Reading United AC has announced the appointment of Oliver Calvo as Head Coach of one of the club’s Men’s Reserve Teams, which competes in the CASA Soccer League’s Mid-Atlantic Division. Calvo joins the Reading United technical staff with an extensive background as both a player and a coach at the youth, collegiate, and professional levels.
A Reading and Berks County native, Calvo currently serves as Head Coach of PA Classics Reading U16/17 Boys and as Head Coach of the Reading High School Boys Soccer program. In those roles he has built a reputation for developing young players and for competing at the highest levels of the local and regional game.
As a player, Calvo enjoyed a distinguished career that spanned the academy, Division I, Division II, semi-pro, and professional ranks. A former FC Revolution Club player, he went on to represent the Philadelphia Union academy, the University of Louisville, Millersville University, the Philadelphia Fury, and PSC. His career also took him overseas, with playing experience in Spain and Sweden.
“Oliver is a fantastic addition to Reading United.” said Casey Moore, the club’s Sporting Director. “He’s a Reading native with a deep understanding of our community. His playing résumé is impressive, and his experiences at the academy, collegiate, semi professional, and professional levels, both here in the United States and abroad, give him a unique perspective that will benefit our reserve squad and the broader Reading United pathway. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the staff.”
The Men’s Reserve Team plays an important role in the Reading United development pathway, providing meaningful, competitive minutes for prospects working toward the club’s USL League Two first team and beyond. Calvo will lead the program through the upcoming CASA Soccer League Mid-Atlantic Division campaign.
