Coaching career

Murphy was the director of the soccer academy at St. Stephen's Episcopal School from 2003 to 2016. Before this, he was the director of coaching for the South Texas Youth Soccer Association.[1]

Orlando City

On January 15, 2016, Murphy joined Orlando City SC of Major League Soccer as an assistant coach.[1] Almost seven months later, on July 7, Murphy was named the interim head coach of Orlando City after Adrian Heath was relieved of his duties.[2] His first match as interim head coach occurred on July 8 against the Houston Dynamo. The match ended 0–0.[3] Following the hiring of Jason Kreis, Murphy resumed his role as assistant coach and technical coordinator of the club's U.S. Soccer development academy.[4] After Kreis was relieved of his duties in 2018, Murphy once again served as interim head coach until James O'Connor was hired, who did not retain Murphy.
