""Matt brings extensive Champions League, Europa League and Premier League experience, a proven commitment to player development, and a clear, exciting tactical identity we believe will position our players to excel for trophies," Rapids president Pádraig Smith said. "His track record of success and his ambitions aligns with our long-term vision for the club, and we look forward to elevating the club to Championship contention under his leadership.""
""I'm a very ambitious individual who has been surrounded by elite players and managers for the past seven years, and I'm excited to bring my experience and winning mentality to this organization," Wells said."
""From the very outset of our discussions, it was clear the club shared my ambitions to create something special and compete for the highest honors. Of course, it's a difficult decision to leave a team playing Champions League football, but everything about the people and project at Colorado made the choice clear for me.""
The Colorado Rapids appointed Tottenham Hotspur assistant Matt Wells as head coach, replacing Chris Armas nearly two months after his departure. The club emphasized Wells's Champions League, Europa League and Premier League experience, commitment to player development, and tactical identity as drivers to push the team toward Championship contention. Wells spent over two seasons on Tottenham's staff and coached in the club's academy, and he described himself as ambitious with a winning mentality. The Rapids finished 11-15-8 this year and missed the MLS Cup playoffs. Tottenham coach Thomas Frank expressed support for Wells's new opportunity.
