Sporting KC Game Notes | April 23, 2021 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvORL: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvORL: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is set to open their 2021 slate of home matches this Friday night when the team plays host to Orlando City SC in the club’s home opener on FS1 and FOX Deportes. Sporting opened the season with an impressive come-from-behind 2-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena last Saturday, while Orlando began their campaign at home with a 0-0 stalemate against rivals Atlanta United FC on Saturday afternoon.

Orlando was one of the few Eastern Conference sides Sporting played in 2020 and is one of just three East foes that SKC will take on in 2021. In their sole meeting last year, Orlando came to Children’s Mercy Park and claimed a 2-1 victory on Sept. 23.

Tesho Akindele and Benji Michel each scored late in the first half, before Johnny Russell cut the deficit early in the second period but Sporting was unable to find an equalizer.

Last season’s loss was the first time in the regular season series between the two sides that the away team had claimed all three points. Sporting holds a 2-1-0 record at home and a 0-2-1 mark in Orlando, leaving the Lions with a 3-2-1 lead in the overall series.

Sporting KC’s last paid a visit to Exploria Stadium on Aug. 14, 2019. Tesho Akindele got Orlando off the mark early on the night and Sporting was unable to claw their way back into the game and fell 1-0.

The two sides have met twice in the U.S. Open Cup, in 2012 & 2013. Sporting KC emerged victorious in the Third Round encounter at Children’s Mercy Park on May 29, 2012, behind two goals from Soony Saad and another from Paulo Nagamura. The opposite was the case in 2013, when Long Tan scored in just the second minute for Orlando to earn the visitors the victory at CMP in a Fourth Round contest.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 23, 2021 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

HOME OPENER AWAITS

PULSKAMP, WALTER & ISI IMPRESS ON DEBUT

Sporting Kansas City is set to play it’s first game at Children’s Mercy Park in over four months when the team hosts Orlando City SC on Friday night at 6:30 p.m. CT. Sporting last took the field at home on December 3, 2020 - falling to Minnesota United FC in the MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals.

Sporting Kansas City had a trio of players make their MLS and Sporting KC debuts during last Saturday’s impressive 2-1 victory on the road against the New York Red Bulls.

The surprise starter was goalkeeper John Pulskamp, called into action after three Sporting KC goalkeepers were out injured in Tim Melia, Kendall McIntosh and Brooks Thompson. The California native, who turned 20 on Monday, made two saves and only conceded a stunning volley from Caden Clark on his MLS debut, earning plaudits from Peter Vermes, pundits and fans.

Friday’s encounter features two teams that enjoyed successful 2020 campaigns, as Sporting finished atop the Western Conference regular season standings and Orlando reached the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time in club history.

While Orlando City SC claimed a 2-1 victory in their last visit to Children’s Mercy Park on September 23, 2020 - teams have found it very difficult to top Sporting KC in their home opener throughout the years. Sporting owns a 15-3-7 all-time record in home openers including a 4-1-5 mark at Children’s Mercy Park - and has the chance to move level with the Red Bulls for the most home-opening victories in MLS on Friday.

In the No. 6 spot, Remi Walter made his first appearance for the club and impressed in both his defensive play and in possession. After playing a role in Sporting’s go-ahead goal, Walter’s ability to cut out attacks in front of his backline was a key part of why Sporting returned home from Red Bull Arena with all three points.

Finally, center back Nicolas Isimat-Mirin, known to all as Isi, turned in an impressive performance of his own alongside Andreu Fontas in the heart of the defense. Isimat and Fontas anchored a defensive effort that limited New York to three shots on target, also combining for 19 clearances, the most by a Sporting center back duo in an MLS match over the last six seasons.

VERMES SET FOR MAJOR MILESTONE

Sporting Kansas City Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes is set to reach a major milestone on Friday night, as he takes part in his 600th MLS match (regular season and playoffs) as both a player and a coach.

Friday’s match is sold out as Sporting prepares to welcome approximately 7,000 fans into Children’s Mercy Park - almost double the amount of fans that were permitted instadium when the 2020 season came to a close.

TAMING THE LIONS

With Sporting KC set to take on just three Eastern Conference teams in 2021, the side is set to play their second consecutive foe from the East to start the season this Friday night when Orlando City SC visits Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting topped the New York Red Bulls on opening day last Saturday, while Orlando played to a scoreless draw at home against rivals Atlanta United FC earlier in the afternoon.

