"I'm very excited to add Jake Douvas to our staff," said Wiggans. "I've known Jake for a few years now and have seen him develop as a coach. He brings a lot of experience and knowledge to our staff. His passion for the game and desire to grow young men fits exactly what we are looking for."
Prior to Charleston, Douvas served as an assistant coach with the Presbyterian men's soccer team for the 2024 and 2025 seasons.
"I am incredibly excited to join this proud and historic program," said Douvas. "I have appreciated what Coach Keith has built here for a number of years, and I jumped at the opportunity to join his staff. It is an honor to be a part of such a rich tradition and I look forward to helping the student athletes build on it."
Douvas joined Presbyterian after he spent a year with Major League Soccer's New England Revolution. He was part of the Wofford coaching staff with Coach Finotti for three years before his time with the Revolution.
In the 2023-24 season, Douvas was the video analyst for the New England Revolution 2 in MLS NEXT PRO. In that role, he helped scout upcoming opponents, provided match-day analysis for the coaching staff and assisted with academy training sessions. He helped the club reach the Eastern Conference Championship.

During his time at Wofford, he worked with the SC United Bantams in the USL League 2, where he assisted in training and activation for the team and pre/post-match video analysis. The Bantams captured the 2021 South Central Conference championship during this time. He was also an assistant coach for the SC United FC ECNL '06 team for the 2019-20 season.
Before SC United, he spent the 2018 season as an assistant coach for Quincy College in Massachusetts, helping Quincy make an NCJAA postseason appearance. In 2018, he coached at Gann Academy leading them to the 2018 MBIL championship and the NEPSAC semifinals. He began his coaching career with the GPS Massachusetts and worked with them for three seasons.
Douvas played for the Rhode Island Reds FC in the National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) from 2015-17 and helped them to a third-place finish in the Northeast Conference in 2016. He also played for the New Hampshire Bobcats in the UPSL and played in the U-19 USYS Region I 2015 championships after winning the Rhode Island state championship.
The Lexington, Massachusetts native graduated from Bentley University with a bachelor's degree in business management in 2018 and a master's degree in sports management from the University of South Carolina in 2020.
Douvas holds a USSF "B" coaching license and a UEFA B coaching license from the Welsh FA.
