CASA GRANDE, Ariz. – After the New England Revolution announced the signing of Antonio Mlinar Delamea on Tuesday, head coach Jay Heaps said that the next step for the club would be to finalize and announce a second international center back signing.
The Revs completed that step on Friday morning, unveiling 30-year-old Ivorian international Benjamin Angoua, who arrives on loan from Ligue 1 side EA Guingamp with an option to purchase. After landing in Boston on Thursday night, Angoua was aboard the Revs’ flight to Arizona early Friday.
Now, with both Angoua and Delamea in camp, New England’s next step is to thoroughly integrate the duo into the club’s setup – both on and off the field – throughout the next five weeks.
