Manny Matsakis (born April 16, 1962 in New Britain, Connecticut) was the 19th head football coach for Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas and he held that position for four seasons, from 1995 until 1998. His overall coaching record at ESU was 26 wins, 18 losses, and 0 ties. This ranks him fifth at ESU in terms of total wins and fourth at ESU in terms of winning percentage.

In 1999, Matsakis served as the Offensive Coordinator at the University of Wyoming. In 2000, he accepted the position of special teams coach at Texas Tech, where he coached until he became the Head Coach at Texas State (San Marcos) for the 2003 season. Matsakis served only one season as the Bobcats head coach compiling a 4-8 record, to bring his head coaching record to 30-26-0 in four seasons.

Matsakis is a 1984 graduate of Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, where he was a four year letter winner and a three time First Team All-Ohio Athletic Conference selection as a kicker. He still currently holds the school record for longest field goal; making a 54 yarder in 1981.[1]
