Merrimack coach Joe Gallo has agreed a new 10-year contract that will tie him to the program until 2035, sources told ESPN.

Gallo guided the Warriors through their transition to Division I in 2019 and has won three league titles in six years at the D-I level.

Gallo, who played at Merrimack and began his coaching career there as an assistant coach under Bert Hammell from 2005-09, took over the program in 2016 after stints on staffs at Dartmouth and Robert Morris. He went 61-34 in three seasons in Division II, reaching the NCAA tournament in all three campaigns.

Merrimack joined Division I in 2019, with Gallo leading them to the NEC regular-season title in year one. The Warriors would win three regular-season titles in their first five years at the D-I level, and also won the NEC tournament in 2023, but were ineligible to participate in the NCAA tournament during their transition to D-I.

In 2024-25, the program’s first season in the MAAC, Merrimack finished second in the regular-season standings before falling in the semifinals of the conference tournament. The Warriors went 18-15 overall and 14-6 in league play.

Overall, Merrimack is 72-34 in conference play under Gallo since moving to Division I.
