The New England Revolution have extended the contracts of Curt Onalfo and Chris Tierney.
Onalfo is New England’s new Senior Vice President of Soccer Operations, while Tierney is now the Revolution’s General Manager and Chief Soccer Officer. Both will report to Revolution President Brian Bilello.
The change sees Onalfo move to having a focus on Revs II, the Revolution Academy and overall soccer operations. Tierney will be more focused on the first-team. He will oversee the first-team roster and technical staff.
Tierney has been involved with the first team for quite some time. Tierney most recently served as assistant sporting director since 2024, after terms as the club’s director of soccer operations (2022-23) and player recruitment manager (2019-22).
“The Revolution are fortunate to have two top-class professionals leading our sporting department in Curt Onalfo and Chris Tierney. Each of them brings a unique perspective and experience to the club, but more importantly, they are excellent collaborators who share a vision for our club’s future,” Revolution president Brian Bilello said in a statement. “As MLS continues to grow, so does the importance of balancing a win-now approach at the first-team level, where we aim to compete for trophies every year, with a sustainable system for player identification and development. These promotions allow us to continue benefiting from the expertise of these two senior leaders as we embark on a new era in MLS.”
Tierney has been someone who has been making waves. In The Atheltic's 2026 Anonoymous Executive Survey, Tierney was named the next No.2 to become a CSO.
Now, that opportunity will come in New England.
