Eric Da Costa is the head coach of the Quinnipiac University men's soccer program in Hamden, Connecticut, and is set to begin his 22nd season in charge in fall 2026. A former Quinnipiac player, he is the longest-serving head coach in the program's NCAA era and has compiled a 162-152-62 record through 21 seasons at his alma mater.
Quinnipiac has been a regular postseason team under Da Costa. The Bobcats have reached a conference tournament in 13 of the last 14 seasons, including appearances in the Northeast Conference before the school's move to the MAAC. Since joining that league in 2013, Quinnipiac has played in five conference championship matches and posted a 69-38-17 record in regular-season league games. The program has won five regular-season conference titles in that span, more than any other school in the league according to the source material, with championships in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2020-21, and 2022.
