Chris Gbandi.
“Chris Gbandi is simply one of the most decorated individuals in CT soccer history,” said Bill Duffy, President of the Connecticut Soccer Hall of Fame. “He earned almost every recognition available during his time at UConn, before being drafted 1st by MLS.”
During his time at UConn (1998-2001), Gbandi led the Huskies to the NCAA title in 2000 and received the Hermann Trophy (most outstanding player in the nation) and College Cup Most Outstanding Defensive Player that same year. Along with the Hermann Trophy, Gbandi was a 3-time All American and the BIG EAST Rookie of the Year (1998), 4-time All BIG EAST, and 3-time BIG EAST Defender of the Year.
Gbandi was the first player selected in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft and played professionally for Dallas FC (2002-2008), FK Haugesund (2008, Norway), and the Liberian National Team (2004).
He is currently the head coach of the UConn Huskies after coaching 6 years at Northeastern University.
