He returns to Liberty after two years as the inaugural men’s head coach at New College of Florida in Sarasota, Fla., where he led the Mighty Bayans to a 10-3-1 record in the program’s first season (2023).
Prior to his role at NCF, Konga was a member of the Eastern University coaching staff from 2021 to 2023. He began as an assistant coach, served as interim head coach in 2022, and was promoted to full-time head coach in 2023.
Konga also served as head coach at Valley Forge for the 2017 and 2018 seasons. During his tenure, he was an Assistant Professor and Program Director of Sport Management.
With more than a decade of coaching experience, Konga currently serves as Director of Soccer for Central Virginia United Soccer Club. He has served as head coach with Buxmont Torch FC (NPSL) and was part of the technical staff with Sarasota Paradise (USL2), helping the team win two divisional titles on the road to becoming a professional club.
As a player, Konga was a defender for Liberty in 2014 and 2015, appearing in 18 games with 14 starts. In 2014, he helped anchor a defense that recorded six shutouts, contributing to an 11-6-1 season. A native of London, England, Konga transferred to Liberty from Cairn University (2012–2013) after beginning his collegiate career at Cloud County (2011–2012). He was part of Cloud County’s 2011 NJCAA National Championship team, which posted a 22-1-3 record with 17 shutouts, and he has since been inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame.
Following graduation, Konga played professionally for the Philadelphia Fury for two seasons.
