1999 New England Revolution season

The 1999 New England Revolution season was the fourth season for the New England Revolution both as a club and in Major League Soccer (MLS). As the club did not participate in the 1999 U.S. Open Cup, and did not qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, they participated only in the MLS regular season.[1]

Summary

edit

At the end of the 1998 season, Walter Zenga made history by becoming the league's fist-ever player-manager.[2] Zenga's Revolution showed their intent to return to the playoffs for the first time since 1997 by signing former United States men's national soccer team captain John Harkes, and 1996 MLS All-Stars Giovanni Savarese and Dan Calichman prior to the 1999 Major League Soccer season.[3] Zenga's Revolution got its first win on April 3. The team made several acquisitions in mid-season, including then-highest-paid MLS player of all time Ariel Graziani, two-time MLS Cup champion Mario Gori, two-time MLS All-Star Leonel Alvarez, and Jeff Baicher, but were unable to make a run, going on a ten-game winless streak from early July to early September, then winning only two of their final six matches to round out the season. On September 30, following a loss to the Dallas Burn, the Revolution made a late-season coaching change (for the second year in a row) as Zenga was relieved of his playing and coaching duties and replaced by Steve Nicol for the team's final two matches.[4]

Despite poor on-field performance, fan support remained strong for the Revolution. The club's average home attendance of 16,735 was fourth-highest in the league.[5] Joe-Max Moore's 15 goals tied him for fourth-highest total in the league with San Jose's Ronald Cerritos. Moore, Harkes, and Zenga were all named to the 1999 MLS All-Star Game. Despite these accolades, the Revolution would miss the playoffs for the second season in a row, recording a record of 7 wins and 20 losses, placing fifth in the Eastern Conference and 10th in the overall MLS table.[6]
