Steve Nicol's trusty number two stepped down.
Oct 17, 2009 6:59:31 PM
Following the match tonight against the Chicago Fire, New England Revolution assistant coach Paul Mariner will resign his post to pursue an opportunity abroad.
"Paul has been a tremendous asset to the Revolution and was respected by every member of our organization during his time with us,” Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. “While we’re disappointed to see him leave us, we wanted to allow Paul to pursue this opportunity. We wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors."
"I wish to thank everyone that I’ve worked with at the Revolution who have been so supportive, including the Kraft family and Steve Nicol,” Mariner said. “I have had a wonderful experience with this club, but I was presented with an offer that is very special to me personally, and I could not pass it up."
Mariner's destination has yet to be revealed, but rumors link him with the recently vacated assistant manager position at Plymouth Argyle, the club where he began his career.
In his six years with the Revs, Mariner helped the team reach the Major League Soccer cup final three times, win the 2007 U.S. Open Cup, and win the 2009 SuperLiga title.
