Tim Kübel joined the Carolina men’s soccer program as the director of student athlete development and operations in the fall of 2019 after a decorated collegiate career at Louisville.

Kübel graduated with honors from the University of Louisville in 2017 with a degree in finance and minor in marketing. During his time at Louisville, Kübel served as a two-year SAAC president, three-year ACC representative, ACC Gender Equity & Olympic Sports committee member, and three-year team captain.

In December 2019 Kübel was also named to the TopDrawer Soccer ‘College Soccer Best XI of the Decade’ as the best right back of the decade. Kübel finished his career at Louisville with 21 goals and a school-record 26 assists in 82 games. He led the Cards to two back-to-back Elite 8 rounds with scoring a total of seven game winning goals.
Kübel was selected 28th overall in the 2018 MLS Super Draft by Toronto FC’s. While scoring one goal in 22 games during the 2018 season, Kübel also started coaching in the Toronto FC Academy.
