Sarachan played four seasons at Illinois-Chicago and helped guide the Flames to three NCAA Tournament appearances, including the 2007 Elite Eight. He delivered the game-winning goal during the 2007 Sweet 16 against Creighton at Morrison Stadium.
Following his playing career, Sarachan worked as an agent with Wasserman Media Group and represented multiple players, including Creighton alumnus Ethan Finlay.
Sarachan started his coaching career in July of 2012 as an assistant coach for the LA Galaxy’s U-14 and U.S. Soccer Development Academy U-16 teams. He transitioned to assistant coach of the Galaxy’s USSDA U-18 team in January of 2013 where he worked with current LAFC assistant coach, Ante Razov.
