Cincinnati Promotes Joey Ferreri to Head Swimming and Diving Coach<\/strong><\/p>\n

The University of Cincinnati last week promoted Joey Ferreri<\/strong> to the role of swimming and diving head coach.<\/p>\n

Ferreri was promoted from associate head coach after the retirement of Mandy Commons-DiSalle <\/strong>at the end of March<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ferreri swam for the Bearcats from 2013-15. He\u2019s spent 11 years on staff since then, as an assistant coach, then recruiting director from 2019-21, then since the summer of 2021 as Commons-DiSalle\u2019s associate head coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honored to be named head coach of Cincinnati\u2019s swimming and diving programs,\u201d Ferreri said in a press release<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m incredibly grateful to Director of Athletics John Cunningham and Deputy AD Maggie McKinley for their trust and belief in me. I\u2019ve spent more than a decade preparing for this opportunity, and I\u2019m ready to build a program that is prepared, passionate and driven to compete at the highest level. I\u2019m excited to lead our student-athletes as we chase success in the classroom, in the pool and on the national stage.\u201d<\/p>\n
