FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Throughout his first month with the New England Revolution, head coach Brad Friedel has repeatedly stated his desire to build a fit, committed group, and on Thursday he added “one of the most pivotal figures in that process” with the hiring of Anton McElhone as head of fitness.
McElhone, who spent the past 10 years working with Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League – including four alongside Friedel – brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Revolution as he’s tasked with keeping the players as fit and healthy as possible throughout the grind of a lengthy season.
