Mustaq Ahmed returns to the Bluffton University soccer program for his 13th year as a women's assistant coach in 2018. He is also the buildings and grounds supervisor at Bluffton University.

He started the Under-14 travel teams for boys and girls in Bluffton, directing squads in the Northwest Ohio Youth Soccer League. (NYOSL) His first girls' team took home the Spring Championship trophy in 1993.

In 1996, Ahmed started the girls' high school program at Bluffton and he led the team until 2002. While coaching at Bluffton High School, he was named the Division II Coach of the Year by the Ohio High School Athletic Association for District 4. Four times his squads competed in the district championship game and the Pirates were a regional finalist once during his tenure at Bluffton.

Recently, Ahmed led the Under-14 travel team for the West Central United based in Lima from 2004-07.
