Jose Canahui

U15/U16 MLS Next AD Coach

My name is Jose Canahui. I am the current Norwalk High boys soccer head coach.This will be my 8th year coaching high school soccer. I was an assistant coach for Norwalk high school for about 6 years and in those years I won an FCIAC title in the year 2021. I was also part of two Semi Finalist groups in the state tournament back in 2017 and more recently 2022. The 2022 group also went undefeated for the regular season and made it to both FCIAC and STATE Semi Finals.

During my club career I have coached at CT Rush where I had a good career. I have coached at a great level and won many tournaments and league titles. I have also had the privilege to coach alongside a professional coach for a couple of years and learned many great things.

As a player I was able to win a state title with NJSA back in 2015. I also played Polska for 3 years where I developed greatly and won many trophies, alongside some great players.

I attended Norwalk High school from the year 2011-2015. I was part of a very special group that won an FCIAC title and a State title all in the same year in 2012. I was the only starting sophomore on the team and continued to have a good high school career. I was All FCIAC 1st team both Junior and Senior year. I was All State my senior year. I brought interest from Southern Connecticut State University and continued my soccer career at the school.

I am super excited to work at Beachside, growing up as a player you would hear that this was the best club in the area and it continues to be that way. I am looking forward to working with talented players and a very talented staff and I hope to win many trophies for the club and compete at the highest level possible.
