Coach Aguiar, a lifetime New Bedford resident, will bring 10 years of Stang assistant coaching experience to his new position. A current teacher and alumnus of New Bedford High School, Coach Aguiar will be taking over for Nate Greene who steps down after transitioning to his new role as Athletic Director.
“We are thrilled for Ricardo to take this next step as the new head coach for Bishop Stang Boys Soccer. He has been an integral part of the success of the program over the past 10 years, as he predates all of us who currently coach on staff.

Those who know Ricardo know that he is a staple in the local soccer community as a player for New Bedford High School, and then as a coach in his varying roles across clubs and teams. Ricardo has a true passion and love for the game and is incredibly knowledgeable and skillful at communicating his message to the players. This program has been a huge part of my life and I am excited to be able to pass on to Ricardo what we have shared for the past 6 years,” commented Nate Greene, former Head Coach, and newly appointed Athletic Director for Bishop Stang.
Coach Aguiar shared: “After 10 years of fulfilling the role of Assistant Boys Soccer Coach for Bishop Stang, I could not be more thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to lead the boys soccer program by accepting the position as the new Head Coach. I will strive to continue the ongoing success that we have achieved as a program these past 10 years due to the excellent efforts and goals set by my predecessors.
I would like to thank Athletic Director, Coach Greene, as well as the administration at Bishop Stang High School for making this dream of leading a high school soccer program a reality. I am looking forward to helping continue to grow the success of our program through the many teachings and learnings I have experienced with the Spartan family.
I have worked towards this moment for a decade now and am excited to share my passion and knowledge of the beautiful game along with what I have acquired from the head coaches with which I have been lucky enough to work alongside. I have seen and experienced what Bishop Stang High School is capable of and alongside my predecessor, Nate Greene as the Athletic Director, I am excited for what we can achieve together! Thank you again and God Bless!”
You’ll be able to see the Bishop Stang Boys Soccer team open the season at home on September 8th at 4:00 p.m. vs. Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School.”
