"We are incredibly fortunate to have Carl Junot join the Crimson program," said Jamie Clark, the Virginia B. and James O. Welch Head Coach for Harvard Men's Soccer. "Carl is one of the country's top assistants and was a catalyst in transforming New Mexico into a national powerhouse. We worked together for four years at New Mexico, so I know what a great addition Carl will be to Harvard men's soccer," Clark continued. "He is a brilliant coach, proven recruiter and will help keep this program moving in a positive direction."

"I am very excited to work at Harvard University," Junot said. "Harvard is a dynamic institution with a great tradition of men's soccer. I believe coach Jamie Clark will provide great leadership and Harvard soccer will continue to grow as a national program."
