Pre-season

Initial player allocations

As part of Major League Soccer's first season, teams were each allocated four marquee players before the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft. On October 17, 1995, MLS allocated defender Alexi Lalas and defender Mike Burns to the Revolution.[1] Lalas was a United States national team regular who had played in the 1992 Summer Olympics[3] and 1994 FIFA World Cup[4] and was under contract with Padova in Italy's Serie A, while Burns had played alongside Lalas for the United States in the 1992 Olympics[3] and was playing for Viborg FF in Denmark's Superliga at the time.

On February 5, 1996, MLS allocated American goalkeeper Jim St. Andre of the A-League's New York Centaurs and Italian forward Giuseppe Galderisi, Lalas' teammate at Padova, to the Revolution.[1]

First head coach

On January 4, 1996, the team named Frank Stapleton the first head coach of the New England Revolution.[1] Stapleton was an Irish international who had played for Arsenal, Manchester United, Ajax, Blackburn Rovers, and Bradford City among others.[5]
