TORONTO FC MANAGEMENT & COACHING BIOS BILL MANNING – PRESIDENT Bill Manning was named President of Toronto FC on October 12, 2015. Under his direction, TFC promptly put together a 2016 season that was easily the best in club history, both on and off the field. During his first full‐season as President, Manning oversaw an organization that won the Canadian Championship, the Major League Eastern Conference championship and finish as runners‐up in the MLS Cup while shattering past attendance records. Manning joined Toronto FC after spending the previous eight seasons as president of Real Salt Lake (RSL) and Rio Tinto Stadium. During his time with RSL, Manning helped to transform the club into a consistent winner – RSL won the 2009 MLS Cup championship— and a model franchise off the pitch, where both season tickets and sponsorships more than tripled during his tenure. The club also won the Eastern Conference title (2009), Western Conference title (2013) and were MLS Cup runners‐up (2013) and CONCACAF Champions League runners‐up (2011). Manning was the recipient of the Major League Soccer Doug Hamilton Executive of the Year award in both 2012 and 2014. In addition, he helped establish, open and sell naming rights to Rio Tinto Stadium. Manning’s experience in sports management spans 24 years. In addition to his work in Major League Soccer, Manning has held executive positions with the National Football League’s Philadelphia Eagles and the National Basketball Association’s Houston Rockets. A native of Massapequa, New York, Manning was a nationally‐recognized collegiate soccer player at the University of Bridgeport where, as a sophomore in 1984, he helped the Purple Knights to an NCAA quarterfinal berth. As a senior in 1986 Manning led his team to a final four appearance while earning first‐team All‐America honors. Manning continued his playing career after college and advanced to two U.S. Open Cup finals with the Brooklyn Italians, winning the title in 1991. He also played professionally in the United Soccer League (USL) with the Penn‐Jersey Spirit (1991), the Valley Golden Eagles (1993) and New York Fever (1994‐95). Manning also earned a U.S. Soccer National “A” Coaching License in 2001. While still playing in the USL, Manning began his career in sports management, working in the front office of the Continental Indoor Soccer League in 1993 and for the New York Fever in 1994‐95. After his last season as a player, he went on to leadership roles in the United Soccer League with the Long Island Rough Riders and the Minnesota Thunder where he was named USL Executive of the Year in 1999 following a championship season. Manning got his start in MLS in 2000 with the Tampa Bay Mutiny as President and General Manager and was named 2000 MLS Executive of the Year by the Washington Post. After the Mutiny, Manning left the soccer world to enhance his business acumen serving as Director of Corporate Partnerships for the NBA’s Houston Rockets from 2003‐04 where he was part of the staff that opened the state‐of‐the‐art Toyota Center. Manning would then move on to the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles where as Vice President of Sales and Service he managed all corporate partnerships and premium seating from 2004‐08, overseeing revenue growth of over 50 percent during his tenure. Manning received his Bachelor of Science degree (1987) and Masters in Business Administration (1989) from the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut where he was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2006 and honoured with the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2016. Manning and his wife, Jennifer, reside in King City with their sons John and Will.

