Campbell University

Champenois enters his second year on staff ahead of the 2026 season.

In his first season, Champenois helped the Camels to 10 wins and the No. 2 seed in the CAA south division. The Camels defeated UNCW 4-0 in the first round of the CAA tournament, and the team won six home games on the year. Under his coaching, goalkeeper Max Leviton was named to the all-conference second team. 

Champenois joined Campbell after spending the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Florida International, primarily working with goalkeepers. He helped the Panthers to the American Athletic Conference double and third round of the NCAA Tournament in 2022 and an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament in 2023. During the 2024 season, he helped FIU to a runner-up finish in the AAC tournament.

Prior to FIU, Champenois spent three seasons as an assistant coach at NC State from 2019-21, again working with goalkeepers. He helped the Wolfpack earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament berth in 2019 after a fifth-place finish in a highly-competitive ACC. He aided in the development of CoSIDA All-American and All-Conference keeper Leon Krapf, who finished his career with the second-most shutouts in program history.

Before his time in Raleigh, Champenois served as an assistant coach at New Mexico from 2016-19. In his first season with the program, the Lobos won the Conference USA tournament and reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament. 

Champenois has coached 20-plus players who went on to play professionally including MLS SuperDraft first round pick Simon Afrifa (Sporting KC) and third round pick Mikey Appiah (Inter Miami).

Before joining the coaching ranks, Champenois was a four-year goalkeeper standout from 2012-15 at Saint Mary's in California. He served as team captain and finished his career third all-time in program history in goals against average (1.23). During his senior season in 2015, Champenois led the West Coast Conference (WCC) in shutouts, goals allowed, and goals against average (0.95), while also earning Second Team All-WCC honors. 

A native of Mountain View, California, Champenois holds a U.S. Soccer Federation 'D' License and is fluent in French and proficient in Spanish. He got his start in coaching in 2015, serving as an assistant coach with Diablo Football Club in Concord, California.
