On May 1, 2019, the Colorado Rapids fired manager Anthony Hudson after getting just two points in the first nine matches of the season. After that firing, first under Conor Casey, then Robin Fraser, the Rapids went from the basement of the Western Conference to just missing out on the playoffs on the final day of the season.
It seems as though the Burgundy Boys have turned their fortunes around, becoming a dark horse candidate in the Western Conference. After making it to the postseason only once since 2014, the Rapids appeared poised to finally return to the playoffs again before play was suspended in March, as they were off to a 2-0-0 start for the 2020 season.
