The Portuguese center-back never quite caught on during his loan period in New England.
The New England Revolution have waived Samba, their first-ever loanee from club partner and Portuguese side Sporting CP, an anonymous source confirmed on Monday.
Samba, who the Revs originally took on loan back on Jan. 22, only made two appearances in the 2016 MLS regular season. He made a one-minute cameo appearance in a 2-0 home win against the Chicago Fire on May 14, only to start the following week in a 4-2 loss at the hands of FC Dallas on Gillette Stadium’s turf.
