The Colorado Rapids have appointed Matt Wells as their new head coach. Wells, 37, joins the club after spending two-plus seasons on the first-team coaching staff at Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League. He worked under highly regarded Head Coaches such as Mauricio Pochettino, Ange Postecoglou, and Thomas Frank. Under Postecoglou, Wells was Assistant Manager for the campaign that saw Tottenham lift the 2024-25 Europa League trophy, marking the club's first European title since 1984. Following a coaching change, Wells was retained as an Assistant Coach for this current Premier League season under Frank, where the club competed in the UEFA Champions League. From 2015 to 2019, Wells worked across multiple age groups within Tottenham's academy system, coaching teams from the U18 through U23 levels. As the U23 coach during Pochettino's tenure at the club, Wells worked diligently with the goal of creating an ideal player pathway to ensure a seamless transition from the youth level to the first team. Wells' coaching staff will be announced at a later date.
