Colorado Rapids Soccer Club announced today that Fran Taylor has been named assistant general manager. Taylor will report to Executive Vice President & General Manager Pádraig Smith and will assist in all soccer-related functions, including oversight of the club’s data and analytics program.
“In an off-season in which we’re entirely overhauling the way we conduct ourselves on the soccer side, we’re absolutely delighted to welcome Fran to the front office,” said Smith. “He’s a sharp mind, and his experience at Arsenal – both with the scouting and coaching staffs – will play a crucial role in bringing our vision for the future of this club to life.
