    Article By: Staff

    Anel Lilic, who has spent the last two seasons on the University of North Georgia (UNG) men's soccer staff, has been named the interim head coach for the 2023 season.

    "Anel brings a vested commitment and dedication to the men's soccer program, having served as the lead assistant, graduate assistant and a volunteer assistant over the last decade," Director of Athletics Mary Rob Plunkett said. "He will receive our department's full support as we move forward and continue to prepare for the upcoming 2023 season." 

    Prior to his time at UNG, Lilic worked with Atlanta United as a goalkeepers coach in the Regional Development School after a stint with Georgia Southern University's women's soccer program. Prior to that, Lilic served as head coach at Flowery Branch High School, working with the girls' soccer program.

    In his two-year tenure at Flowery Branch, the Lady Falcons were 41-4-2 and reached the state semifinal and state championship.  

    Lilic also served as a head coach for several age groups on the boys' side at Gwinnett Soccer Academy and is a goalkeeper coach with the Olympic Development Program.

    Collegiately, he worked in Dahlonega as a graduate assistant and volunteer assistant with the UNG men's soccer for six years beginning in 2013.

    Lilic moved to Georgia from Sarajevo, Bosnia. He played collegiate soccer at Emmanuel College, where he earned All-Region honors.
