Oscar Pareja steps down as Colorado Rapids head coachOscar Pareja’s time as head coach in Colorado appears to be over, leaving the Rapids with a significant hole in their organization less than two weeks before the MLS SuperDraft. Goal.com’s Ives Galarcep reported on Saturday that Pareja has stepped down from his position in Colorado after two seasons at the helm amid reports that FC Dallas are interested in bringing him back to Texas this season. A former player and assistant coach with FCD more for than a decade, Pareja has reportedly long been the club’s top choice to replace outgoing head coach Schellas Hyndman, who stepped down from the position in November. Current New York Red Bulls assistant coach Robin Fraser is the top candidate to replace Pareja in Colorado, according to the Goal.com report. Former Portland Timbers head coach John Spencer – who suited up for the Rapids from 2001-04 and was a 2010 inductee into the club’s Gallery of Honor – is also a leading candidate, according to the report. The Rapids did not immediately return a request for comment from MLSsoccer.com on Saturday. www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/01/04/report-oscar-pareja-steps-down-colorado-rapids-head-coach
