Conner Cappelletti

Following the 2018 PDL season, Lane United head coach John Galas departed the club to become an assistant coach at FC Tucson; Cappelletti was promoted to become the Reds' new head coach. He became just the second head coach in club history. To fill out his staff, Cappelletti hired his youth and college teammate Chace Zanaty as an assistant and brought in former American international Nate Jaqua as strikers coach. In his first game in charge of the Reds, Cappelletti and Lane United earned a 1–1 draw against Victoria Highlanders on May 10, 2019. Lane United finished with a 5–4–5 record in Cappelletti's lone season in charge, equaling the best record in club history.

On November 26, 2019, Cappelletti resigned as Lane United head coach and also departed as LCC head coach. He and his fiancée moved to Ohio, where Cappelletti took a position as a coach at Cincinnati-area youth club Cincinnati United SC. Cappelletti departed Lane United with a 5–4–5 record from his lone season in charge and ended his Titans tenure with a record of 16–18–9.

A native of Kent, Washington, Cappelletti grew up in Alabama and attended Bob Jones High School, where he was a three-sport athlete. After playing youth football with Valley FC and Birmingham United, he spent his first two years of college at Wallace State Community College before transferring to Valparaiso University. Cappelletti played while in school with Indiana Invaders and Kansas City Brass, both in the Premier Development League, and played three more years after graduating: two seasons in the National Premier Soccer League with Rocket City United and a pair of friendly matches with Lane United. Three years after ending his club career, he was called up for the first and only time by Guam, earning three caps at the 2017 EAFF E-1 Football Championship.

Cappelletti transitioned into coaching during his playing career, taking charge of youth and high school teams before taking a job as an assistant coach with Lane United following his playing retirement. In 2017, he was named the head coach at Lane Community College, and in 2019 doubled up when he was promoted to head coach at Lane United. He stepped down from both positions in November 2019.

While still working as an assistant coach at Lane United, Cappelletti was named as the interim head coach at Lane Community College (LCC) on June 20, 2017. Without a formal announcement, he became the permanent head coach for the Titans before the 2017 season had even begun. His first game in charge of Lane ended in a 3–2 victory over Skagit Valley on August 24. Lane finished with a 5–9–0 record in Cappelletti's first season in charge, but recovered to go 6–6–3 in 2018, the program's best record since being brought back from hiatus. In 2019, the Titans led their region of the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) through seven games; they ended up finishing second and qualified for the NWAC playoffs for the first time in program history. Although the Titans were defeated in the regional playoff by Everett, Cappelletti was named as the Southern Region Co-Coach of the Year.

In October 2016, three years after ending his club career, Cappelletti was called up for the first time by the Guam national team for the 2017 EAFF E-1 Football Championship. Although he was in the squad as a player, Cappelletti said he was excited for the callup as a "learning tool for coaching" and that he would be able to see firsthand what coaching is like at the national team level. He made his Guamanian debut on November 6, 2016, replacing Ian Mariano at halftime of an eventual 3–2 defeat against Hong Kong. Cappelletti appeared in all three of Guam's matches at the tournament and was not called up again by the country.

For two seasons, Cappelletti played college soccer at Wallace State, serving as a team captain as a sophomore. He earned NJCAA All-Region honors in both seasons, with the Lions going 15–3–0 under his leadership in 2008. Academically, he was named to the President's List in May 2009. Following his two years at Wallace State, he was recruited and received a scholarship to attend Valparaiso University and play under head coach Mike Avery. Joining Cappelletti in transferring to Valpo was his Wallace State teammate Roby Del Giudice; the Crusaders' 2009 recruiting class would also include Stefan Antonijevic.

Cappelletti returned to the Pacific Northwest in 2013, joining newly-formed PDL club Lane United. Although the club did not begin league play until the 2014 season, they did play several friendly matches over the summer of 2013. Cappelletti appeared for the Reds in the first match in club history, a 3–0 defeat against Portland Timbers U23s on July 18. He did not continue as a player once the club began league play, however, and ended his club career by accepting a role as an assistant coach with Lane United. While serving with the Reds, he additionally worked as a coach for local youth club Eugene Timbers.

On September 1, 2009, Cappelletti made his Division I and Valparaiso debut, starting in a 2–0 victory over Eastern Illinois. He played the full 90 minutes, anchoring a Crusader backline that allowed just four shots on target. He went on to appear in 13 matches during his junior season, including starting in all three games Valpo played that year against ranked opponents. Cappelletti was chosen to play less as a senior: he appeared in just six matches for the Crusaders. His lone start of the year came in his final collegiate game, as he played the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 victory over Detroit on November 6, 2010. Cappelletti played 19 matches over his two seasons with the Crusaders and was part of Valpo squads that earned two consecutive winning seasons for the first time in the team's history.
