Wayne State College baseball coach John Manganaro has stepped down to become president of the Ultimate Baseball Academy in Omaha.

Wayne State athletic director Eric Schoh announced the change on Wednesday. Schoh says assistant coach and former Wildcat player Brian Disch has been named interim head coach.

The 55-year-old Manganaro has been a coach of the Wildcats for 20 seasons, including the last 17 as head coach. Manganaro accumulated a 506-309-1 record (.620) and was 198-54 (.785) in the Northern Sun Conference.

Manganaro also is a four-time NSIC Coach of the Year Award recipient and led the Wildcats to five NSIC Tournament titles.
