Mississippi University for Women announced this week that Valerie Greer will serve as the interim head coach of the women’s soccer program for the upcoming fall 2026 semester, stepping into the role after Ana Ramos stepped down in June.
Foster’s Confidence in Continuity
Athletics Director Buddy Foster highlighted Greer’s proven ability to keep the program on track, noting that her intimate knowledge of the players and tactical approach should smooth the transition and maintain the competitive edge the team has built.
The university has indicated that a national search will be launched after the 2026 season to identify a permanent head coach, giving the interim period a clear purpose while the administration evaluates long‑term options.
Looking Ahead
Greer’s appointment also underscores the university’s commitment to investing in women’s sports, a priority that aligns with growing community support and increased funding opportunities.
