“We have loved having Nick Jaramillo work with our high-level academy teams over the course of the last two seasons,” Director of Youth Operations Brad Nein said. “Nick has brought his knowledge and expertise to create a fantastic training environment, as well as opportunities for positive growth during games. We will miss Nick greatly as he takes a position with NCFC.”
Jaramillo led the Tormenta FC USL Academy squad to success in its inaugural season, placing second in the Southeast Division and finishing with a 3-4-1 record.
“I want to thank all the players, the fans, the USL League One coaching staff, the front office and the ownership group at Tormenta FC for giving me the opportunity to grow and develop in my trade,” Jaramillo said. “In working with numerous teams throughout the organization, I’ve developed countless memories that have helped mold me into the coach I am today.
“I'm very grateful for the opportunities the club has given me. Working with these groups is something I will cherish throughout my career. Thank you to the USL League One, League Two and Academy players for showing dedication and passion to growing the game as this has set a certain standard in the club to which all the younger teams look up to. I look forward to following the Tormenta Family in its continued success.”