Vermes has become an institution in Kansas City as one of the league’s winningest managers. He has hoisted four major trophies - the 2013 MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup titles in 2012, 2015 and 2017 - finished atop the conference standings four times and led Sporting to nine playoff appearances in the last 10 seasons.

Sporting’s last match against Orlando came on September 23, 2020. Orlando jumped into a two goal lead just before halftime, with Tesho Akindele and Benji Michel scoring in quick succession and giving the visitors control of the game. Johnny Russell pulled a goal back for Sporting KC early in the second period but the home side was unable to find an equalizer and fell 2-1.

PLAYERS & STAFF RECEIVE COVID-19 VACCINATION

On Monday morning, Sporting Kansas City teamed up with grocery partner, Price Chopper, to provide COVID-19 vaccinations to Sporting KC players and staff.

In 2019, Sporting KC visited Exploria Stadium in mid-August, also suffering a 1-0 defeat on a hot and humid evening in Orlando. Tesho Akindele was once again the scorer, giving Orlando the lead early in the first half. Despite a slew of second-half chances, Sporting suffered a 1-0 defeat.

All residents of Kansas and Missouri that are 16 years of age and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. To date, over 4,500,000 doses of the vaccine have been administered in Kansas and Missouri combined.

Orlando now leads Sporting KC in the all-time regular-season series 3-2-1, with Sporting holding a 2-1-0 edge at Children’s Mercy Park following one-goal victories in 2016 and 2018. The two sides have also met twice in the U.S. Open Cup through the years, with Sporting knocking out Orlando in the Third Round in 2012 before the Lions returned the favor in the Fourth Round in 2013.

Sporting KC and Major League Soccer will continue to operate under strict health and safety protocols, including guidance and restrictions surrounding travel, testing, the use of masks and PPE, and high risk behavior/exposure.

POSTGAME PV

SALLOI BACK WITH A BANG

On the mentality of the team after an impressive victory: “I would’ve said prior to the game, and I don’t mean this in a bad way, you never know what the mentality is until you start facing situations of adversity. So having come into a place like this where it’s very, very difficult to play, you add in that there’s another layer in that I think that they’re a very aggressive, high-pressing team and also just likes to play the ball long when you step out to them, it becomes a very frantic game and I thought our players handled it extremely well. I thought the first half they stayed in the game – I thought we started well, we were under pressure a little bit in the middle part of the half, and then at the end of the half I thought we started to feel ourselves. They come out and score, kind of a fluke – good goal, but a fluke the way it got there. The resiliency in the group to come back and get two goals like they did and not fold, excellent. I would say, for the first game, to come back from something like that is just an excellent mentality.”

Sporting Kansas City forward Daniel Salloi enjoyed a dream start to the 2021 campaign, scoring the game-winning goal in last Saturday’s 2-1 road win over the New York Red Bulls. Just a minute after Gadi Kinda had equalized from the spot, Salloi was in the right place at the right time to send home Shelton’s brilliant cross at the back post.

The two goals came just 62 seconds apart, marking just the sixth time in Sporting’s 26-year history - and the first time since 2007 - that the club had scored in consecutive minutes of an MLS match. Not too surprisingly, Sporting has won each of those six games.

Salloi’s goal was his first since September of 2019, having been limited to just 165 minutes of playing time in 2020. It was also his first game-winning goal since the 2018 regular-season finale - a 2-1 victory over LAFC at Children’s Mercy Park that clinched top spot in the West. Salloi now has seven game-winning goals for Sporting in MLS regular-season play, tied for the ninth most in club history.

On Daniel Salloi gaining momentum heading into the season following his game-winner: “It doesn’t surprise me because he’s been doing so well in preseason. He came in, great mentality, fit, he’s worked on both sides of the ball and like I said earlier, his movement off the ball was tremendous today – I thought he caused a lot of problem for the right back because he was just getting in behind him and he was putting him under pressure.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Daniel has all those aspects that go with the game and I’m very happy that he got the goal tonight. I said earlier, it was a magnificent goal, just the build-up – the way we got there – we work on that stuff pretty regularly so to see that happen is pretty rewarding even for the coaching staff.”

The Hungarian youth international now has 24 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for Sporting KC, trailing just Graham Zusi (32) and Johnny Russell (27) in goals scored among players on the current roster. A return to form for Salloi, who broke out with 16 goals and seven assists in all competitions in 2018, will go a long way to ensuring Sporting is fighting for titles in 2021.

Sporting KC Game Notes | April 23, 2021 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager & Sporting Director | 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 13th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2021 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 191 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 regularseason standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018 and 2020. 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 156 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 442 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.

