SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY AVAYA STADIUM, San Jose, Calif. April 24, 2016 (WEEK 8, MLS Game #73) 12:30 p.m. PT (ESPN / ESPN Deportes) A pair of clubs who have gotten off to solid starts in the early going meet in a key Western Conference as the San Jose Earthquakes play host to Sporting Kansas City at Avaya Stadium on Sunday afternoon before an ESPN audience. The Quakes return home – where they have not lost this season – following a 3-1 defeat at the Portland Timbers last Sunday. Sporting continue their road swing coming off back-to-back losses, last a 2-1 reversal last Sunday at FC Dallas. REFEREE: Jair Marrufo.

The first meeting victory for San Jose was the first win for the road team in the series since 2004, when San Jose won at Arrowhead Stadium. The Quakes victory also snapped an eight-game home winning streak for Sporting vs. the Quakes. Kansas City has not won in San Jose since Aug. 16, 2000. The Quakes have won 10 of the 15 meetings since in northern California, with five draws. Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. SJ: P10 W4 L5 D1 … Dominic Kinnear vs. KC: P28 W11 L7 D10 SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES The San Jose Earthquakes had their undefeated streak put to an end after three matches, falling 3-1 to the Portland Timbers on Sunday evening at Providence Park. The Quakes are in a tie for fifth place in the Western Conference with 11 points from 7 games. LAST MATCH The Timbers took the lead in the 52nd minute. After winning the ball in the midfield, then winning it again in the area with a slide tackle in the penalty area, Jack McInerney tucked a short-range effort just inside the far post. The advantage was doubled 13 minutes later when second-half substitute Fanendo Adi found the back of the net on a counter attack. The Quakes were able to pull a goal back one minute into stoppage time when Chris Wondolowski won a penalty kick then converted himself. After Diego Valeri was sent off with a second yellow card, the Timbers again hit home on a counterattack sprung by Lucas Melano on the right, Adi again finishing it off nine minutes deep into stoppage time to seal the outcome. Quakes head coach Dominic Kinnear made five changes to the team that hit for a 2-0 victory against the New York Red Bulls at Avaya Stadium. Kofi Sarkodie and Kip Colvey came in at fullback in place of Marvell Wynne and Shaun Francis, and Alberto Quintero, Anibal Godoy and Simon Dawkins started in the midfield for Matias Perez Garcia, Tommy Thompson and Shea Salinas. SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES (4-4-2): David Bingham - Kofi Sarkodie, Victor Bernardez, Andres Imperiale, Kip Colvey - Alberto Quintero (Shea Salinas 71), Fatai Alashe (Matias Perez Garcia 82), Anibal Godoy, Simon Dawkins - Chris Wondolowski, Quincy Amarikwa (Innocent Emeghara 71).
MLS GAME INFORMATION
TEAM NEWS The Quakes saw their three-game undefeated streak put to an end in the defeat at Portland. They are still winless away from home (0-2-1), and undefeated at Avaya Stadium (3-0-1). “We played some real good stuff in the first half. Great possession, great movement, some good looks at goal. Would have been nice if they’d gone in with a little bit of a lead. Think we probably deserved that, but sometimes you don’t always get what you deserve,” said Quakes head coach Dominic Kinnear. “Like I said, they were a bit more aggressive in the second half and we lost a couple challenges, led to a goal and then we’re chasing the game.” Said defender Andrés Imperiale: “I think we could collect points here. We need to give credit to the Timbers. They are a very good team. As I said, after the first goal they started to play better. We need to move on. We are a good team. We collect good points at home and we have the next game at home. We need to win that game.” Chris Wondolowski scored his sixth goal of the season, hitting the back of the net for a third consecutive game. He is tied atop the MLS Golden Boot standings with Portland’s Fanendo Adi. The goal was also the 115th league goal in Wondolowski’s 12-year MLS career, now fourth on the league’s alltime leaders. “I think overall we’re really happy with how we played, especially that first half. We just played really well. It was unfortunate not to finish the goals and we got punished for it. I think we still fought hard there at the end and had a chance to get a point out of it,” said midfielder Shea Salinas. Kofi Sarkodie made his first start of the season and his Quakes team debut, coming in at right back and playing the full 90 minutes. Kip Colvey made his first start since March 19, on the left side of the back four. Anibal Godoy also made his first start since March 19 after suffering a knee injury, coming into central midfield and playing the full 90 minutes. “I wouldn’t rotate the squad if I didn’t think the players were good enough,” Kinnear said. “The players have shown enough to me over the course of the season that they deserve to play. … We’re trying to keep guys fresh. For me to get greedy and put guys in the way of getting injured in the long term is a bit silly. Knowing I can rotate and the standard doesn’t drop that much, if it drops at all, is a comfort.” SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City fell to their second consecutive loss, dropping a 2-1 decision to FC Dallas on Sunday evening at Toyota Stadium. Sporting are in fourth place in the Western Conference with 12 points from 7 games. LAST MATCH Sporting