Caleb Porter is out as head coach of the Revolution.
The club announced on Monday that it had “parted ways” with Porter after less than two seasons. New England assistant coach Pablo Moreira will lead the team in its remaining four games as interim head coach.
“I am very grateful to Caleb Porter for the energy, effort, and dedication he has brought to the Revolution over the last two years,” New England Sporting Director Curt Onalfo said via the team’s announcement. “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.”
The Revolution currently sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, and are all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. After tying a club record with 21 losses in 2024, the lack of a postseason appearance in his second year eventually necessitated change. It was a fact which Porter, speaking after a recent loss to Chicago, appeared to acknowledge.
“I believe the team is on the right track, but the results haven’t reflected that,” he said after the club’s 14th loss of the 2025 season on Sept. 7. “That’s the reality. The reality is it’s two years, no playoffs. The reality is that we’ve not won enough games. That’s on me.”
Porter, hired ahead of the 2024 season, came to New England with a track record of having won MLS Cup at each of his two previous stops (Portland and Columbus). Yet despite an increasing level of investment from the club, New England never found a consistent winning formula.
