Oliver Weiss, the head coach of the Virginia Tech soccer team for the past seven seasons, resigned from his post Tuesday.
Weiss cited "personal reasons" as his justification for departure.
He was 72-52-7 in his time at Tech, and is best remembered for leading the Hokies to the 2007 NCAA Final Four, where they were defeated by Wake Forest.
Last season the Hokies fell to the botom of the ACC, going winless in eight games, after losing eight starters from that Final Four squad.
There is no immediate word on who may take the head coaching position next, but either of the assistant coaches Kevin Doyle or Michael Brizendine could assume interim head coaching duties.
Tech has a recruiting class of 11 players coming in this fall, and due to the timing of coach Weiss' resignation, it may be hard for those players to be released at this point.