took the lead in the 22nd minute when Lawrence Olum headed home a point-blank finish from a Benny Feilhaber corner kick. But FC Dallas were level by the 35th minute as Michael Barrios dispatched an angled strike from the right side of the box, set up by Maxi Urruti and Kellyn Acosta. The game-winner then came in the 68th minute, as Mauro Rosales came off the bench to lash a beautiful game-winning free kick over the wall and past SKC goalkeeper Tim Melia inside the left-hand post. Sporting manager Peter Vermes made five changes to the team that fell to a 2-1 loss to the Colorado Rapids at Children’s Mercy Park. Matt Besler came into central defense for Ike Opara, Benny Feilhaber started in the midfield in place of Jordi Quintilla, and Jimmy Medranda, Dom Dwyer and Brad Davis formed an all-change front line in place of Connor Hallisey, Diego Rubio and Graham Zusi. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Nuno Andre Coelho, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia (Seth Sinovic 70) - Lawrence Olum (Ike Opara 70) - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Jimmy Medranda (Diego Rubio 79), Dom Dwyer, Brad Davis. TEAM NEWS Sporting suffered a second consecutive loss and a third in the last four matches in the defeat at FC Dallas. It was their first loss away from Children’s Mercy Park after two road wins. “I thought we were good tonight. I think we could have easily scored a couple of goals. We had great looks 1-v1 with the ‘keeper. I thought we gave up two soft goals, to be honest with you. That’s the way it goes,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. Said midfielder Roger Espinoza: “We need to look forward. We have two very important matches that we need to be prepared for. As for now, we are going back home to try to work on things. Hopefully we can do things better in the next two games.” Lawrence Olum scored his first goal of the season, his first MLS goal since July 19, 2014 when he netted vs. LA Galaxy. Olum was making a third consecutive start in a central midfield role. Benny Feilhaber collected his first assist of the season on the SKC goal. He has been involved in three of Sporting’s last five goals, over the last four matches, with two goals and an assist. “In terms of the opportunities that we got, we definitely need to finish them. … There were other chances – shots from the top of the box, set pieces, stuff like that – I still think we need to generate more chances than we
MLS GAME INFORMATION
did. As much as we could have scored more goals today, we also could have generated more chances,” said Feilhaber. Matt Besler returned to the lineup, making his first start since March 20 after suffering a concussion, playing the full 90 minutes in central defense. Jimmy Medranda made his first start of the season, after four substitute appearances, coming into a wide attacking role and playing 79 minutes. It was his first start since last Aug. 22 vs. Columbus. Brad Davis also returned to the first XI for the first time since April 2, making his second start since coming to Sporting, playing the full 90 minutes in a wide left attacking role. We just made a big adjustment in regards to the way we were playing. Our formation, we just kind of threw our numbers forward. They were going to just kind of sit back to win it, hold on to (the lead),” Vermes said. “I thought we had some really good chances. Sometimes it goes in, sometimes it doesn’t. At least the energy at the end was very good, at least we went for it, which I’m proud of from our point of view.”

Forward and captain Chris Wondolowski tallied his sixth goal of the season and moved into sole possession of fourth place on the league’s all-time scoring leaderboard with 115. San Jose made five changes to the starting XI that defeated the New York Red Bulls 2-0 three days prior. Midfielders Anibal Godoy, Alberto Quintero and Simon Dawkins, as well as defenders Kip Colvey and Kofi Sarkodie were inserted into the lineup with the club having played three games in eight days. In the 10th minute of the match, Colvey helped keep the match scoreless. After goalkeeper David Bingham was forced off his line, a cross was played in front of the goalmouth, but Colvey was able to clear it out of danger. Three minutes later, the Quakes created a chance themselves. Quintero drove a cross from the right flank, which was headed goal-ward by Dawkins. Goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey, who had very little time to react, knocked the ball out of play for a corner kick. In the 19th minute, forward Quincy Amarikwa took a back-heel pass from Wondolowski and attempted to chip the keeper from the edge of the penalty area. Although his effort beat the net-minder, the ball caromed off the crossbar and was eventually cleared. The Timbers grabbed the lead in the 52nd minute. Forward Jack McInerney gained control of the ball with a slide tackle and tucked his short-range effort just inside the far post. Portland doubled their advantage 13 minutes later when second-half substitute Fanendo Adi found the back of the net on a counter attack. San Jose pulled a goal back one minute into stoppage time when Wondolowski drew and converted a penalty kick, giving him a goal in six of the first seven matches of the season. The Quakes furiously attacked in search of an equalizer, coming close on multiple occasions, but were ultimately exposed on a counter attack. Adi tallied his second goal nine minutes into stoppage time to seal the outcome.

