Dylan Evande as New USL League Two Head Coach

Morris Elite Soccer Club Announces Dylan Evande as New USL League Two Head Coach

Madison, NJ – Morris Elite Soccer Club is proud to announce Dylan Evande as the new Head Coach of our USL League Two Men’s First Team ahead of the 2026 season.

Evande’s story is deeply woven into the fabric of Morris Elite. A former professional player, Dylan made club history in the summer of 2021 when he became our first-ever USL League Two signing during our inaugural season. After concluding his playing career, he returned to the Morris Elite family in Fall 2023, joining the coaching staff, where he quickly demonstrated an ability to connect with players and elevate standards on and off the field.

Now entering the next chapter of his career, Evande becomes a shining example of the club’s commitment not only to a player pathway, but to a coaching pathway that identifies, develops, and empowers promising coaches from within our ranks.

A Message from Club President, Vincenzo Bernardo

“Watching Dylan’s journey from being our first USL2 signing to now leading our USL League Two team has been incredibly rewarding. Even as a player, he showed leadership qualities and an understanding of the game that told me he would one day be a great coach when he was ready.

At Morris Elite, our mission has never only been about developing players. We are equally committed to developing coaches and creating a pathway for those who show promise, passion, and progress. Dylan is the perfect example of that vision in action.

I’ve never been afraid to give opportunities to coaches I am confident in regardless of age because soccer continues to evolve, and it’s important that we embrace forward thinking, modern coaches who can lead the next generation. The game needs fresh minds, new energy, and ideas that move the sport forward, and Dylan embodies exactly that.

Our entire club players, families, and staff are proud to support him as he steps into the pre-professional coaching world, and we are excited to see him guide our USL2 program into a new era.”

A message from Head Coach, Dylan Evande
“I have always been a person who was passionate about projects and building things. Since Day 1, Vincenzo struck me as a visionary so it aligned with my beliefs as a player and now as a coach. Prior to signing my professional contract, I received a call that the door was always open for me when I was ready and to me that is the sign of risk taking and confidence in what I can deliver, for that I am grateful and have a duty and responsibility to deliver at a high level.”
 
“We are putting together a very competitive roster of talent that will one day represent the club at the next level. That is the mission that will work its way to fruition. Thank you to the club and it’s supporters, I can’t wait to get started.”
