The New England Revolution have found their new head coach. 

Marko Mitrovic has been named to the role, the Eastern Conference club announced Friday. Mitrovic brings over 15 years of coaching experience into his new role in MLS. 

“We’re really excited to welcome Marko Mitrović as head coach of the New England Revolution,” Sporting Director Curt Onalfo said. “During the interview process, Marko’s tactical acumen and modern coaching philosophies set him apart. It’s crystal clear that he shares our ambitions to compete for trophies in 2026 and beyond. His extensive coaching experience at both the club and international levels, including on some of the world’s biggest stages, have prepared him well for this pivotal role.”

The 47-year-old Mitrovic arrives in New England fresh off coaching involvement at the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile. He led the Americans to advancement out of the group stage, as well as a Round of 16 victory over Italy.

Prior to becoming USMNT U-20 head coach, Mitrovic served in the same role with the Under-23’s in 2023. He led the program to the quarterfinals of the 2024 Olympic Games in France. Mitrovic also worked as USMNT U-19 head coach from 2022-23.

This will mark Mitrovic’s second MLS stint after previously serving as an assistant coach for the Chicago Fire from 2016-19. He also worked with then-English Championship side Reading from 2020-22.

New England failed to make the MLS Cup Playoffs in 2025, missing out on the final playoff spot by 17 points.
