Juan Gonzalez begins his fourth year on Bill Maddock's staff and fifth season with the men's soccer program as an assistant coach at in 2023.

Gonzalez was a part of the Rams' final GNAC season in 2019 in which the blue-and-gold built a 6-9-1 overall record.

His second season, first under Maddock's leadership, was set for 2020, however, that was side-lined due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Although the Rams did not take the field in 2020 there is still a noteworthy accomplishment as Tucker Mee was acknowledged for his academic and athletic achievements with a CoSIDA Academic All-District honor. He is the first player in program history to take home the feat. 

In 2021, Gonzalez helped Suffolk transition into its Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) era. That year the blue-and-gold built an 8-9-1 overall record and earned the eighth seed in the CCC postseason. Individually, Nigel Leo and Brady Sorensen shined as the pair received All-CCC recognition. The former earned a place on first team, while the latter picked up a spot on the second team. Leo, who led the team in all offensive categories, collected an all-region second-team nod from the United Soccer Coaches as well. On top of the atlhetic achievements, Leo became the second Ram in program history to earn CoSIDA Academic All-District honors for his combined academic and athletic efforts. 

Gonzalez fourth campaign saw Suffolk competed in the CCC Championship for the first time in program history as the fourth-seeded Rams played their way into the title tilt after going 8-8-5 in the regular-season and 4-2-3 versus conference counterparts. United Soccer Coaches All-Region second-team selection Brady Sorensen anchored Suffolk's scoring unit, while Xander Balog held down the back field with an impressive nine shutouts to his credit. That duo headlined a group of five All-CCC honorees. Jack Phelps and Tommy Handelsman joined Balog on the second team, while Carter Van Buskirk and Sorensen were selected to the third team. 

Gonzalez brought years of valuable playing and coaching experience to the Rams’ staff.

After competing for the Falcons at Bentley University, where he earned a Bachelor’s in Finance with a minor in Sport Management in 2015, he began his extensive coaching venture. The Somerville native’s resume is highlighted by roles at the club, high school, and collegiate level, most recently as the Head Coach of the New England Futbol Club out of Bedford, Massachusetts.

In his first volunteer season at Suffolk in 2019, Gonzalez helped guide the Rams to a 6-9-1 overall record.  

Gonzalez also possesses a D License with the United States Soccer Federation.
