Changing coaches often means changing playing styles, and the decision to hire Oscar Pareja as head coach means the Colorado Rapids of 2012 may look quite different from the teams of 2010-11.

Giving Pareja the reins of his first MLS team is going to create a roster shakeup. The Colombian, a veteran of MLS campaigns from 1998 through 2005, has already talked about the need to find a Carlos Valderrama-type playmaker for the Rapids.

Today Colorado made it official and hired Oscar Pareja as the team's 7th head coach. The Rapids say 6th but I like to count Roy Wegerle's 1 game as player/manager at the end of the 1996 season. ;) There's been no details as to the amount or length of his contract other than "long" according to Tim Hinchey at the press conference.

Multiple sources are reporting that the Rapids have decided on Oscar Pareja as their new head coach. Some are saying the announcement could come as early as tomorrow. As mentioned yesterday Pareja had a long career at FC Dallas and then moved into the coaching ranks there, eventually being put in charge of Dallas' youth program, considered to be the most successful thus far in MLS (in admittedly a short 5 years since the youth initiative was announced).
