Colorado Rapids Announce Phil Neville Has Already Been Reserved To Replace Chris Armas When He Is Eventually Dismissed

Denver, CO - Hot on the heels of their announcement appointing Chris Armas to the head coaching position of the Colorado Rapids, the front office of the Rapids also announced that when Armas is fired for being unable to succeed with a threadbare lineup that they have already reserved Phil Neville to replace him.

“We anticipate that Phil Neville will be available at that time and he is excited to take the chance to coach in Colorado after whatever experience he has in Portland over the next year or two,” stated one Rapids executive.

Sources say that the only way forward from Armas 40% win rate in Major League Soccer is Nevilles 39% win rate in Major League Soccer.

For his part, Neville remains excited by the opportunity as he claimed, “I’ve always enjoyed Denver and feel that it really resembles Manchester.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as the Portland Timbers announce Chris Armas will succeed Phil Neville.
