Who is Oliver Weiss?

Oliver Weiss is a German-born, U.S.-based soccer coach, working primarily at the NCAA level. He was the head men's soccer coach at Virginia Tech from 2002 through 2009.

Virginia Tech made it to the national semifinals of the NCAA soccer tournament in 2007, falling 2-0 to eventual national champion Wake Forest University. Virginia Tech concluded that season with a 14-4-5 record and a number 3 national ranking.

Weiss resigned from Tech in 2009 following an NCAA infraction that resulted in eight players losing their eligibility. Weiss had loaned players money for admission fees, incorrectly believing that the loans were permissible.

He was named the top assistant for UNC during that run. From 1996 to 1998, he served as an assistant at William & Mary, where he posted a 49-19-3 record.
