A New York native and former goalkeeper for the New York Cosmos, Tenjo will lead roster development for the men’s team ahead of its United Soccer League Championship debut in 2026 and continue building on the women’s team’s success in the USL Super League, according to a press release.
Tenjo’s playing career includes a Copa Sudamericana championship (2015), two Superliga Postobón titles (2013, 2015) and a La Liga Postobón championship (2014). He spent four seasons with the Cosmos from 2016 to 2020.
Outside the field, Tenjo brings extensive experience in talent identification and recruitment. Most recently, he served as a director and advisor at TSF Academy, where he specialized in fostering international player adaptation and implementing innovative recruitment strategies. His prior roles include scouting and coaching stints at Kean University and Queensboro FC.
Tenjo expressed his excitement with joining the club.
“2025 will be a pivotal year for Brooklyn Football Club as we focus on building the roster for our men's team ahead of their debut in 2026, while our women's team sets its sights on chasing a championship in its inaugural season in the USL Super League,” Tenjo said. “Being from New York, I have a deep-rooted understanding of the unique soccer culture and dynamic environment of New York City. My familiarity with the city and its diverse communities provides a unique advantage, helping to connect with ethnically diverse talent and its fan base on a meaningful level.”
