The Swope Park Rangers announced today that the club has added former MLS defender Chris Martinez as an assistant coach ahead of the 2018 season.
Martinez’s addition rounds out head coach Paulo Nagamura’s technical staff, joining goalkeeper coach Gavin McInerney and fitness coach James Collins – who steps up from his role with the Sporting KC Academy. Joey Harty, who served as the team's fitness coach in 2017, will assist Mateus Manoel with the Sporting KC first team moving forward.
Martinez heads to Kansas City from the Colorado Rapids, where he most recently held the title of Development Academy Program Director.