OPPONENT INFORMATION Earthquakes vs. Sporting KC All-Time MLS Regular Season: 23-21-7 Home: 15-4-6 (36 GF, 19 GA) Away: 8-17-1 (28 GF, 40 GA) All-Time Scoring: San Jose – 64, Kansas City – 59 Last Game vs. Sporting KC Earthquakes 1, Sporting Kansas City 0; Oct. 16, 2015; Avaya Stadium, San Jose, CA The San Jose Earthquakes earned the crucial three points needed to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race with a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City in front of a capacity crowd at Avaya Stadium. The Quakes were forced to shuffle the back line with defender Victor Bernardez absent due to yellow card accumulation. Defender Marvell Wynne stepped in to help lead the club to a shutout victory. In the 8th minute, Cordell Cato sent a cross from the right side of the field to midfielder Shea Salinas, who was able to get his head to the ball at the far post. However, Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia was able to make a comfortable save. Twelve minutes later, Matias Perez Garcia laid the ball off to Quincy Amarikwa, who was waiting to attack in the middle of the pitch. Quincy dribbled past one defender at the top of the box, putting himself in a one-on-one matchup with the keeper. Amarikwa took a hard shot towards goal, but the attempt sailed just high. The Quakes got on the board two minutes into the second half, when Salinas sent a high cross to the back post for forward Chris Wondolowski. Wondolowski one-timed a cross through the box for Anibal Godoy, who calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net. It marked Anibal Godoy’s second goal of the season, with both coming against Sporting Kansas City. It also marked Salinas’ fifth assist and Wondolowski’s first assist of the year. Wondolowski has now tallied a goal or an assist in seven of the last 10 matches dating back to August 19. With the score, San Jose has not been shut out at Avaya Stadium since August 2, a span of eight consecutive matches. The two clubs continued their physical style of play for the duration of the second half, with both teams creating several scoring chances. However, neither side was able to alter the score line before the final whistle sounded. Quakes keeper David Bingham tallied his 12th shutout of the year, tying Pat Onstad’s club record set in 2005, and will have one opportunity to break it before the season comes to an end.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 24, 2016 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SJvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#SJvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
A pair of MLS Western Conference charter members square off Sunday at Avaya Stadium in a nationally televised contest on ESPN. Sporting KC (4-3-0, 12 points) visits the San Jose Earthquakes (3-2-2, 11 points) with hopes of snapping a 17-game road winless streak in the series dating back to 2001. Kansas City last won in San Jose on Aug. 16, 2000, but the Earthquakes have collected 12 wins and five draws in home meetings ever since (including playoffs). Sporting KC’s 17-game road winless skid against San Jose is the longest such streak in club history. Since 2004, the home team in the matchup is 17-1-2 across all competitions. San Jose swept the 2015 regular season series with a pair of wins, including a resounding 5-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on Aug. 19. Chris Wondolowski and Cordell Cato each bagged a brace, while Anibal Godoy scored his first career MLS goal. The result snapped San Jose’s 10-game road losing streak in Kansas City dating back to 2004 (including playoffs). Sporting KC’s inaugural visit to Avaya Stadium on Oct. 16 resulted in a 1-0 defeat, with Godoy scoring in the 47th minute to extend San Jose’s home unbeaten run against Kansas City to 17 MLS matches (including playoffs). Sunday is the first of three meetings between the sides this year. Sporting KC will return to Avaya Stadium on Sept. 24 before hosting the Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park in the regular season finale on Oct. 23. San Jose holds a narrow edge in the all-time regular season series with a 23-21-7 record, including a 15-4-6 mark at home. Of the previous 51 regular season matches between the clubs, 36 were played from 1996-2004 when they met four times a year in the Western Conference.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 24, 2016 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC TAKES FIRST ROAD LOSS OF 2016 AT FC DALLAS DAVIS BECOMES THE FIFTH TO 400 Sporting KC took its first road loss of the 2016 season on Sunday, falling 2-1 to FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The result dropped Sporting Kansas City (4-3-0, 12 points) to fourth place in the Western Conference, while FC Dallas (5-1-2, 17 points) vaulted atop the MLS Supporters’ Shield standings.
