COMMERCE CITY — Articulate, forceful, businesslike and clearly confident, Anthony Hudson made his public debut Thursday as the eighth head coach in Colorado Rapids history.
More than once, Hudson said he’s ready “to put my stamp” on a soccer club that needs to be retooled. Colorado finished next-to-last in the Western Conference last season (9-19-6, 32 points) and tied for the fewest goals scored in Major League Soccer (31).
“I don’t want to come across as sounding arrogant … but I have a very clear idea of how I want to play and I know what I have to offer in terms of a coach and I know what I can do,” Hudson said during a packed press conference at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
