After 44 years on the bench, longtime Archbishop Ryan boys' soccer coach George Todt is stepping down at the end of this season.
Todt has a career record of 646-161-117, which ranks him first in the state and fifth in the country.
He has won 13 Catholic League crowns: 2003, 1998, '96, '95, '92, '91, '88, '87, '86, '85, '84, '83, and '81.
Ryan, also Ryan's athletic director, missed the 2003 final, a 1-0 triumph over La Salle, due to his son's wedding in England.
His regular-season finale will be Oct. 16 against Catholic League rival Lansdale Catholic.
The Red Raiders will host a Catholic League playoff on Oct. 23, at the field behind the school.
