QUOTABLE All quotes were obtained during mid-week media availability SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MATIAS ALMEYDA On takeaways from the match against Houston: “I think we need to keep improving defensively, on how we want to mark, and how we should mark. We need to be more concentrated, especially when the opponent has strong characteristics and when the information was already given to mark a certain way. We need to be dependable. We can’t be focused for 45 minutes and forget about our plan. There is a process set in place and change is coming. I liked the team’s reaction to conceding the first goal, that could have tied the match. Ball possession was ours. We were similar in shots on target. Ideally, we would like to play the same way in the match we won, where we played well for 60 or 65 minutes, and the idea is that we stay on that path.”

On key factors for Saturday’s match against Sporting Kansas City: “We know we need to play to our strengths. The players are convinced they can play a great match against a strong opponent. They need to enjoy playing this match, and they need to believe they can go up against the best and the worst. The numbers say we are one the weaker sides, so we fight to be the best we can, and we are working towards the change. They are a team you can’t sleep on, a team that is enjoyable to watch. Everyone is mobile, and there is great individual technique throughout their team. They all work together, and they are team that is managed very well.”

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES MIDFIELDER JACKSON YUEILL On scoring his first career goal and earning the start last weekend: “The goal, for me, was awesome. We were down 1-0 so it was nice to help the team get back even. I think it was a good [goal] for us. The weather delay kind of delayed things, but the goal helped us get back in the game. When [head coach Matias Almeyda] told me I was starting, I was very thrilled. For him to have confidence in a young player like me is always reassuring.”

On head coach Matias Almeyda giving playing time to young players: “He believes in everyone on the team so it’s an opportunity. It doesn’t matter how many years you played or what you have, if you play well and play hard, you’ll get your chance. He’s given me my chance and hopefully I make the most out of it.”

OUR FEARLESS LEADER Matias Almeyda was hired as the 12th head coach of the San Jose Earthquakes on Oct. 8, 2018.

Almeyda possesses an extensive background both as a player and manager. Prior to his arrival in San Jose, he most recently served as head coach of Chivas de Guadalajara from September 2015 to June 2018, where he led the club to five trophies in his three seasons. During his tenure, Almeyda managed numerous Mexican National Team players, including Carlos Salcedo, Omar Bravo, Alan Pulido, Oswaldo Alanis, Rodolfo Pizarro, Miguel Angel Ponce and Isaac Brizuela.

Almeyda was named the 2018 Concacaf Men’s Football Coach of the Year after his side won the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League with consecutive wins over MLS clubs Seattle Sounders FC (3-1 agg.), New York Red Bulls (1-0 agg.) and Toronto FC (3-3 agg.; 4-2 PKs). It marked the club’s first CONCACAF Champions League title since 1962, the first year of the competition’s existence, and secured Chivas’ first-ever qualification for the FIFA Club World Cup. In addition to their international success, Chivas also performed well domestically under Almeyda. Chivas won the nation’s biannual tournament, Copa MX, in 2015 (Apertura) and 2017 (Clausura), as well as the 2016 Supercopa MX. The club also won the Clausura 2017 Liga MX championship, their first league title in more than 20 years. He was subsequently named Liga MX’s Best Coach after winning the league double.

Prior to joining Chivas in 2015, Almeyda was head coach for multiple clubs in his native Argentina.

In June of 2011, Almeyda made the rare transition from player to head coach, where he was tasked with leading a River Plate side that had just suffered relegation. In his debut season as manager, Almeyda led the Argentine power to a commanding 20-5-13 record and promotion back to the nation’s top league. The team also reached the semifinals of Copa Argentina with five consecutive victories, in which they allowed one total goal, before falling to Racing in penalties.

Almeyda left River Plate in November of 2012, joining Argentina’s Club Atletico Banfield a few months later. Banfield had also recently suffered relegation and turned to Almeyda to restore the club to the Primera División. Banfield won the championship and earned promotion in his first season, finishing with a 22-8-12 record and +31 goal differential, scoring a league-best 71 goals in 42 games. Only one other team finished with more than 54 goals that season.

After avoiding relegation in 2014, Almeyda’s side surged ahead in 2015, finishing in eighth place in the 30-team league with a 14-8-8 record and earning qualification for the 2016 Copa Sudamericana. Almeyda departed for Chivas after the team’s successful 2015 season.

