Biography

On December 7, 2010, Virginia Tech Director of Athletics Jim Weaver announced the hiring of Tech’s fourth head women's soccer coach Charles “Chugger” Adair, the associate head coach for the team the previous five seasons. The 2023 season marked Adair's 18th season in Blacksburg and his 13th year as the Hokies' head coach. In that time, he's become the all-time wins leader in program history, ending the 2022 campaign with a 148-75-24 overall record, and is just the third soccer coach at the school (Jerry Cheynet and Mike Brizendine) to reach the 100-win milestone with the team's victory at Miami on Sept. 23, 2019. He's also just the 10th women's soccer head coach to reach that mark in the ACC.
