Onalfo, the Revolution’s Sporting Director since 2023, will now be responsible for leading the club’s soccer operations and player development pathway, which includes the Revolution Academy and MLS NEXT Pro side Revolution II.
“I am thrilled to step into the role of Senior Vice President of Soccer Operations,” Onalfo said. “This new position gives me the opportunity to leverage my experience and expertise to drive success across the entire organization, and it will allow me to dedicate even more focus to player development, an area I am deeply passionate about. I believe our Pro Pathway has already established itself as one of the strongest in the country, yet I see tremendous potential for further growth and excellence. I am equally delighted to see Chris Tierney receive this well-deserved promotion.

After an 11-year playing career with the Revolution and seven years in the club’s front office, Tierney has been elevated to General Manager and Chief Soccer Officer.
In his new position, the Wellesley, Massachusetts native will oversee the first-team roster and technical staff after previously serving as Player Recruitment Manager, Director of Soccer Operations, and Assistant Sporting Director.
“This opportunity is a great honor and an even bigger responsibility, and as a lifelong member of this club, it is one that I take seriously. I’m grateful to Robert and Jonathan Kraft, Brian, and Curt for their trust and guidance over the years, and to all the Revolution fans for their support over the years,” Tierney added. “After 11 years as a player and now seven years in the front office, I still enjoy coming to work every day with the singular goal of making my hometown club better and helping us compete for trophies on a consistent basis.”

These promotions allow us to continue benefiting from the expertise of these two senior leaders as we embark on a new era in MLS.”