Almeyda became a head coach after a lengthy playing career that featured stints in five countries. The defensive midfielder played in nearly 300 club matches, including 129 in Italy’s top-flight Serie A, 63 in Argentina’s Primera División and 28 in Spain’s La Liga, also making 20 appearances in UEFA Champions League competition. He featured for some of the world’s most storied clubs, including Inter Milan, Lazio, Sevilla and River Plate.

Among the trophies he helped lift as a player are three Argentinian championships (’93, ’95, ’96), one Copa Libertadores (’96), one UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup (’99), one UEFA Super Cup (’00), three Italian Cups (‘98, ‘00, ’02) and one Italian championship (’00).

Almeyda started and ended his playing career at River Plate, retiring in 2011 and immediately taking the reins as head coach at 37 years of age.

Internationally, Almeyda made 35 appearances for the Argentina National Team, scoring five goals. He represented his country at the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups.

In their last visit to Avaya Stadium, Sporting KC cruised to a 5-1 victory on Sept. 15, 2018, led by a stunning two-goal, two-assist performance from Gerso Fernandes and a one-goal, two-assist game from Felipe Gutierrez. The goalscorers on the day were Gutierrez, Gerso (2), Opara and Nemeth.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 20, 2019 at San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

MLS UNBEATEN RUN REACHES FIVE MATCHES

BUSIO’S UNPRECEDENTED RUN

Despite suffering elimination from the Concacaf Champions League at the hands of C.F. Monterrey last Thursday, Sporting KC is still riding a five-game unbeaten streak in MLS play. The side has gone 2-0-3 since falling in their season opener to LAFC at Banc of California Stadium - and were seconds away from being unbeaten on the new MLS campaign were it not for Adama Diomande’s 94th minute winner in that contest. Since then, Sporting KC is 2-0-1 at home and 0-0-2 on the road.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio continued his fine early-season form by scoring in the third straight MLS game to secure a 2-2 draw in Sunday’s matchup against the New York Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park. Busio found himself in the right place at the right time to divert Graham Zusi’s shot into the back of the net in the 88th minute.

Busio found the back of the net in a 7-1 demolition of the Montreal Impact on March 30 to become the youngest MLS goal scorer at Children’s Mercy Park, before striking again to clinch a 1-1 draw against FC Cincinnati at Nippert Stadium on April 7 to become the youngest player in MLS history to score in back-to-back games at the age of 16 years and 314 days. He then became the youngest player in MLS history to score game-tying goals in back-to-back games when he equalized late on against the Red Bulls.

Sporting KC opened the season with that heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Los Angeles FC on March 3 before responding with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Children’s Mercy Park over the Philadelphia Union on March 10. Sporting picked up road draws at the Colorado Rapids on March 17 and at FC Cincinnati on April 4 either side of a 7-1 thrashing of the Montreal Impact at home on March 30. The most recent MLS match saw Sporting pick up a point following a 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls at home on Sunday. That leaves Sporting KC in seventh place in the Western Conference with nine points.

Busio now has four goals and one assist having started just three of 12 MLS appearances for the club, totaling just 391 minutes. In 2018, Busio burst onto the scene when he recorded the game-winning assist during his first MLS start in a 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on the road in early August, before tallying his first professional goal in a 4-1 road victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps in mid-October.

Peter Vermes’ side finished the 2018 season atop the Western Conference to clinch the number one seed in their conference for the first time since 2012 when the side was playing in the East. Sporting KC enjoyed the opportunity to spend a full week prepping for Saturday’s game against the San Jose Earthquakes for the first time since having two weeks off prior to the 7-1 demolition of the Montreal Impact. Aside from those two games, Sporting has been played twice a week since the season began on February 21.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RUN COMES TO AN END

Sporting Kansas City’s deep run in the Concacaf Champions League came to a screeching halt last week as the side was defeated in the Semifinal stage by C.F. Monterrey by a 10-2 scoreline, falling 5-0 in the First Leg at Estadio BBVA Bancomer on April 4 and 5-2 in the Second Leg on April 11 at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting KC has gone 5-0-1 against the Earthquakes in their last six meetings, including a 2-0-0 sweep in 2018, leading to a 26-24-8 all-time record against San Jose. Sporting has also gone 10-1-4 against all Californian sides since June of 2016.

