New England Revolution hired MLS veteran Caleb Porter as the club’s new head coach. Porter will replace U.S. soccer legend Bruce Arena, who left the club midway through the 2023 campaign.

Porter has been out of a job since the end of 2022, being fired by Columbus Crew after the club missed out on MLS Cup playoffs in consecutive seasons.

Revolution considered a number of candidates for their head coaching vacancy, including high-profile names like Bob Bradley and Gio Savarese. However, according to New England’s sporting director Curt Onalfo, Porter separated himself from the pack with his leadership, tactical skills, and proven record of playing winning soccer in MLS.

“Caleb Porter is a gifted and respected coach with more than two decades of coaching experience who has delivered MLS Cup championships to both of his previous clubs. Caleb has consistently demonstrated the leadership and tactical acumen needed to build a winning team in our league,” Onalfo said in a statement. “We know he is the right person to lead our team, which we believe is already well positioned to compete for trophies.”

Caleb Porter had a brief playing career in MLS in the late 1990s but was forced to retire due to injuries. After coaching at the college level and with United States U23, Porter was hired as the head coach of Portland Timbers in 2013.

Porter spent five years with the Timbers, winning MLS Coach of the Year honors in his first season and bringing MLS Cup win to Portland in 2015. He left the franchise on a mutual agreement after the 2017 campaign and spent one year away from coaching before taking over Columbus Crew.

With Crew, Porter won another MLS Cup in 2020 and the Campeones Cup in 2021. He became just the sixth head coach in league history with multiple MLS Cup wins and only the third to do it with two different clubs.
