San Diego FC have signed head coach Mikey Varas to a multi-year contract extension, the club announced Monday.

Varas led SDFC to extraordinary heights during the club's inaugural season, guiding the Chrome and Azul to a first-place finish in the Western Conference, securing qualification for the Concacaf Champions Cup and reaching the Western Conference Final. 

San Diego also set new MLS expansion records for points (63) and most wins (19) in a debut season.

“From day one, Mikey set the standard for who we want to be as a club,” said sporting director Tyler Heaps. “His leadership, tactical clarity & alignment, and commitment to player development were instrumental in delivering a historic inaugural season.

"Beyond the results, Mikey has helped build a strong culture and identity that reflects San Diego FC’s values, and we’re excited to continue this journey with him leading the team.”