Sporting had seen off Mexican side Toluca in the Round of 16 by an impressive 5-0 aggregate scoreline, winning 3-0 at home and 2-0 away - marking the biggest aggregate victory of an MLS team against a Liga MX side in the tournament’s history.

QUAKIN’ IN THEIR BOOTS

Sporting Kansas City hits the road once again this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes at Avaya Stadium on Saturday, April 20. The Earthquakes have endured a tough start to the new season, winning just once in their opening six games on their way to a 1-5-0 record, including a 1-3-0 mark at Avaya Stadium. Sporting are unbeaten against San Jose in the last six, going 5-0-1.

In the Quarterfinals, Sporting KC faced Panamanian surprise package Club Atletico Independiente and were initially in a hole, suffering a 2-1 defeat in the First Leg at Estadio Agustin Sanchez, before rebounding at home with a resounding 3-0 victory to advance to the Semifinal stage 4-2 on aggregate.

Gerso Fernandes and Krisztian Nemeth split the team-lead for goals in the tournament with four, while Gerso and Johnny Russell were tied for the team-lead with two assists over six matches. Sporting KC were the only MLS team to advance to the Semifinals, as Toronto FC was eliminated in the Round of 16 before Atlanta United FC, the Houston Dynamo and the New York Red Bulls were all knocked out in the Quarterfinals.

Sporting’s last visit to Avaya Stadium came on Sept. 15, 2018, as Peter Vermes’ side cruised to a 5-1 victory as part of a late-season surge to claim the number one seed in the Western Conference. Gerso Fernandes (two goals and two assists) and Felipe Gutierrez (one goal and two assists) each produced masterful performances, while Ike Opara and Krisztian Nemeth also got on the scoresheet in the match. Nemeth’s goal was his first for Sporting since returning for a second stint following a trade with the New England Revolution in early August last year.

Sporting reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions League for the first time in the tournament’s current format, though the side had previously reached the Semifinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup in 2002 before falling to Monarcas Morelia of Liga MX with both current Manager Peter Vermes & assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin on the team.

Sporting KC’s other match against San Jose in 2018 came in just the third game of a then nascent MLS season, earning a thrilling 3-2 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on March 17, 2018. Ilie Sanchez gave Sporting the lead from the penalty spot after Johnny Russell was taken down, before Vako Qazaishvili knocked home the equalizer just before the halftime interval. Graham Zusi’s stunner restored Sporting KC’s advantage in the second period before Felipe Gutierrez added what would become the game-winner, following Chris Wondolowski’s late consolation goal.

GERSO CONTINUES HOT STREAK

Sporting Kansas City winger Gerso Fernandes continued his excellent start to the 2019 season with two goals in last Thursday night’s 5-2 defeat to C.F. Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions League Semifinals Second Leg at Children’s Mercy Park. Down 5-0 on aggregate from the First Leg, Gerso gave Sporting a glimmer of hope with a sixth-minute strike, before also making it 2-1 in the 29th minute.

Sporting KC holds a narrow 26-24-8 lead in the all-time series following their recent 5-0-1 run against the Californian side, including a 6-16-7 mark in San Jose. Sporting also has a 10-1-4 record against Californian sides since June of 2016, with the only loss coming in the 2019 season opener - a 2-1 loss at LAFC.

Gerso now has four goals and four assists across 11 appearances in all competitions in 2019, having recorded six goals and six assists across 36 games in 2018. He is Sporting KC’s second-highest scorer so far in 2019, only trailing Krisztian Nemeth’s tally of eight goals in the early parts of the campaign.

RUSSELL ROUNDING INTO FORM

Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell is in the midst of a fine vein of form, having recorded four goals and two assists in his last six matches in all competitions, and is now tied for the team goalscoring lead alongside Krisztian Nemeth with four goals in MLS play, although Nemeth has eight across all competitions.

Gerso arrived in Kansas City ahead of the 2017 MLS season after spending several years in Portugal’s top flight. The Guinea-Bissau native immediately became a fan favorite, scoring a team-best 10 goals across all competitions and helping Sporting lift the 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in his first season.

Russell’s most recent strike came in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park, receiving Nemeth’s delicate pass and rifling a low shot into the corner to give his side a 1-0 lead in the first half. Russell has only failed to score or assist in two of his last six games - the 5-0 loss to C.F. Monterrey in the Concacaf Champions League Semifinal First Leg on April 4 and the 1-1 draw with FC Cincinnati in MLS play on April 7.

