LDSC Welcomes Daniel J. Krzyzanowicz as Director of Coaching
Lancaster Depew Soccer Club is proud to announce the appointment of Daniel J. Krzyzanowicz as our new Director of Coaching. A highly accomplished and respected soccer coach, Dan brings with him a wealth of experience at the collegiate, club, and professional levels, as well as a proven track record of success in player development, team performance, and leadership.
Over the course of his distinguished coaching career, Dan has amassed 314 collegiate wins, guided teams to 14 conference finals, and led 8 NCAA tournament appearances. He is renowned for his ability to develop top-tier talent, having coached multiple All-Americans, professional players, and three who reached the National Team level. His coaching tree is equally impressive, with more than 20 former players and assistants now coaching at NCAA programs.
Dan’s most recent NCAA role was at Penn State Harrisburg, where he became the winningest coach in program history and engineered one of the most dramatic turnarounds in NCAA Division III soccer. In his final season, Penn State Harrisburg beat #1 Messiah College, ending the undefeated season in the last match of the season and beat #3 St. Mary's College. He also held significant leadership positions at Medaille College, where his teams captured numerous regular season titles, six NCAA berths, and a national reputation for excellence.
Beyond college soccer, Dan has coached at the professional level with the Rochester Rhinos (USL) and at the semi-pro level with FC Buffalo (NPSL), where he helped guide players to careers in MLS and abroad. His previous tenure as Director of Coaching at Orchard Park Soccer Club showcased his ability to develop youth programs, mentor coaches, and elevate club-wide standards of play.
As Director of Coaching at LDSC, Dan is excited to share his passion, knowledge, and experience to support and inspire every coach and player in our club. His mission is clear: to build a culture of excellence, development, and opportunity for all. We’re excited for Dan to be overseeing and running camps and clinics with dates to be posted soon. You can also expect to see Dan at trainings, tournaments, events and games so please make sure you stop by and say hello.