Sporting KC winger Brad Davis became the fifth player in MLS history to reach 400 MLS appearances in last Sunday’s match at FC Dallas. Davis is only the third field player to reach the milestone and the third active player to join the 400 club, alongside Real Salt Lake duo Nick Rimando and Kyle Beckerman.
Midfielder Lawrence Olum put Sporting KC ahead in the 22nd minute, scoring his first MLS goal since 2014 off a corner kick from Benny Feilhaber, but FC Dallas drew level 13 minutes later through Michael Barrios. Second-half substitute Mauro Rosales then curled home a free kick in the 68th minute to snap Sporting KC’s two-game road winning streak.
All-time MLS appearances (including playoffs) 1. Kevin Hartman 465 (416 regular season) Retired GK 2. Nick Rimando 432 (399 regular season) Active GK 3. Kyle Beckerman 415 (384 regular season) Active MID 4. Steve Ralston 412 (378 regular season) Retired MID 5. Brad Davis 400 (373 regular season) Active MID
Brad Davis joined elite company last Sunday with his 400th MLS appearance. The 2014 World Cup veteran is only the fifth MLS player to accomplish the feat and just the third active player to feature in 400 MLS games. Davis is now 12 games behind MLS legend (and fellow St. Louis native) Steve Ralston for fourth all-time in MLS appearances. Former Kansas City goalkeeper Kevin Hartman is first on the list with 465 appearances during the regular season and playoffs.
Davis has recorded 59 goals and 131 assists (including postseason) during a 15year MLS career highlighted by 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup championships, 2011 MLS Best XI honors and six MLS All-Star selections. His 373 appearances and 122 assists in the regular season are both third most in MLS history. A native of Missouri, Davis ended his 10-year stay in Houston as the Dynamo’s all-time leader in regular season games played (271), starts (252) and assists (104). In addition to winning two MLS Cups, Davis led Houston to seven playoff trips from 2006-2015, including MLS Cup appearances in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012.
ROAD TRIPPIN’
Sporting KC will play four of its next five MLS fixtures away from home. Having visited FC Dallas last week, Kansas City continues a three-game road swing with a road trip to the San Jose Earthquakes (Sunday) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (Wednesday). After a home game with LA Galaxy on May 1, Sporting KC goes wheels up again with games at Houston (May 7) and Colorado (May 11).
DWYER AND ZUSI CLIMBING THE CHARTS
A pair of MLS All-Stars continue their rise up Sporting KC’s all-time regular season charts. Graham Zusi ranks second in club history with 46 assists, while Dom Dwyer has climbed to fourth with 40 regular season goals.
A win at New York on April 9 saw Peter Vermes’ men earn consecutive road wins for the first time since July 2014. More impressively, Sporting KC became just the second team in MLS history (joining the 2010 LA Galaxy) to secure shutout wins at Red Bull Arena and CenturyLink Field in Seattle in the same season. The feat is all the more impressive given the fact that visiting teams to New York and Seattle have emerged with victories just 19 percent of the time (44-133-45) since 2010.
Dwyer now has 49 career goals for Sporting KC in all competitions, third in club history and four shy of tying Davy Arnaud for second. Zusi, meanwhile, recorded his 24th game-winning MLS assist (including playoffs) in a 2-0 victory at the New York Red Bulls on April 9. That ties Preki for the club’s all-time lead. KC regular season goal leaders Player Goals 1. Preki 71 2. Davy Arnaud 43 Josh Wolff 43 4. Dom Dwyer 40 5. Chris Klein 39
Sporting KC’s 24 regular season road wins from 2012-2014 were the most over a three-year span during Major League Soccer’s non-shootout era (2000-present). Kansas City went 24-17-10 over that span, securing at least seven more road wins than any other team. Sporting KC’s travels in 2015 were less successful as the team went 4-9-4, their worst road record since 2008 (2-8-5).

Sporting KC last won an MLS match in San Jose on Aug. 16, 2000. The club has gone winless in 17 visits ever since, recording 12 losses and five draws (including playoffs). Kansas City’s 17-game road winless spell against the Earthquakes is their longest such streak in club history. But it’s not all doom and gloom for Peter Vermes’ men heading into Sunday’s match. Sporting KC has snapped a pair of unfavorable streaks in two previous road visits this season. In the 2016 season opener on March 6, Sporting KC beat Sounders FC 1-0 to end a five-game winless run at Seattle dating back to 2009. On April 9, Sporting KC topped the Red Bulls 2-0 to break a six-game winless skid in the series.