TIM BEZBATCHENKO – GENERAL MANAGER Tim Bezbatchenko was named general manager of Toronto FC on September 20, 2013 after having spent three years at the Major League Soccer (MLS) as Senior Director of Player Relations and Competition. Since joining Toronto FC, Bezbatchenko has been instrumental in making changes to a club that had never made the playoffs in its history prior to his arrival. His work focused on changes to the roster and creating a new vision for Toronto FC: to be a leader in player development, a leading edge organization in innovative practices and to be internationally recognized as a consistent contender for championships in North America. The changes have led to Toronto FC having its three best seasons in club history, including becoming the first Canadian team to compete and host the MLS Cup Finals in 2016. In 2014, with a number of key acquisitions made through signings and trades, Bezbatchenko was a central figure in acquiring three Designated Players, England international Jermain Defoe, American international Michael Bradley and Brazilian striker Gilberto. The club finished with the winningest season in club history at the time. The 2015 season saw Bezbatchenko make additional roster changes to build on the core group of players established in 2014, including the addition of two Designated Players, Italian international Sebastian Giovinco and U.S. international Jozy Altidore, as well as French midfielder Benoît Cheyrou and MLS talents such as Marky Delgado and Eriq Zavaleta. As a result, the club was able to clinch a playoff berth for first time in club history and broke many club records along the way: total points in a season (49), total wins in a season (15), total goals in a season (58), home wins in a season (11), total home goals in a season (34) and recorded four consecutive wins for first time in club history. The 2016 season was another historic year for the club. Toronto FC hosted the Seattle Sounders FC in the 2016 MLS Cup Finals at BMO Field, eventually falling in penalties. The offseason saw more MLS veteran additions to the roster including goalkeeper Clint Irwin, defenders Drew Moor, Steven Beitashour and two‐time MLS Cup champion midfielder Will Johnson. In addition, midseason acquisitions of Armando Cooper and Tosaint Ricketts helped propel Toronto FC to its best finish in club history (3rd in the Eastern Conference). The Reds also set records for points in a season (50) and fewest goals conceded (39). The 2016 season also saw Toronto FC claim its fifth Amway Canadian Championship (Bezbatchenko’s first with the club) defeating Vancouver Whitecaps FC on aggregrate. The hallmark signing in Bezbatchenko’s tenure as general manager has been Sebastian Giovinco. In his first season with Toronto FC and in MLS, Giovinco broke multiple MLS and club records. He also captured numerous awards that included the 2015 Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player, the 2015 Newcomer of the Year award, being named to the 2015 & 2016 MLS Best XI and the 2015 Golden Boot as the league’s top goal scorer, 2016 Audi Index Player of the Year and the first player to collect 70 regular season points (goals and assists) over two seasons. On the player development side, Bezbatchenko was instrumental in securing a second professional team in the United Soccer League (USL) called Toronto FC II in 2015 and hired Laurent Guyot from the French Football Federation (FFF) as Academy Director. Toronto FC II has helped create a clear developmental path from the Academy through to the First Team and gives TFC Academy players meaningful professional minutes. Prior to joining Toronto FC, Bezbatchenko spent three years as the Senior Director of Player Relations and Competition with MLS located in New York City. In that role, he was responsible for negotiating and drafting player contracts, as well as finalizing loan and transfer agreements for the import and export of players to and from MLS. In addition he oversaw all MLS rosters, the MLS player pool, and team salary budgets. He was also responsible for youth and player development initiatives for the league, including the home‐grown player signing process. Bezbatchenko also helped the Player Department manage the relationship between the Players Union and interpretation of the league’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA). He also served as a liaison

with the US Soccer Federation and the Canadian Soccer Association. During the 2013 season MLS announced a partnership with the FFF to create an educational course for MLS Academy Directors that was managed by Bezbatchenko. Prior to joining MLS, Bezbatchenko served as an attorney for Shearman & Sterling LLP, in New York City, where he worked in their Mergers & Acquisitions group. He graduated with honours from the University of Richmond with a B.A. in Economics and Leadership Studies in 2004 and later from the University of Cincinnati College of Law in 2008. Bezbatchenko played college soccer for the Richmond Spiders of the University of Richmond and was named two‐time Academic All American and the Atlantic 10 Conference first team. A native of Westerville, Ohio, he played two professional seasons as a midfielder for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds, and won the USL Pro League Atlantic Division Championship in 2004 with a record of 17‐2‐1. Tim and his wife Annie live in Toronto with their children Jack and Sarah.

GREG VANNEY – HEAD COACH Greg Vanney was named the ninth head coach in club history on August 31, 2014. He was originally hired on December 11, 2013 and served as the club’s assistant general manager and academy director before taking over as head coach. Vanney has taken the club to new heights during his time as head coach, highlighted by an Eastern Conference Championship (2016). Vanney holds the most wins as coach in all competitions (38). His side set two more records in 2016, most points (50) which broke the record of 49 points originally set the prior season; along with the lowest number of goals conceded in a season with 39. Toronto FC finished in its highest position (3rd in the Eastern Conference) and hosted the first playoff match in club history, a 3‐1 victory over Philadelphia Union. Vanney’s side eliminated New York City FC (7‐0 agg.) and Monteal Impact (7‐5 agg.) en route to the MLS Cup Finals, the first for Toronto FC and the first for a Canadian Club. The Reds fell to Seattle Sounders FC, 5‐4 on penalties following a 0‐0 full‐time draw. Vanney led Toronto FC to the club’s fifth Amway Canadian Championship in 2016, the first in four years. In 2015, Vanney’s side set records for most wins (15), goals scored (58), home wins (11) and goals scored at home (34). The 2015 season also marked Toronto’s first playoff appearance in club history. Prior to joining Toronto FC, Vanney held titles of director of soccer operations and director of Real Salt Lake‐Arizona Youth Academy at Grande Sports World. It was there that he oversaw program and business development at the Grande Sports World facility. Vanney, Grande Sports World, and Real Salt Lake were responsible for creation of the first MLS Residential Academy in the United States, which began play in the Fall of 2010.

