The New England Revolution on Tuesday announced that the club and midfielder Kalifa Cisse have mutually agreed to terminate the player's contract.

“We want to thank Kalifa for his time with us and wish him well on his future opportunities,” Revolution general manager Michael Burns said in a statement. “He has been a true professional and a great mentor for our young squad, so we wish him the best as he moves on.”
