Revolution Poised to Appoint U.S. U-20 Coach Marko Mitrovic as Head Coach

His U.S. youth-team pedigree signals a pivot toward academy-driven player development.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets including The Athletic and ESPN report the Revs intend to hire Mitrovic, with ESPN noting a contract has not yet been signed.
  • Club officials have not issued confirmation in all reports, with GOAL recounting the team would neither confirm nor deny the move.
  • Mitrovic, 47, led the U.S. to the 2025 U-20 World Cup quarterfinals and guided the U-23s to the quarterfinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
  • This would be his first professional club head-coaching role, following assistant stints with the Chicago Fire and Reading and earlier youth success with Serbia’s 2015 U-20 World Cup winners.
  • The hire follows Caleb Porter’s Sept. 15 dismissal after an 11th-place finish in 2025, and Mitrovic is expected to steer roster decisions this winter with an eye toward integrating academy talents such as Peyton Miller, Noel Buck and Esmir Bajraktarević.