He was named to the MLS Best XI in 2000 and 2001. Following the 2001 season, Vanney transferred to SC Bastia, of France’s Ligue 1, where he remained until 2005 helping the club reach the Coup de France Final in 2002. He rejoined MLS, signing with FC Dallas and spent two seasons with the Hoops; where he earned two All‐Star selections, captaining the 2005 team to a 4‐0 victory over Fulham. Vanney was traded to the Colorado Rapids in January 2007, and then to D.C. United later that same season. Vanney rejoined the LA Galaxy in February 2008 and retired at the conclusion of the season. During his playing career, Vanney earned 36 caps and scored one goal for the United States Men’s National team. Vanney was added to the U.S. 2002 FIFA World Cup preliminary squad, but missed the tournament due to injury. He was also part of the U.S. side that won the 2005 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Vanney lives in Toronto with his wife, Amy and their four children.

#TORvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City heads north of the border to face Toronto FC in the side’s second road game of the 2017 season, having won the last four games against TFC dating back to 2014. In the only meeting between the two sides in 2016, Sporting KC claimed a 1-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park behind Brad Davis’ 70th-minute that ensured Sporting KC opened the 2016 season with three straight victories, though the side needed to hang on after Roger Espinoza was shown a red card with six minutes to play.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 31, 2017 at Toronto FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes TORMENTING TORONTO

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES STINGY SPORTING

Sporting Kansas City enters Friday’s showdown with Toronto FC with history firmly on their side. Sporting KC has gone 14-4-5 against Toronto in the regular season, which signifies the club’s second best winning percentage (0.717) against all teams with a minimum of three games played all-time.

Despite seeing the club’s regular-season shutout streak come to an end at 457 minutes when Florian Jungwirth volleyed home a late consolation goal for the San Jose Earthquakes on March 18, Sporting Kansas City’s backline still boasts the most impressive numbers in MLS this season.

Sporting KC has won each of the last four meetings between the two sides, and is 11-12 since midway through the 2010 campaign, with the lone defeat coming at the Rogers Centre in Toronto on March 9, 2013. Sporting KC is 5-3-3 all-time on the road against Toronto, and has won each of the last four meetings at BMO Field, outscoring TFC 8-3 since June 2011.

Goalkeeper Tim Melia was responsible for all 457 minutes of the shutout streak, marking the longest such streak of his career and the third longest streak in Sporting KC history - trailing only Tony Meola’s league-best 681 minute shutout streak in 2000, and Jimmy Nielsen’s 546 minute streak in 2013. Sporting KC’s one goal against in 2017 is tied for the least in MLS, alongside Orlando City SC who has played one less game.

In 2016, Sporting KC earned a 1-0 victory over Toronto at Children’s Mercy Park in the third game of the season, with Brad Davis firing into the bottom corner in the 70th minute to give the home side all three points despite Roger Espinoza’s late red card. In the last meeting at BMO Field, Sporting KC ran out 3-1 winners as goals from Benny Feilhaber, Krisztian Nemeth and Jacob Peterson cancelled out Michael Bradley’s momentary equalizer.

Since a 3-1 defeat to New England on Oct. 1, 2016, Sporting KC has posted four shutouts in the five games that followed, while no other team in the league has recorded more than three. Melia has made 22 saves in those five games, including a remarkable double-stop to deny D.C. United’s Marcelo Sarvas’ penalty and Patrick Mullins’ follow-up in the season opener at RFK Stadium on March 4. Melia’s 22 saves are also tied for the second most in the league in that time period.

CONQUERING CANADA

GERSO SHOWS HIS GUILE

Sporting Kansas City has typically thrived against the three MLS teams from north of the border, going a combined 26-8-10 against Toronto FC, the Montreal Impact and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Offseason Designated Player acquisition Gerso Fernandes continues to threaten opposition defenses with his dribbling ability. Gerso is fourth in MLS with 18 dribbles attempted across the opening three games of the season, while his nine completed dribbles ranks third in the league.

