The UCF men’s soccer team has announced the addition of Milo Bruce-Burgess to its support staff ahead of the fall 2026 campaign. Bruce-Burgess will step into a special assistant/operations role with the program.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of this program,” he said. “In building my network I had worked with coach Calabrese and the rest of the staff a few times in the past, and really felt that what they had built here was something I wanted to be a part of. UCF’s men’s soccer program has always been such a competitive team on the national stage and within the Sun Belt, and I’m super excited to join and learn from the rest of the staff.”
Milo, the brother of UCF men’s tennis head coach Lloyd Bruce-Burgess, makes the move to Orlando after spending the last three years on staff as an assistant coach and associate head coach with the Westminster Griffins in Salt Lake City, Utah, from the spring of 2022 through the fall 2025 campaign.
With Bruce-Burgess’ aid, Westminster saw four Griffins earn RMAC All-Conference honors throughout his three-year tenure, accompanied by 10 honorable mention selections in that span.
The program notched a pair of double-digit win seasons on his watch, going 10-8-1 in his first campaign on staff in 2022 before it also authored an 11-7-2 year in 2025.
He also pioneered a pilot program aimed at bringing more student-athletes into the university, where they would receive additional developmental help with their on-field skills with the goal of more quickly progressing to higher levels. The program not only directly benefited the Griffins on the field, but aided in generating revenue for the school and the Westminster men’s soccer program as well.
Prior to his time with Westminster, Bruce-Burgess served as an assistant coach with Upper Iowa from 2018 through 2020, where he also earned his master’s degree in Sports Administration and Coaching Leadership.
He earned his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from William Penn in 2015, where he played throughout his four-year collegiate career.
Away from the pitch at the collegiate level, Bruce-Burgess also directed the Wasatch Soccer Club in Ogden, Utah for six years from 2020-2025, working with boys’ U13-U19 age groups. With the program, he headed the college advisory program and served as the college director for the club, where he helped move dozens of athletes to Division I universities.
“I’m looking forward to engaging with the community and helping get more people out to our games,” Bruce-Burgess continued. “Recognizing the importance of showing what soccer truly is and alumni, the community, to engage within UCF will be key in helping improve the team’s on-field performance as well.”
