HEAD COACH GIOVANNI SAVARESE Entering his first season with the club after being named head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese, the third head coach in Portland’s MLS history, brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the past five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 6526-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch. Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas. Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012. Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996. After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club. The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel. Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterward, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders. In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes. Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese On the match… “We knew it was going to be a tough game. We knew it was going to be a big game, very physical and high intensity. From the first half to the second half – two different halves. There were moments that they were good going forward and other moments when we looked dangerous. The most important part is that we were able to score the third goal and that we responded right away. As soon as they scored a goal, we responded right away and I thought that showed how mentally strong the team was today.” On getting their first regular-season win in Seattle… “For me, the most important part was the three points. We were able to do it on a difficult field. They looked good and played well and put a big challenge up for us, but thank God we were able to find the solutions to score the goals that we needed. I thought a lot times we did well to cover the spaces and not allow them to get the ball in between our lines, which was very important today.” Portland Timbers defender Larrys Mabiala On the team today and scoring on two corner kicks… “Everybody was just very focused on the victory. In the last three games we could not get a victory, but I think we showed some good things today. We wanted very hard to show everybody that we can still get three points. This was the best time for us to show everybody that the Portland Timbers are still alive.” On the team finally winning here in Seattle… “We are very happy about that. The goal is the same. We take all the games one by one and we just want to keep going this way. Playing better games after games. That is very good for the statistics, and for the fans and for everybody that we won today. We want to keep going so that next week we just want to do the same.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES SATURDAY, JULY 7, 2018 SCOUTING SAN JOSE
UPCOMING MILESTONES
San Jose enter Saturday’s match riding three straight draws in league play since June 13, drawing the New England Revolution 2-2, Real Salt Lake 1-1 and the LA Galaxy 3-3 most recently on June 30. While playing away from home, the Earthquakes have produced a 1-5-3 record in nine matches away from Avaya Stadium. Saturday’s game marks the first of back-to-back away games for the Earthquakes. Forward Danny Hoesen leads the team in goals scored (10), while midfielder Vako has the most assists (4).
With a win or a draw in Saturday’s match, the Timbers, who are currently riding a 12-game unbeaten streak across all competitions, would extend their unbeaten run to 13 games since April 14. Additionally, it would mark Portland’s 11th straight home game without a loss against San Jose in MLS regular-season play.
HEADS UP Through their first 15 games in league play, the Timbers have recorded the most headed goals (9) in MLS, with defender Larrys Mabiala scoring the team’s last three headers in their last two matches (June 24-30). With the three-goal production, Mabiala has recorded four total goals in 2018, all headers, ranking tied with Josef Martinez and Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the second-most headed goals in the league in 2018.
SCORING AT HOME Since the start of the 2016 season, the Timbers have been one of the most prolific home teams in the league, with 83 goals scored at Providence Park. Portland’s 83 goals since 2016 rank tied as the fourth-most in the league, behind only New York City FC (89) and Toronto FC (88), Columbus Crew SC (86), Houston Dynamo (86) and the New York Red Bulls (86), despite playing at least three fewer home games than each of those teams over the the last three seasons in league play.
With his next start, defender Alvas Powell will record 100 starts in MLS play since joining Portland in 2014. With his next three appearances, midfielder Sebastián Blanco will tally 50 games played in MLS.
FACING SAN JOSE In 10 games played between the two clubs at Providence Park, the Timbers have produced an undefeated record against the Earthquakes, tallying seven wins and three draws since 2011. The seven wins are tied for the most home wins by the Timbers against a single MLS opponent. Portland also has recorded seven home wins against the Colorado Rapids.
MLS ALL-STAR Selected by MLS fans, midfielder Diego Valeri was voted to the 2018 MLS AllStar Fan XI presented by Target, marking the fifth time in six seasons Valeri has been recognized as an MLS All-Star. Valeri is the third player in MLS history to earn MLS MVP, MLS Cup MVP, five MLS All-Star and three MLS Best XI honors, joining former MLS players Dwayne De Rosario and Landon Donovan. The MLS All-Stars will face Juventus at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Aug. 1.
HOME FORM Despite playing their first five games of the 2018 campaign away from home, the Timbers still maintain one of the strongest home records since the start of the 2016 campaign. During that stretch, Portland has recorded 27 wins (27-5-8) at home, which ranks tied as the second-most in the league, despite playing fewer games than MLS teams ranked in the top five for home wins during that span.
SET PIECE THREAT Reigning MLS MVP Diego Valeri has recorded a league-high four assists direct from set pieces this season. The four dead-ball assists is the most Valeri has had in a single season and ties David Guzman (4 in 2017) for the most set-piece assists in a single season by a Timbers player.
ATTACKING ON THE BREAK Heading into Saturday’s match, the Timbers have scored the third-most goals in the league on the break, with Portland producing three goals in 15 plays on the counter. Only three teams - Vancouver Whitecaps FC (7), Atlanta United FC (5) and the New England Revolution (4) - have scored more goals on the break in 2018.
BETWEEN THE PIPES Jeff Attinella has tallied five clean sheets in 10 games across all competitions in 2018, averaging just 0.7 goals against per game, which ranks as the lowest GAA in the league. Additionally, Attinella’s 404-minute clean-sheet streak (April 14-May 19) is the longest by a Timbers goalkeeper in MLS play. As a team, the Timbers have conceded the fourth-fewest goals (19) in the league this season.
CLEAN-SHEET VICTORIES Prior to the team’s 2-1 win over LAFC, the Timbers recorded three consecutive shutout victories for the first time in their MLS era and the first time across all eras in club history (since 1975) since a four-game shutout streak in the 2007 campaign (June 28-July 13, 2007). Dating back to the start of the 2015 MLS campaign, the Timbers are tied for the fifth-most clean sheets in MLS, with 30 shutouts during that stretch.
2018 FIFA WORLD CUP Timbers midfielder David Guzmán made three straight starts in the 2018 FIFA World Cup for Costa Rica, facing Brazil, Switzerland and Serbia in the group stage. With those appearances, Guzmán became the first active Timbers player to to make an appearance in a World Cup match.
