John Daly is an English American college soccer coach of Irish descent. He is the current head coach of the College of William and Mary women's soccer program in Williamsburg, Virginia, a position he has held since 1987.
Born in London to Irish parents, Daly attended London Oratory School and played for the Rugby Youth Club in North Kensington where he represented the club in football (soccer), cricket, swimming, athletics, cycling and cross country as a boy. He went on to play football for Copyc FC, Norland Rovers, South Vale Glacier and Hillingdon British Legion before taking up coaching. He began his coaching career in London. With certification from the FA, he coached and played for St. Thomas Youth Club in Fulham. He later moved to the United States, where he worked at soccer camps across the country run by the United States Military Academy.
Daly came to William & Mary in 1979 and initially worked as an assistant coach for the women's team, which was a club team until 1981. He was also an assistant coach for the men's team under Al Albert. He became a full-time assistant coach for the women's team in 1986 under John Charles, before succeeding Charles in 1987. As head women's soccer coach, Daly has made the W&M program into the most successful in the Colonial Athletic Association, claiming ten conference tournament titles and eleven regular season titles. The team has had a winning season every year of his tenure, making William & Mary the only program to have a winning season in all 36 years of NCAA women's soccer, along with North Carolina, the most successful school in the sport.
