New England Revolution made a coaching change in 2025 and are rebuilding their squad.
Club Situation & Season Status
The 2025 New England Revolution season has been tough. The team missed the Leagues Cup and is far from playoff contention in Major League Soccer. In the U.S. Open Cup, they exited in the Round of 16.
They started the year under head coach Caleb Porter. In September 2025, the club fired Porter before the season ended. Assistant coach Pablo Moreira is now the interim head coach.
Earlier in the year, they sold young talent Esmir Bajraktarević to PSV Eindhoven. To strengthen the attack, they signed Luis Diaz on a free transfer and added experienced forward Maximiliano Urruti. They also called up Revolution II forward Sharod George for a short-term contract.
Recent Matches & Performance
New England Revolution recently faced Philadelphia Union and lost 1-0 after a second-half goal. Defender Peyton Miller received a red card in that match, leaving the team with ten players.
Before that, they broke a nine-game winless run by beating D.C. United 2-0. Goals came from Leo Campana and Carles Gil, and goalkeeper Matt Turner kept a clean sheet.
The midseason period was especially difficult with long stretches without victories.
Key Players & New Additions
- Tanner Beason: A reliable defender who joined late in 2024 and remains key in the back line.
- Alhassan Yusuf: A Nigerian midfielder signed to add depth and control in the center of the field.
- Peyton Miller: A young academy defender who is gaining first-team experience.
- Carles Gil: The creative force in midfield and the team’s primary playmaker.
These players are essential for stability while new signings adjust and younger talents develop.
Coaching & Leadership Changes
The decision to part ways with Caleb Porter shows how serious the club is about improving results. Poor performances and a lack of progress led to the change. Pablo Moreira now guides the squad on an interim basis.
Sporting Director Curt Onalfo continues to manage roster moves and oversees long-term planning while the search for a permanent head coach continues.
Academy, Reserve Team & Youth Development
New England Revolution operate a reserve team known as Revolution II that plays in MLS Next Pro. This team is an important bridge for academy graduates. It gives young players the chance to compete at a higher level and prepare for the senior team.
Several academy players have already been called up to the first team, proving the value of their youth system.
Transfer & Roster Moves
Key roster changes for 2025 include:
- Selling Esmir Bajraktarević to PSV Eindhoven.
- Signing Luis Diaz to strengthen the attack.
- Adding veteran forward Maximiliano Urruti for experience.
- Promoting Sharod George from Revolution II on a short-term deal.
These moves reflect the club’s goal of balancing young talent with proven professionals.
Challenges & Outlook
The New England Revolution face significant challenges in 2025. They need to improve consistency, rebuild confidence, and find a permanent head coach to lead the team forward. A mix of experienced signings and homegrown players provides hope for future success.
Strong performances from leaders like Carles Gil and steady contributions from new players will be key to regaining competitive form in Major League Soccer and domestic cups.
