Head Coach 

Steve Bodei is a lifelong student of the game with a deep commitment to player development, leadership, and team culture. He began with early success—helping lead Hackettstown High School to the 2001 Group III state championship, a milestone season in the program’s history.

He went on to become a four‑year starter, team captain, and Academic All‑American at Centenary University, returning to the pitch as an assistant coach under Head Coach Keith O’Connor for four seasons. During that time, the Cyclones made a major postseason leap, including a 10‑10‑1 season in 2008, their first CSAC Tournament berth in program history, and an ECAC Metro Region appearance .

Steve holds a United Soccer Coaches National License and is an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). He has coached across youth, college, and semi-professional levels, including a successful stint with the University of Michigan Men’s Club Soccer Team. During his time with the program they earned three divisional championships, two regional titles, eight national tournament appearances, four Sweet 16s, and two Elite Eight runs, including a standout 2019 season as divisional champs and Elite Eight participants.

Steve Bodei has been part of the Victors FC family since 2022 and took over as head coach of the Blue Team in 2023, guiding them to back‑to‑back tournament championships in 2023 and 2024. Coaching with Victors has been one of the most rewarding parts of Steve’s journey. He genuinely looks forward to every session and season, and finds real joy in supporting his players as they grow as athletes, teammates, and people.
