Mark Biagi is set to make his debut as FC Tucson head coach and technical director when the club opens the 2023 season on Friday, May 5, at Kino North Stadium.
James Kelley Special to the Arizona Daily Star Having spent much of his formative years in Europe, new FC Tucson men’s head coach Mark Biagi was surrounded by soccer.“I moved over there when I was 5," Biagi said."I spent much of my childhood over there, and so my influence was almost all soccer. I experimented with some other sports, but I didn’t really play them very often.”
After FC Tucson transitioned from USL League One to League Two and amateur status, previous head coach Jon Pearlman stepped back to focus on his role as president and owner. He tapped Biagi to succeed him. “Now I just enjoy coaching soccer and being around soccer with him in the youth club,” Biagi said. “It’s something we enjoy doing together because it’s a positive impact on our community.
Pearlman coached FC Tucson in 2022 and for about a third of 2021, adding head coach to his technical director job. Shortly after Biagi was named FC Tucson head coach, the club added the technical director role.“Mark and I have worked together a long time, our philosophies are in line and he’s been an extension of what I’ve tried to accomplish,” Pearlman said.
In addition to serving as assistant coach for the professional FC Tucson in 2021 and 2022, Biagi was a player analyst in 2020 and an assistant coach in 2014.
