Chris Watkins is the head coach of the Boston College women's soccer program in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, a position he assumed on Dec. 14, 2023.
Watkins arrived at Boston College after seven seasons as Gonzaga's head coach, where he posted a 79-33-16 record and oversaw one of the most successful periods in program history. In 2023, Gonzaga won the West Coast Conference title for the first time and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nearly 20 years. That team finished 14-4-2 overall and 6-1-1 in conference play, highlighted by a victory over nationally ranked Santa Clara. Gonzaga also ranked among the national leaders in several attacking categories and set program single-season records for goals, assists, and points.