With over 13 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the eighth longest active run.

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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, Sporting Kansas City II (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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Figueres of the Spanish Second Division.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty is in his fifth season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Sporting KC II 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.

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.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful season 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

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, making one appearance before joining the MLS reserve goalkeeper pool. In 2010, Dufty joined USSF D2 Pro League side AC St. Louis, making 30 appearances before returning to MLS with the Chicago Fire in late 2010.

He announced his retirement at the conclusion of the 2011 season. Dufty then took to coaching, first working with Florida Gulf Coast University and then the University of Illinois at Chicago. In 2015, Dufty served as goalkeeper coach for Toronto FC II in their inaugural USL season.

Isimat has played over 250 professional matches since 2010, featuring in the top divisions of France, the Netherlands and Turkey. He has logged 93 appearances each in France’s Ligue 1 and the Dutch Eredivisie, where he won three league titles as an integral member of PSV Eindhoven.

In 2014, Isimat was loaned from Monaco to PSV Eindhoven. In his first Eredivisie season, he helped PSV win the league title by a 17-point margin, leading to PSV acquiring the defender on a permanent transfer ahead of the 2015-16 campaign. He appeared in 26 matches as PSV captured another Eredivisie title. Isimat and PSV won their third title in four years in 2017-2018. In early 2019, Isimat joined Besiktas in Turkey, starting 14 matches during the latter half of the season. For the 2019-20 campaign, the defender was loaned back to Ligue 1 for a stint with Toulouse, making 16 starts.

Born in the Paris suburb of Meudon, Isimat competed in the famous Clairefontaine youth academy from 2004-2007 before continuing his development at Rennes and Valenciennes. He began his professional career as an 18-year-old in 2010 and spent the next three seasons as a regular starter for Valenciennes. Isimat-Mirin landed a transfer to French title contender Monaco, where he played 11 matches for the club in all competitions during the 2013-14 season.

Isimat represented France as a U-20 and U-21 youth international and notably featured during 2013 UEFA European U-21 Championship qualifying. He struck a center back partnership alongside future World Cup winner Raphael Varane as France finished atop their qualifying group.

Sporting Kansas City announced in January 2020 that the club had acquired central midfielder Gadi Kinda on a one-year loan from Israeli Premier League side Beitar Jerusalem. Sporting made the loan move permanent ahead of the 2021 season. Kinda has played over 200 matches in Israel since turning professional in 2011 at age 17. He starred as one of the Israeli Premier League’s best players during the first half of the 2019-20 season.

He became a regular starter for Ashdod during the 2013-2014 campaign, notably scoring his first top-fight goal in a 3-2 defeat of Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa in September 2013.

Born in Ethiopia and raised in Israel, Kinda joined Beitar Jerusalem in February 2019 and started 30 of 31 appearances in all competitions. Kinda spent the first seven and a half years of his professional career at FC Ashdod. He developed as a youth in his hometown club’s academy prior to landing an top-flight debut in September 2011 as a 17-year-old.

Ashdod spent the 2015-16 season in Israel’s second division, but a strong bounce-back culminated with a Liga Leumit title as Kinda earned 27 appearances and helped his team finish atop the standings. Ashdod’s promotion saw Kinda tally seven goals and seven assists over the next two and a half seasons before his transfer to Beitar Jerusalem.

On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.

MATCH STORYLINES LAST TIME AT CHILDREN'S MERCY PARK...

The Lions last traveled to Kansas City on Sept. 23, 2020, taking a 2-1 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on the night.

Tesho Akindele started things off for City with a finish in the 36th minute followed by Benji Michel doubling the advantage just two minutes later. Sporting would go on to halve the deficit with a goal from Johnny Russell in the 53rd, but the Lions held on to take all three points from the contest and set a new Club-record at seven matches unbeaten at the time.

FACING THE WEST Friday night will serve as one of just two matches for the Lions against Western Conference opposition and the only one on the road in the 2021 regular season. In just two months time, City will play host to its only other interconference opponent for the year, welcoming the San Jose Earthquakes to Exploria Stadium on Tuesday, June 22.

EL PULPO Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese registered three saves on Saturday en route to his first clean sheet of the campaign and his fourth in regular-season action since joining the Lions ahead of the 2020 MLS slate. One of those four also came on opening weekend when “El Pulpo” had to record just one save in his MLS debut on Feb. 29, 2020 to maintain the shutout against Real Salt Lake to open the Lions’ 2020 campaign.

