Alex Ramirez is the new boys soccer coach at Servite, the school announced Monday.
Ramirez coached soccer at Savanna the past 17 seasons. He led Savanna to its first Orange League title this past season. The Rebels advanced to the CIF Southern Section Division 4 semifinals and Ramirez was selected Orange League coach of the year.
He also coaches with the Irvine Pateadores Soccer Club.
Ramirez replaces Eddie Soto, who resigned last month. Soto coached the Friars to two CIF-SS and two CIF Southern California Regionals championships.
Ramirez had recently received a layoff notice from the Anaheim Union High School District.
Servite athletic director Matt Marrujo said Ramirez will be an on-campus teacher at Servite and that Ramirez fits what the school wanted for its next soccer coach.
“His commitment to education-based athletics and to the type of program we want to build is what we were looking for,” Marrujo said.
