Months after completing a historic season, Alabama women’s soccer coach Wes Hart had a new contract approved Friday by the university’s board of trustees’ compensation committee.

Meeting in Birmingham, the committee signed off on Hart receiving a two-year contract extension through Dec. 31, 2027. The deal will pay Hart to $235,000 per year, which athletics director Greg Byrne told the committee will rank fourth in the SEC.

Hart’s previous deal began last year and ran through the 2025 season, paying him $162,000 annually.

Alabama’s soccer program enjoyed its best-ever season last fall, earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament and finishing with a 23-3-1 record. It made its first trip to the College Cup, the final four for college soccer, where it lost to UCLA in the national semifinal.

Hart, 45, is a former Major League Soccer player who has served as Alabama’s coach since 2015.
