New England Revolution Part Ways with Head Coach Caleb Porter

On September 15, 2025, the New England Revolution announced the firing of head coach Caleb Porter after less than two seasons in charge. Porter, who was hired in December 2023, leaves the club with a record of 17 wins, 35 losses, and 12 draws in Major League Soccer (MLS) play, and an overall record of 23 wins, 39 losses, and 13 draws across all competitions. Assistant coach Pablo Moreira has been appointed as the interim head coach for the remainder of the 2025 season.

Porter's tenure was marked by disappointing results, culminating in the Revolution's current position in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, 10 points adrift of the final playoff spot. The team has struggled significantly, finishing last in the league in goals scored during the previous season and experiencing a nine-match winless streak earlier this year. The Revolution's performance under Porter has been characterized by a lack of offensive production, with captain Carles Gil being one of the few players to perform consistently.

Curt Onalfo, the Revolution's sporting director, expressed gratitude for Porter's contributions, stating, “I am very grateful to Caleb Porter for the energy, effort, and dedication he has brought to the Revolution over the last two years. I have the utmost respect for Caleb and all the tireless work he’s invested in the club, and we wish him the best moving forward.” Onalfo is scheduled to address the media regarding the coaching change.

Despite his previous successes, including two MLS Cup titles with the Portland Timbers and Columbus Crew, Porter's inability to replicate that success in New England has drawn criticism. The Revolution's performance has not improved despite significant roster changes and investments made during the offseason. Critics have pointed to the team's failure to qualify for the playoffs in both seasons under Porter as a primary reason for the coaching change.

The Revolution's next match is scheduled against the Philadelphia Union, where they will aim to avoid mathematical elimination from playoff contention. The club will also begin the search for a permanent head coach to lead the team moving forward, as they look to improve their standing in the league and build a more competitive squad for the future.
