Real Salt Lake announces roster update. Biggest news to me? Willy Agada's contract expires and is eligible for free agency. If Agada chooses to stay in MLS, I think he'll have plenty of options. Analysis on RSL (and all other clubs who announced): www.nytimes.com/athletic/673...

Welcome to New England! 🔵🔴 #NERevs names Marko Mitrović as the club’s head coach. ➥ nerevs.us/498gsIL

What an incredible rookie season it’s been for Niall Reid-Stephen! With 16 goals and 10 assists, he’s been named to USL League One All-League First Team. Read about his season here: www.tormentafc.com/news/2025/11...

BREAKING: The New England Revolution will name Marko Mitrovic their next head coach. Mitrovic is the United States U-20 head coach. Also led the USMNT at the Olympics last year. www.nytimes.com/athletic/677...

Wray was assistant GM for two clubs — Toronto in the second half of the 2010s and Columbus the first half of this decade — that had a ton of success. Should be a good hire for St. Louis.

Wray is well-regarded by everyone I talk to around MLS. I’d be happy if I was a St. Louis fan.

Sources: Tata Martino has emerged as the clear frontrunner to be Atlanta United's next head coach. Club still interviewing candidates but clear feeling is Martino likely. w/ @paultenorio.bsky.social @felipecardenas.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/675...

@sanantoniofc.bsky.social forward Juan Agudelo has announced he will retire at the end of the 2025 #USL-C season. The former #USMNT forward played his final four seasons in the USL Championship, recording 21 goals in 114 appearances. www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

The only bright spot tonight has been Matt Corcoran. Best Nashville player on the pitch. He should be a much bigger piece of the team in 2026.

Andy Nájar — at 32 and after a decade beset by recurring knocks — has set MLS career highs in appearances (33) and minutes (2,548). His old high marks were set with D.C. United in 2011!

Ne sont PAS conservés : - Stephen Annor - Femi Awodesu - Ethan Bartlow - Erik Duenas - Michael Halliday - Sebastian Kowalczyk - Damion Lowe - Sergio Santos - Daniel Steres - Junior Urso

Houston Dynamo FC has announced roster updates heading into the 2026 season. 🗞️ https://bit.ly/3L2fNi3

NEWS: Inter Miami has announced a new three-year contract for Lionel Messi, keeping one of soccer’s biggest names in the United States for the foreseeable future. More details from @paultenorio.bsky.social and @tombogert.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/626...

Le ménage d'automne est commencé au #cfmtl. Le club dit au revoir à Bryce Duke, Giacomo Vrioni et Fernando Álvarez, après ne pas avoir exercé leurs options. Rupture de contrat avec Tom Pearce. De hauts salariés (qui ne jouaient pas) qui quittent le club.

BREAKING: Atlanta United have fired head coach Ronny Deila, per sources. w/ @paultenorio.bsky.social @felipecardenas.bsky.social

Niall Reid-Stephen scored a spectacular finish to continue his recent hot streak of eight goals and four assists in the past seven #USL-1 games to earn @tormentafc.bsky.social a 1-1 draw against Spokane Velocity FC. Full Highlights -> www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AtZ...

Truly atrocious piece, too. Screencapping so you don't have to give them the traffic. Literally just an emotionless, robotic summary of the game sheet, with a note telling us that they couldn't even bother getting an editor to skim it The race to the bottom is such garbage

That's a record-setter. @hfdathletic.bsky.social's Kyle Edwards scores his 12th goal of the season - setting a club single-season record - and eighth off the bench - setting a #USL-C single-season record for goals as a substitute - to put the visitors ahead. Second assist for Panayotou tonight.

Sources: A rumor that LAFC and Tata Martino have verbally agreed to terms is premature. I'm told no decision made by LAFC with any candidates and not particularly close yet. Tata Martino likely in mix of names, and would definitely be interested if offered, but nothing close.

CHAMPIONNNSSSSSSSS!!!!! 🏆

FT: @hfdathletic.bsky.social 1, @sacrepublicfc.com 0 Samuel Careaga's second-half goal sends Hartford to the first trophy in the club's history as the visitors claim the second edition of the #USLJagermeisterCup! #AShotAtGlory

The Philadelphia Union have routinely been among the best teams in MLS with some of the lowest first team payrolls each year. Building a roster to compete once that way is hard enough. Overturning the roster several times to do it again and again? It's special.

Not looking at players with the "Pending Option" status yet In terms of "Not Under Contract", eyes on: -Eryk Williamson -Oliver Larraz -Franco Escobar -Ryan Hollingshead -Anthony Markanich -Dayne St. Clair -Walker Zimmerman -Brandon Bye -Justin Haak -Cesar Araujo -Paul Rothrock

Sources: Jim Curtin stepped away from conversations with the New England Revolution, ruling himself out of the running for the job due to family reasons. Curtin likely not to take any job in 2026 due to those family reasons, barring special circumstances.

MLS announces updated GAM totals for all 30 teams after the roster freeze. All remaining GAM will roll over to 2026.... a few teams (Minnesota United and San Diego FC in particular) set up with a ton of flexibility for the offseason already.
