Overview
- Multiple outlets report the Rapids are expected to hire Tottenham assistant Matt Wells, with a formal announcement anticipated soon, and neither club has publicly commented.
- Wells, 37, is on Thomas Frank’s staff at Spurs after prior stints under Ange Postecoglou and Scott Parker, and this would be his first senior managerial job.
- Reporting indicates Colorado interviewed a wide range of domestic and international candidates before settling on Wells.
- The Athletic says Wells has participated in early offseason planning as the Rapids pursue alignment around a young core that includes Paxten Aaronson, Zack Steffen and Cole Bassett.
- Goal adds that a potential Rafael Navarro exit could open a Designated Player slot, and Wells’ move would be the first notable change to Frank’s Tottenham staff, where he is the lone holdover from Postecoglou’s group.
