the country. His Ranger teams have captured nine conference titles, including a pair of Landmark Conference crowns, further proving the quality of Armuth’s work. No stranger to the NCAA Tournament, his teams have gone to the Big Dance nine times, including their first-ever NCAA Championship game appearance in 2003 where the Rangers finished second in the nation. Most recently, his 2017 squad reached the NCAA Sweet 16 for the third time under Armuth's guidance.

In addition to being a conference powerhouse, Armuth has guided the Rangers to 15 ECAC Tournaments. His teams have claimed three ECAC championships, including in 2018, two years after the conference went to one tournament to crown a single ECAC champion.

In the 2015 season opener on September 1, Armuth recorded his 300th career victory at Drew as the Rangers defeated Swarthmore College 1-0 at Ranger Stadium. The milestone cemented his name in the top 25 of college soccer coaches in both winning percentage and total wins across all three NCAA divisions.

Prior to Drew, Armuth was an assistant with the Rutgers University men’s team that reached the NCAA Tournament in 1993 and head coach of the Kean College women’s squad that was consistently ranked in the Top 10.

As a player, the Maplewood, N.J. native was an All-American at Columbia High School in 1981 and a captain at the University of South Florida. He played professionally and with the United States Maccabi teams which he later coached as well. He and his wife, Sara Jane, have two boys: Jeremy and Matthew.
