FOXBORO – The New England Revolution have appointed Caleb Porter as head coach, the club announced Tuesday. Porter, a two-time MLS Cup winner with nine seasons of managerial experience in Major League Soccer, becomes the ninth official head coach in club history.

Porter replaces Bruce Arena as coach.

Porter, 48, is one of only six coaches to win multiple MLS Cup championships, and one of three to do so with more than one club, having led both the Portland Timbers (2015) and Columbus Crew SC (2020) to title-winning seasons. He is one of only two active managers currently leading an MLS club to own multiple MLS Cups, along with Seattle’s Brian Schmetzer.

The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year will begin his 10th MLS season with New England in 2024, having compiled a 113-93-89 regular season record to date across five seasons with Portland (2013-17) and four with Columbus (2019-2022).

Porter’s 295 games of experience are eighth most among all coaches currently helming an MLS club, while his .534 career winning percentage stands as the 10th best in MLS history among coaches with at least 200 games on the sideline. In the MLS Cup Playoffs, Porter’s postseason record stands at 9-3-4 (.688) across four playoff campaigns.

“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,” Revolution Sporting Director Curt Onalfo said of New England’s new head coach. “We know he is the right person to lead our team, which we believe is already well positioned to compete for trophies.”
