Bio

Jeff Paulus got his coaching start in Halifax with the Halifax County United acting as a player and a coach before he made the big move to Alberta. He started with the St. Albert Impact before making his NAIT coaching debut in 2004.

While with the NAIT Ooks, Paulus had opportunities to coach in Canadas Soccer’s National Training Centre and help various provincial programs.

In 2012 Paulus moved on from NAIT and accepted a position with FC Edmonton. He was initially brought in to develop and lead the FC Edmonton Academy. Still, he saw his role advance to the assistant coach of the senior professional team, where he was then promoted to the Head Coach when FC Edmonton moved to the Canadian Premier League. Paulus left FC Edmonton in November 2020 to work as the Technical Director of Edmonton Scottish.

Paulus has seen his coaching journey come full circle as he returns to coach the NAIT Ooks men’s soccer team this season and has returned to the St. Albert Impact program, where it all started.
