 Greg Margolis completed his fourth season at the helm of the Buffalo State women's soccer program in 2024, leading the Bengals to their most wins and first playoff birth since 2016. Margolis's Bengals got off to the best start in program history in 2023, with a 5-0-1 record through the first six games. Over the four seasons in charge of the program, Margolis has rebuilt the team from the ground up, playing a brand of soccer that has broken various records and highlights a quality style of play in the Western New York region.

Before joining Buffalo State, Margolis served as the head coach of both the women’s and men’s soccer programs at Elmira College during the 2020-21 season.  Prior to Elmira, he spent one season as an assistant coach with the women’s program at Williams College. During his time with the Williams women's program, Margolis was responsible for recruiting, scouting, performed sports psychology on a group and individual basis, and assisted in all practice and game planning, with a focus on the defensive tactical setup for the team. He helped the Ephs reach the 2019 NCAA Quarterfinals and obtain a national year-end ranking of No. 13. He also coached the NESCAC Player of the Year and a pair of United Soccer Coaches All-Americans. 

Before Williams, Margolis served as the assistant coach for the women's soccer team at Allegheny College (2018-19) and men's soccer program at Methodist University (2017-18). Similar to his role at Williams, Margolis was responsible for the recruiting efforts, scouting, tactical analysis, and culture building at both programs. 

He began his coaching career with the men’s program at Springfield College as an assistant coach from 2012-16, helping the team capture the 2016 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) title, as well as a pair of ECAC New England Regional championships.

Margolis is a 2012 graduate from Ursinus College with a bachelor’s degree in exercise and sport science with a minor in coaching. He then completed his master’s in sport and exercise psychology, as well as a doctorate in sport and exercise psychology from Springfield in 2014 and 2017, respectively.
