Charles Dailey (born 31 July 1953) is an American professional soccer coach, who is currently a first-team assistant coach and academy coach at Cambodia League 2 club Angkor City (formerly known as Next Step FC). [1]
A formative figure in the development of youth soccer in Southwest Florida, he served as the inaugural President of the Southwest Florida Youth Soccer League from 1981 to 1984.
During this period, he coached future USA national team player and first American goalkeeper to play in the Premier League, Juergen Sommer. [2]
From 1983 to 1984, Dailey coached at St. John Neumann High School. In his only season in charge, he guided the team to a 7-6-1 district record, good for fourth place. [3]
In 1984, Dailey led Naples Soccer Club to fourth in the Amateur Athletic Union National Tournament.
He went on to coach at Barron G. Collier High School in Naples, where they were undefeated in conference play in 1984-85 and 85–86. He was the coach of the team which achieved the first regional championship in any sport in the school's history.
He was recognised as South Florida Conference Coach of the Year for both seasons and Fort Myers News Press Southwest Florida Coach of the Year in 1985–86.
In 1987, Dailey returned to North Carolina as a member of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro coaching staff. [4] [5]
He served as a direct assistant to head coach, Michael Parker, as they won the 1987 Division III National Championship. [6]

That year the team won the Annual Tiger Street Football Festival, pipping 154 teams to a prize of $1,500 and qualifying for the grand finals in Phnom Penh. [12]
As Next Step FC transitioned into a professional club, entering into Cambodian League 2 in 2022, Dailey served as goalkeeper/assistant coach. He continues to work with the club, which has since rebranded to Angkor City Football Club. [13] [14]
