In a strategic move ahead of the 2025 MLS season, New England Revolution has made significant roster changes. The team traded three players to the San Jose Earthquakes and secured midfielder Mamadou Fofana from the Philadelphia Union. This decision marks a notable shift for the Revolution, who are looking to enhance their competitive edge. Bruce Arena, who has had a storied coaching career, has transitioned from head coach of Revolution to join San Jose Earthquakes as a notable figure in their management staff. Arena leads over a decade of MLS experience, and his addition is anticipated to invigorate the Earthquakes’ strategy going forward.
Mamadou Fofana, who previously played for the Union, adds depth to the Revolution’s midfield. His time with teams in MLS has equipped him with the necessary skills to contribute effectively to New England’s dynamic gameplay.
The Revolution’s decision to trade players to San Jose is seen as a determination to reshape their lineup. The trio, comprising players who have been integral to the Revolution’s squad, now head to California as part of this calculated reshuffle. Further details regarding the specific players involved in the trade or the exact terms have yet to be disclosed, as both teams prepare for the competitive season ahead.
As remarked by a spokesperson for the Revolution, “We believe these changes will not only improve our team but also bring fresh energy and experience as we strive for a successful run in the upcoming seasons.”
