The New England Revolution have been without a head coach since Sept. 15, when they fired Caleb Porter. Now, a source has confirmed to SportsCenter 5 that they’re expected to bring Marko Mitrovic to Foxborough.”I was always wondering if he would attempt to spread his wings and go off and try to get a head coaching job. What you get with him is honesty, directness. He’s never going to, I think, sugarcoat things when it comes to how he speaks with fans and media. He values the ball, he values possession, he values players who are technically proficient and technically comfortable under pressure,” said Dax McCarty, an MLS season pass analyst and a former player who was on the Chicago Fire when Mitrovic was an assistant coach.The 47-year-old Serbian has coached the United States U-19, U-23, and U-20 international teams. He has yet to lead a club as head coach, but McCarty believes his resume will help younger players on the roster, like Peyton Miller, develop.”He really values relationships with guys off the field. He was a guy who I got along with really well. That’s something that the modern player really appreciates,” said McCarty.The Revs finished the 2025 season 17 points out of the playoffs and have missed meaningful soccer for the last two years.McCarty said, “He needs time to assess the roster and to figure out where things have gone wrong in New England the last couple of years, but I like the roster in New England. I think it’s a playoff roster.”The club has also now had three coaches since 2023, so fans are desperate for positive results.This news was first reported by The Athletic.