Of all active MLS teams that Sporting KC has faced at least three times, the club’s three highest winning percentages have come against the three Canadian teams. Sporting KC has a winning percentage of 0.717 against Toronto FC, 0.750 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC and 0.636 against the Montreal Impact.

Sporting KC has attempted the fourth most dribbles in the league so far in 2017, recording 66 attempts, while their 32 successful dribbles ranks fifth in MLS. Columbus Crew SC leads the league in dribbles attempted with 78 while San Jose is first in successful dribbles with 38.

While playing in Canada, Sporting KC has gone a combined 10-5-7 in each of the three markets, including a 5-3-3 mark in Toronto. Sporting KC’s win percentage in Canada (0.614) is significantly higher than the team’s win percentage all-time on the road (0.398).

Toronto FC ranks eighth from bottom in both dribbles attempted (50) and dribbles completed (20). They are led by midfielder Armando Cooper whose 16 dribbles attempted rank sixth in the league while his five completed are tied for 17th.

MAINTAIN POSSESSION, LIMIT CHANCES

Last season, Sporting KC beat Toronto FC 1-0 at Children’s Mercy Park, drew with the Montreal Impact 2-2 at Stade Saputo and went 2-0-1 against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, posting 2-1 and 2-0 wins at home while playing to a 1-1 draw on the road - all contributing to a combined unbeaten record of 3-0-2.

Through the first three games of the season, Sporting Kansas City has attempted the third most passes of teams to only play three games in 2017 with 1569 - trailing only Atlanta United FC and New York City FC. Sporting KC has also posted the fifth highest possession percentage in the league with 58.66.

BENNY THE CREATOR

Without the ball, Sporting KC has faced the fewest shots in the league to date with 20, four fewer than the nearest challenger, the San Jose Earthquakes. The Portland Timbers have allowed the most shots this season with 53, while Friday’s opponents Toronto FC have faced 35 shots - the 10th most in the league.

After creating five chances in Sporting Kansas City’s 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on March 18, Benny Feilhaber now leads the league with 10 chances created across three games in 2017. In addition to opening the scoring and tallying Sporting KC’s first goal of the 2017 season with a stunning strike from distance in the first half, Feilhaber also provided passes that led to shots from teammates on five occasions. Those five chances created are tied for the fourth most in a single game by any MLS player this season.

Of the 11 teams with a average possession percentage below 50, seven of them find themselves in the lower half of the league in shots faced, while eight are in the lower half of the league in goals conceded. Sporting KC has not only allowed the fewest shots (20), but has also conceded the fewest goals (1).

Since joining the league in 2011 as a member of the New England Revolution, Feilhaber has created 308 chances, good for the eighth most in the league in that time period. Feilhaber joined Sporting KC ahead of the 2013 season and has gone on to create 230 chances for the club, placing him sixth in that category. In addition, his 38 MLS assists since joining Sporting KC are tied for the second most in the league, six behind Portland’s Diego Valeri.

LEFT-SIDE LOCKDOWN

After recording their two consecutive clean sheets on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 40 total shutouts in just 108 games where both have started in the regular season.

Feilhaber only trails one Sporting KC teammate in chances created both since joining the league and since joining his current club, as Graham Zusi has created 421 chances since 2011 (2nd) and 260 since 2013 (T-4th).

Since Sinovic joined the club via a trade with New England in 2011, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 70 shutouts - 10 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 108 of the 199 games since the trade, posting 40 of the club’s 70 shutouts alongside one another. Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since the trade with 56, while Sinovic is tied for fifth with 49. Besler and Sinovic have started and played the full 90 minutes in each of Sporting KC’s last five regular-season games, conceding just one goal.

WE LIKE IKE

Sporting Kansas City defender Ike Opara has proven to be a sturdy figure at the heart of the side’s backline through the opening three games of the 2017 MLS season, and leads all defenders in the league with 21 aerial duels attempted. The 28-year-old has won 10 of them, good for fifth among MLS defenders as his presence has been key to Sporting KC’s strong defensive opening to the season.

BLESSING & SALLOI TAKE SWOPPORTUNITY

On Saturday night, Sporting Kansas City’s USL side, the Swope Park Rangers, opened the 2017 season with a 3-1 triumph over OKC Energy FC. Five Sporting KC players joined the Rangers for the game in goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas, defenders Kevin Ellis and Colton Storm and forwards Latif Blessing and Daniel Salloi.