Since joining Sporting, only Daniel Salloi has scored more goals in all competitions for the club than Gerso, as the Hungarian’s tally of 22 narrowly edges Gerso’s total of 20.

Additionally, only Graham Zusi (18), Johnny Russell (17) and Roger Espinoza (16) have recorded more assists than Gerso’s tally of 13 since the start of the 2017 season.

TEAMS TO DON PARLEY JERSEYS

Outside of that, Russell salvaged a point for Sporting in a 1-1 road draw with the Colorado Rapids on March 17, tallied two goals and an assist in the 7-1 rout of the Montreal Impact on March 30, before recording another assist in the 5-2 Champions League Semifinal Second Leg defeat to Monterrey on April 11.

For the third straight year, Sporting Kansas City and clubs across MLS will celebrate the Greener Goals Week of Service by wearing special adidas x Parley eco-friendly kits during Earth Day weekend from April 19-21.

These innovative Climalite kits are made from technical yarns comprised of Parley Ocean Plastic, plastic waste collected on beaches and in coastal communities and transformed into high-performance sportswear. Sporting unveiled their 2019 Parley jersey last week and wore them as warmup jerseys during Sunday’s game vs. New York.

Russell, 28, has been a revelation since joining Sporting KC ahead of the 2018 season, tallying 16 goals and 17 assists across 49 appearances in all competitions while playing from a wide position.

LINDSEY UNDERGOES MENISCUS SURGERY

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Lindsey enjoyed a breakout 2018 campaign with Sporting’s first team. The right back started nine of 10 first-team matches in all competitions, becoming the club’s youngest player to log 10 appearances in a season. He earned his first start of 2019 in the first leg of Sporting’s 4-2 aggregate win over Independiente in the CCL Quarterfinals.

The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

On Tuesday, April 2, Sporting Kansas City announced that defender Jaylin Lindsey had undergone successful surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Lindsey, a 19-year-old Academy product, is expected to miss the next four to five months while recovering from the surgery.

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow.

Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid.

Lindsey has represented the U.S. at the U-14, U-15, U-17 and U-20 levels, most recently helping the U-20s to a 2-2 draw with France and a 2-1 win over Japan last month.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

In 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (6), Ilie Sanchez (5), Ike Opara (3), Yohan Croizet (3), Roger Espinoza (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Krisztian Nemeth (1) and Gianluca Busio (1).

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019.

The task begins with the Concacaf Champions League, which began at the end of February, before MLS play began in March while U.S. Open Cup action starts later in the year.

VERMES VERBATIM

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in Major League Soccer, having led Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-2 draw with the New York Red Bulls at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday, April 14, 2019.

Thoughts on the match: “We played very well in the first half. We created a lot of chances. We needed to score more than one goal. Those chances came back to bite us a little bit. It’s unfortunate because I think over the course of the game, we were the better team.”

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 11 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

On the play of Gianluca Busio: “I say it all the time, he’s not 16. He’s like 25. He’s a very mature kid. He gets it. He’s always in the game and he understands what the game needs. He’s an important player for our club and at the same time he’s making big strides in a short period of time.”

Vermes has compiled a 170-120-97 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 135 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

Additional Yellow Cards Shown

Vela’s shot hits Fontas in the midriff and Sibiga waves away the appeal. After reviewing the play, Sibiga confirms that no penalty will be given.

The ball strikes Sinovic’s arm in the box following a corner and Penso signals for another corner. After reviewing the play, Penso awards a penalty.

Gerso pokes the ball into the back of the net off Nemeth’s flick on and a goal is awarded. After reviewing the play, Saghafi deems Gerso was offside and disallows the goal.

Elfath awards a penalty after Mattocks is taken down in the box by Fontas, but Ilie is shown a yellow card. After consulting his VAR, Elfath changes yellow card to Fontas.

After Kaku kicks the ball into the crowd and is shown a red card, a melee ensues between both sides. After reviewing the scuffle, Sibiga shows yellow cards to Robles and Nemeth.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 20, 2019 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 is entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 170 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 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, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight 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 135 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth 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 before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. 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.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 387 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL Championship) 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.

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.

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.

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 was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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.

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.

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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

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.
