“We have put in a tremendous amount of hard work to transform the New England Revolution Pro Player Pathway, with the goal of transforming our Academy program into one of the best in the league,” Revolution Technical Director Curt Onalfo said. “Rob Becerra, our Academy Director, and I are very grateful to have the full support of Sporting Director Bruce Arena, President Brian Bilello, and our owners Robert and Jonathan Kraft in achieving that goal. We also extend our gratitude to all the Academy players in our program who contributed to this excellent season.
