FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – New England Revolution president Brian Bilello teased a pair of international center back signings via Twitter on Monday, and on Wednesday half of the mystery was revealed when Antonio Mlinar Delamea was officially announced as the Revs’ newest addition.
Delamea – along with the yet-to-be-announced second central defender – is a critical piece to the Revolution’s offseason puzzle as the club aims to shore up a defense that conceded what head coach Jay Heaps called “too many goals” in 2016.
“Obviously a big piece of what we were trying to do is add pieces in the back,” Heaps said on Wednesday morning.
