Girls Soccer: Park View Names Broad Run Assistant Davorin Husadzinovic as New Varsity Head Coach; 2-Time State Champ Coach Phil Rosenthal Named Assist.

Sterling (Aug. 23, 2012) - Park View High School has recently named former Patriot standout and professional soccer player Davorin Husadzinovic as it's new varsity girls soccer coach. He joins the Patriots staff from Broad Run High School, where he was an assistant in the boy's soccer program. 

Davorin is originally from Brcko, Bosnia and Herzegovina where he lived the first seven years of his life. He started playing soccer for the local club FC Conthey at the age of seven. In December of 1998, Davorin's family moved to Washington, DC where he attended Woodrow Wilson High School and played soccer there for three years. At Wilson HS his teams were city champions two times in 2000 and 2002. 

In the summer of 2002 his family moved to Sterling, VA and he attended Park View High School for his senior year of High School. In one year at Park View his teams were ranked in the top 10 in the Washington Post, and Davorin was on the all-met selection as well as 1st team all-district, 1st team all-region and 2nd team all-state. 

After high school he attended North Carolina Wesleyan College for his freshman year of college and then Radford Univeristy for the next three. While at Wesleyan and Radford, Husadzinovic received many individual awards including Player of the Week in the Big South conference, all-tournament team, all-conference team as well as being on the Presidential Honor Roll. 

After graduating from Radford with a double major in exercise, sports and health education and French language he moved back to Switzerland where he kept pursuing his love for the game. Davorin was on a couple of youth/practice squads such as FC Basel until he finally made his professional debut with FC Concordia in Basel, Swizerland. He played there professionally until a torn ACL ended his season. 

Today Davorin is a French teacher at Eagle Ridge Middle School, and still involved in the game as a player as well as coach. He is currently playing on many of the premier soccer leagues around the Washington area as well as for a semi-pro indoor soccer team (Dulles AC).

To help him guide the Lady Patriots this year, Coach Husadzinovic has also named former Park View coach Phil Rosenthal as his varsity assistant. Rosenthal won state championships while guiding the boys varsity teams at Park View in 1991 and 1992. The coaching duo hopes to make a big impact on the program right away.
