The New England Revolution have parted ways with head coach Jay Heaps, sources confirmed to Goal on Monday night.
The news comes after a week that saw the Revs suffer a pair of emphatic defeats, including a 7-0 thrashing against Atlanta United with New England down to nine men.
The recent losses effectively took New England out of playoff contention, leaving the Revs seven points behind the sixth-place New York Red Bulls despite having played one more match.
Hired after the 2011 season to replace longtime coach Stevie Nicol, Heaps spent six seasons in charge of the Revolution, leading New England to an MLS Cup final in 2014, which the Revs lost to the LA Galaxy in extra time.
