The New England Revolution finally made the appointment of their seventh head coach in franchise history official on Thursday. For Tottenham Hotspur and the United States Men’s National Team goalkeeping legend Brad Friedel will take over coaching duties for the Revs.
Friedel, unlike his predecessor, comes into Foxborough without any prior ties to the Revolution. This marks a change of heart for New England ownership, electing to search outside its community for a coach.
A fresh mind on the sideline brings some relief for the Revs. Friedel’s analytic approach and patience could foreshadow major positive changes for the Revs.
