Brian Maisonneuve (born June 28, 1973) is an American retired soccer player and current coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. He spent his entire professional career as a defensive midfielder with the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer. He was a member of the U.S. soccer teams at both the 1996 Summer Olympics and the 1998 FIFA World Cup, earning a total of thirteen caps with the U.S. national team.
Youth and college
[edit]Maisonneuve was born in Warren, Michigan. He played for the Carpathia Kickers in Metro Detroit as a child and teen.[citation needed] He played his high school soccer at De La Salle Collegiate High School of Warren, Michigan.[1] He played college soccer at Indiana University from 1991 to 1994, winning the Hermann Trophy his senior season, as well as finishing his career as the Big Ten's all-time top goalscorer with 44, and helping Indiana to the NCAA Championship game, losing 1–2 to Virginia.[1][2]
Club career
[edit]Maisonneuve was allocated to the Columbus Crew for the 1996 MLS season, becoming one of two players without any pro experience on the league's initial allocation list; the other was Damian Silvera.[citation needed] Maisonneuve would quickly earn a starting spot with the Crew, and would hold on to it for the next 8 years.[citation needed] He started 83 games for the Crew between 1996 and 1999.[3]
Before the 2000 season, he suffered a series of devastating ankle injuries, forcing him to sit out the season and threatening his career.[2] Maisonneuve returned in 2001, however, and slotted right back into his starting role.[2][3] He would remain there for the next three years, before finally losing his spot when the Crew acquired Simon Elliott prior to the 2004 season;[citation needed] Maisonneuve would go on to play only nine games in 2004.[3]
By Major League Soccer's ninth year, Maisonneuve was one of only two players to have played for a single club throughout that period, and when he retired after the season, he left Cobi Jones as the lone player with that distinction.[citation needed] Maisonneuve scored 23 goals and 37 assists in his pro career.[3]
International career
[edit]After graduating from Indiana University, Maisonneuve spent 1995 training with the U.S. Olympic Team; he later played in the 1996 Summer Olympics.[1] During his professional career, Maisonneuve was a fringe player for the United States national team, totalling just 13 caps with the team.[1] Despite his limited playing time, Maisonneuve did play all three of the United States' games at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.[1]
Coaching career
[edit]Following his retirement in 2004, Maisonneuve joined the United States U-17 team as an assistant coach, spending four years there.[4] In 2008, he joined the Louisville Cardinals men's soccer team coaching staff as an assistant coach.[4] He would stay with the team for two years, during which time they had a 24–11–4 record.[5] In 2010 Maisonneuve joined the Indiana Hoosiers men's soccer team coaching staff as an assistant coach. During his tenure, he helped the team to an NCAA Division I Championship in 2012, a regular season championship in 2010, a Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2013, and an overall record of 102–42–34.[5] On April 23, 2018, Maisonneuve was announced as the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes men's soccer team.[5]
