BRADENTON, Fla. – The prevailing theme of the New England Revolution’s 2018 preseason is the sense of a fresh start under head coach Brad Friedel, and perhaps no one on the Revolution roster could benefit from that clean slate more than Krisztián Németh.
The 29-year-old forward battled through a tumultuous 2017, missing extended time through injury before moving from Qatari club Al-Gharafa SC to the Revolution in mid-August. Németh then struggled with another injury upon joining the Revs, limiting him to just six appearances and 177 total minutes, hampering his ability to settle into the squad.
