LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) — After coaching the Cards for 13 years, Ken Lolla has resigned from the University of Louisville.
University of Louisville Vice President and Director of Athletics Vince Tyra announced Lolla's resignation as head coach of the men's soccer program on Tuesday.
Lolla said that it was time for him and his wife, Tina, to move on to new challenges, adding that "promptings from God" influenced the decision.
"We are forever grateful for the acceptance, support, and love we have received from the Louisville community," he said in a statement.
"We respect Ken and Tina's decision and wish them the best," Tyra said.
