BEVERLY YANEZ

Head Coach 

Beverly “Bev” Goebel Yanez returns for a second season as the head coach of Racing Louisville FC in 2025. Racing Louisville appointed Yanez as the club’s third permanent head coach in November 2023, and she led the team to a ninth-place finish in the National Women’s Soccer League during the 2024 season.

In Yanez’s first season at the helm, Racing narrowly missed out on the club’s first-ever NWSL playoff berth. Still, the season was not without success — Yanez led Racing to its most wins in a single season (7), its highest-scoring regular season (33 goals) and its most-ever points in the standings (28).

Additionally, Yanez led the development a new generation of Racing stars, notably Emma Sears. The former Ohio State forward was the final selection of the second round of the 2024 NWSL draft but emerged as a rookie talent in 2024, earning multiple calls up to the U.S. Women’s National Team by season’s end.

Following Yanez’s 10-year professional career, the 36-year-old spent three years in the NWSL as an assistant coach before becoming taking charge of Racing. She spent two seasons with NJ/NY Gotham FC, where she helped lead a run to the 2021 Challenge Cup final and the 2021 NWSL Playoffs. Yanez then moved to Louisville, where she helped Racing reach the 2023 UKG NWSL Challenge Cup final — the club’s first appearance in an NWSL final.

A University of Miami alum, Yanez’s playing career had a notable spell with NWSL club Reign FC. She won two NWSL Shields, helped Reign to two NWSL finals, was a Best XI selection and a finalist for the league MVP award in 2015 during her time in Seattle. Over six seasons with Reign, she appeared in 123 games, tallying 24 goals and nine assists.

Yanez’s playing career included stops in Australia, Finland and Japan — where she won the league’s golden boot in 2013 — and included several championships. She won the 2011 Women’s Professional Soccer League title with the Western New York Flash; the 2011 Finnish Naisten Liiga crown with PK-35; back-to-back Japanese Nadeshiko League championships with INAC Kobe; and the 2017 Australian W-League crown with Melbourne City.

CARMELINA MOSCATO

Assistant Coach

Moscato came to Louisville with a long list of soccer accomplishments, including three World Cup trips, an Olympic bronze medal and a Concacaf gold medal as a player for the Canada Women’s National Team and a Liga MX Femenil title as the head coach and technical director at UANL Tigres in Mexico.

The Mississauga, Ontario native has held an array of professional roles since her retirement as a player in 2016. Moscato has coached at the college, youth national team and pro levels – and she has also been a league commissioner and a director of football – with her career taking her to Australia, the Bahamas, Denmark, Mexico and the U.S.

Moscato even has a previous connection to Louisville: She worked three seasons as an assistant for Karen Ferguson-Dayes at the University of Louisville in the late 2000s while still playing professionally.

MITCH SOWERBY

Assistant Coach

Sowerby moves to the NWSL after posting a 46-23-11 mark in four years as a collegiate head coach. At Oklahoma Christian, Sowerby’s team posted a 10-win turnaround between his first and second seasons, earning a spot in the Division II Lone Star Conference championship in 2022. 

He comes to Racing with experience across multiple levels of the sport. In addition to his college coaching work, he served as the academy director at Edmond Soccer Club in the greater Oklahoma City area. He was the camp director for Nike Soccer Camps in Oklahoma City.

He was an assistant coach for three years at his alma mater, Division II program Rogers State University, following his collegiate career. As a player, Sowerby was a three-time all-conference player who registered more minutes than any other non-goalkeeper in Rogers State program history.
