This decision comes as the team, with a record of 8-14-8, is in 11th place in the MLS Eastern Conference and is 10 points away from a playoff spot.

Porter, who was in his second season, also failed to lead the team to the postseason in his first year. Last season, the team had a franchise-record 21 losses.

“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.”

Following the September 7th game, Porter spoke with reporters and admitted the team had areas it needed to work on.

“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.”

Caleb Porter, 50, is a two-time MLS Cup-winning coach, having led the Portland Timbers to victory in 2015 and the Columbus Crew to a championship in 2020. In contrast, the New England Revolution has never won an MLS Cup despite reaching the final five times, most recently in 2014.
