The Colorado Rapids are poised to name Tottenham Hotspur assistant coach Matt Wells to be the team's next manager, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN. Wells, 37, replaces Chris Armas, whose contract expired at the end of the 2025 season, and was unable to reach an agreement with the MLS club on a new deal. The London-born Wells is expected to arrive in Colorado next week following Sunday's game against Nottingham Forest. Sources tell ESPN that Wells will be bringing several assistant coaches with him, but that current Rapids assistant and goalkeeper coach Chris Sharpe will remain on the staff.

Carnell emphasizes the importance of treating people well, stating, 'One of the best things I've learnt from Chris is how he treats people and puts people first.'

"In soccer, the hardest thing to do is score goals. In these games lately, we have been hurting ourselves a bit and we're experiencing the effects of how goals change games."