NO HARM, NO FOUL?
Sporting KC has committed 13 fouls over its last three games, the fewest fouls over a three-game span in the club’s regular season history. Sporting KC has suffered 41 fouls over the last three matches and, as a result, has a minus-28 foul discrepancy for the season (72 committed, 100 drawn). In each of the previous five seasons, Peter Vermes’ men have committed more fouls than they have suffered.
HOME COOKING
The all-time series between Sporting KC and San Jose has been dominated by the home team over the last decade. In fact, San Jose’s victory in Kansas City last season is the series’ only road win over the last 20 meetings in all competitions dating back to 2004. The home side is 17-1-2 during that stretch.
MASTERFUL MELIA
Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia is off to a strong start in 2016. The reigning MLS Comeback Player of the Year is tied for the league lead in wins (four) and shutouts (three), while ranking second in save percentage (80.6), third in saves (29) and fourth in goals against average (1.00).
In the all-time regular season series between Sporting KC and San Jose, the home team is 32-12-7 with 76 goals scored and 47 goals allowed. Sporting KC is 17-8-1 on home turf, while San Jose is 15-4-6.
In a 2-0 victory at the New York Red Bulls on April 9, Melia became the first keeper in Sporting KC history to notch at least six saves and one penalty kick save while earning a shutout victory. Five other players have made at least six stops and saved one penalty in a match, but only Tony Meola added a clean sheet, and none posted a shutout win.
WONDO WOES
San Jose forward Chris Wondolowski has scored seven regular season goals against Sporting KC throughout his career, more than any other active player in MLS. The seven-goal haul, compiled over 10 regular season appearances, includes a brace in San Jose’s 5-0 win over Sporting KC last August at Children’s Mercy Park. Wondolowski also tallied the game-winning assist when the sides met at Avaya Stadium last October, with Anibal Godoy providing the decisive goal in the 47th minute.
CAPTAIN MATT A MAINSTAY IN DEFENSE
Sporting KC captain and center back Matt Besler is 75 minutes shy of passing Chris Klein for 6th in club history with 16,381 regular season minutes played for Sporting KC. He has started 193 of his 198 career MLS appearances (including postseason) since joining Kansas City out of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft. His 223 appearances in all competitions rank seventh in club history, while his 19,565 minutes played rank sixth. 3

DEFENDING THE OPEN CUP
Sporting KC enters the 2016 season as defending champions of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Peter Vermes’ side defeated the Philadelphia Union in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation to win the 2015 final on Sept. 30, effectively securing a spot in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League. The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The knockout-style tournament is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest running open soccer tournament. This year’s winner will earn $250,000 and a berth into the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League. Sporting KC has won the tournament on three occasions (2004, 2012, 2015), third-most among MLS clubs behind Seattle and Chicago who have four titles apiece. All 17 American MLS clubs will enter the 2016 Open Cup in the round of 32 in June.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ON THE HORIZON
Courtesy of the club’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship, Sporting KC will compete in the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League, set to begin in August. 2016 marks the third time in four years that Sporting KC has featured in the international competition, which involves the top clubs from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The tournament winner will qualify as CONCACAF’s representative at the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup. Sporting KC joins the Portland Timbers (2015 MLS Cup winner), New York Red Bulls (2015 Supporters’ Shield winner), FC Dallas (2015 Western Conference first place finisher) and Vancouver Whitecaps FC (2015 Canadian Championship winner) as MLS representatives in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.
PETER THE GREAT
Last season Peter Vermes passed Bob Gansler as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history, ending 2015 with 90 regular season wins and 113 victories across all competitions. Vermes has coached 260 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 117-82-61 record, 10 games shy of tying Gansler’s 270game record. Vermes’ 94 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (224), Bruce Arena (193) and Dominic Kinnear (155). Now in his eighth MLS season, Vermes ties Bob Gansler (1999-2006) as the club’s longest-tenured manager.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | April 24, 2016 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes
Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.
Peter Vermes enters his eighth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2016. He is tied as the team’s longest-serving manager and his 117 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to five straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 94 regular season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.
He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.
Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, retired from the League in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.
On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.
Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts. Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.
For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.
After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.
Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Year

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.
Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel
Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.
Mateus Manoel is in his seventh season with Sporting KC as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.
Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.
In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia. Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