In addition, Opara is tied for third among MLS defenders with 38 ground duels attempted, winning 23 of them. His Sporting KC teammate Graham Zusi is fifth in the same category, going in to 37 duels since shifting to right back at the start of the 2017 season. 3

All five loanees started the game, with Zendejas making five saves as Ellis and Storm kept a more experienced OKC side at bay. Up front, Blessing and Salloi each found the net to earn SPR three points to start the season.

Sporting KC enters the 2017 season looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason. In addition, Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

After falling behind in the first half, the Rangers equalized just before the break when Parker Maher set up Kharlton Belmar in the box. In the second period, Salloi first found Blessing for the go-ahead goal before adding a strike of his own with a clinical finish to give the Rangers a two-goal cushion heading into the closing stages. It was Blessing’s first goal for the organization since his offseason move from Ghana, while Salloi scored his fifth Rangers goal having found the net four times in 2016.

DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI

After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions. Dwyer’s 16 goals in the 2016 regular season brought his total to 52, and 61 in all competitions. Dwyer sits just 19 MLS goals and 20 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively.

The 26-year-old has amassed 50 goals in his last three seasons, a rate of just under 17 goals per season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, who took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.

Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons. Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein

SPORTING KC DROPS CONCESSION PRICES

On Tuesday afternoon, Sporting KC announced that the club is dropping the prices of various food and beverage items at Children’s Mercy Park. Beer, soda and water all saw prices drop anywhere from $0.50 to $3.00, with most items dropping at least $1.50 at an average of 20 percent. The cost of margaritas, hotdogs, bratwursts, chips and grilled cheese sandwiches also dropped anywhere from $0.25 to $1.50 per item, with the new pricing available for the entirity of the 2017 MLS season.

Goals (All Competitions) 81 61 52 46 43

VERMES VERBATIM

On if scoring two goals felt like a weight was lifted… “It doesn’t feel that way. Nothing has changed aside for the fact that we won this game with three points. We had two very good performances before this game. I think in the last game if you look at the chances we had and how we missed them, we were so excited and overzealous that the guys were pushing hard to get it and our timing was off. I think tonight, our timing was pretty good. If you look at the action down the right side when Benny [Feilhaber] crosses to Jimmy [Medranda], if that ball goes into the back of the net, that’s a world-class action. We believe in ourselves. We know what we are doing. We are completely resolute to how we want to play and how we are going to build over the course of the season. That’s the most important thing. If we believe, then it’s everything.”

RUBIO REMAINS OUT WITH ACL INJURY

Sporting KC forward Diego Rubio suffered a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee during training on Oct. 14, 2016 and remains sidelined for the foreseeable future. Rubio recorded three goals and one assist in 20 appearances across all competitions in 2016 after joining Sporting KC on loan in March. The 23-year-old Chilean completed his permanent transfer from Spanish side Real Valladolid to Sporting KC in September. In September, Rubio became the first player in club history to score in the MLS regular season, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League in the same year. He opened his 2016 scoring account in a 1-1 draw at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 27 and notched the game-winner in extra time of a 2-1 U.S. Open Cup victory over Minnesota United FC on June 15. Rubio then tallied his first goal at Children’s Mercy Park in a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Vancouver on Sept. 13.

On almost conceding again after the San Jose goal… “The game of soccer is very interesting. Two teams are playing against each other, the game is 0-0 and all of a sudden someone scores. A lot of times, a gameplan goes out the window for one of those teams, usually the team that gets scored on and a lot changes for them. When you are in that situation and it’s late in the game, you just know they are going to pump it in on you. The thing is, if you are ready for it and everybody is in tune to what is happening, it doesn’t faze you because it is part of the game. But I think we just lost our focus as a team in that moment and we just started to come unraveled in the moment. I would say we woke up at the end and Tim [Melia] came up with a great save.”

A native of Santiago, Chile, Rubio has netted 40 goals and added 16 assists since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. After rising from the youth ranks to the senior team at hometown club Colo-Colo, Rubio moved overseas to Sporting Clube de Portugal, where he scored 22 times for Sporting B from 2011-2015. The striker made 20 first-team appearances for Sporting while also going on loan to Romanian side Pandurii Targu Jiu in 2013 and Norwegian outfit Sandnes Ulf in 2014. Rubio earned three caps for the Chile Men’s National Team in 2011 at age 18 before playing eight matches at the U-20 level from 2012-2013.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 31, 2017 at Toronto FC | 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 is in his ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 128 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 – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six 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 104 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 has coached 297 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and 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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

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 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 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. 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.
