The New England Revolution fired head coach Caleb Porter in his second season on Monday.
The Revolution are 8-14-8 (32 points) and in 11th place in the MLS Eastern Conference. They are 10 points out of the final playoff position in the conference and also failed to qualify for the postseason in Porter’s debut season.
The 2024 club tied a franchise record for losses by finishing 9-21-4 (31 points).
Assistant coach Pablo Moreira will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
“I am very grateful to Caleb Porter for the energy, effort and dedication he has brought to the Revolution over the last two years,” sporting director Curt Onalfo said. “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.”
Porter acknowledged the club’s room for improvement when he spoke to reporters on Sept. 7.
“I believe the team is on the right track, but the results haven’t reflected that,” he said. “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, 50, coached two teams that won MLS Cups: the Portland Timbers in 2015 and Columbus Crew in 2020.
New England never has won an MLS Cup but has reached five finals, most recently doing so in 2014.
