The 2026 season marked Charlie Miles’ fourth season as head coach of the Adrian College men’s soccer program after he was hired in January 2023.
Miles came to Adrian from Detroit Mercy, where he served as an assistant coach before earning interim head coach status in November 2022. Prior to Detroit Mercy, Miles served as an assistant coach at Concordia University Ann Arbor from 2019-21. He graduated from Concordia Ann Arbor in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing.
Miles has also been a longtime member of Detroit City FC. He began coaching with DCFC Youth West in 2016, running training sessions and creating daily activities for several youth teams. Miles also served as an assistant coach for the DCFC women’s soccer team in 2021, helping create and execute training plans while assisting with pregame strategy and match-day coaching for the local semi-professional team.
A native of Brighton, England, Miles grew up playing for the Brighton and Hove Albion Academy. In 2014, he played in the Premier Development League in Florida for SWFL Adrenaline while beginning his coaching career with a Chicago Fire affiliate.
“I’m delighted to be named the head coach of the men’s soccer program at Adrian College,” said Miles. “I am grateful to Craig Rainey, Meg Sharp and the search committee for providing me this exciting opportunity. I’m looking forward to helping the student-athletes at Adrian College, both on and off the field.”
In 2024, Miles led Adrian to its best record since 2019. The Bulldogs finished 11-4-2, tied the program record for victories in a season and returned to the MIAA Tournament. Adrian also established a program record by opening the season with nine consecutive nonconference victories.
In 2025, the Bulldogs finished 6-13-1 overall and returned to the MIAA Tournament Semifinals.
In 2026, Miles led Adrian to a 6-8-3 overall record and a 2-3-2 mark in MIAA play. The Bulldogs earned the No. 5 seed and returned to the MIAA Tournament after securing a playoff-clinching victory at Olivet.