FAMILIAR FACES Head Coach Oscar Pareja debuted a starting lineup on Saturday comprised mostly of familiar faces, with 10 of his 11 starters being returners from a year ago. Forward Alexandre Pato marked the only new addition to begin the match for City, with forward Silvester van der Water serving as the other debutant on the afternoon, entering the match in the 80th minute. The Lions made just six additions this offseason, highlighted by Saturday’s debutants up top.

THE POINT MAN Forward Tesho Akindele has enjoyed success against Friday’s opposition since joining the Lions ahead of the 2019 MLS campaign, finding the back of the net in each of his two appearances for Orlando against SKC. Akindele scored the eventual game-winner at Exploria Stadium on Aug. 14, 2019 before opening the scoring at Children’s Mercy Park a year ago to add to his total. With his two finishes, Akindele sits tied with former Lions midfielder Adrian Winter and former Sporting KC midfielder Latif Blessing for the alltime regular season lead in goals scored between the two clubs.

PREVIOUS MATCH RECAP Orlando City SC (0-0-1, 1 point) remained unbeaten in opening fixtures on Saturday afternoon, battling to a scoreless draw with Atlanta United FC (0-0-1, 1 point) to open its 2021 Major League Soccer regular season.

Forwards Alexandre Pato and Silvester van der Water each earned their Orlando City debuts in the match, the former serving as the lone newcomer in Head Coach Oscar Pareja’s starting lineup while the latter entered for the Brazilian forward in the 80th minute of play.

Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese registered the clean sheet on the day, the second-consecutive year he has done so to open a campaign after the Lions battled to a scoreless result against Real Salt Lake to kick off the season in 2020.

LAST TIME VS. OPPONENT Orlando City SC battled to a 2-1 victory over Western Conference side Sporting Kansas City on Sept. 23, 2020 at Children’s Mercy Park. With the win, the Lions extended their unbeaten run to seven-consecutive matches, passing the previous Club-record of six set in 2018.

Tesho Akindele and Benji Michel found the back of the net for the Lions in the match, just two minutes apart from one another in the 36th and 38th minutes, respectively. Akindele’s finish served as his second of the MLS regular season, while Benji Michel netted his fourth goal in the Lions’ last five matches in the contest.

MATCH PREVIEW Orlando City SC (0-0-1, 1 point) embarks on its first road trip of the 2021 Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season, set to take on Sporting Kansas City (1-0-0, 3 points) on Friday, April 23 at Children’s Mercy Park.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. The match, presented by Bodyarmor, will be nationally broadcast on FS1 and Fox Deportes while being transmitted on 96.9 The Game in English and Acción 97.9FM, 810AM in Spanish.

“Quick turnaround now. We have the competition in front of us, we started after the game analyzing what we did against Atlanta [United] and how we can progress it,” Head Coach Oscar Pareja said. “Now we have just been organizing for the game against [Sporting] Kansas [City], that’s been the focus.”

Friday will mark one of just two regular-season meetings between Western Conference opponents for City this season, the next not coming until June 22 when the side hosts the San Jose Earthquakes at Exploria Stadium.

The Lions enter Friday’s contest after opening the 2021 campaign with a scoreless draw against Atlanta United FC at Exploria Stadium this past Saturday. Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese registered three saves en route to his first clean sheet of the calendar year, while forwards Alexandre Pato and Silvester van der Water made their long-awaited debuts in purple.

Sporting KC comes into the matchup looking to build off a 2-1 victory at New York Red Bulls on opening weekend.

Caden Clark opened the scoring for the home side in the 48th minute only to be answered by Gadi Kinda from the spot in the 59th, with Daniel Sallói netting the eventual game-winner a minute later.

After finishing atop the Western Conference a year ago, Head Coach Peter Vermes and company return a number of attacking options from a year ago, including Kinda, Alan Pulido and Johnny Russell, who led the side with six goals apiece in 2020. Tim Melia will occupy the sticks once more for SKC, while defender Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and midfielder Remi Walter highlight the key acquisitions for the side heading into 2021.

Following Friday’s match, the Lions will return home for a two-game stint at Exploria Stadium, first set to host FC Cincinnati on Saturday, May 1 before welcoming 2015 expansion rivals New York City FC a week later.

EVP OF SOCCER OPS LUIZ MUZZI

HEAD COACH OSCAR PAREJA

Luiz Muzzi was brought to Orlando City in January 2019. Muzzi oversees soccer operations for Orlando City of Major League Soccer (MLS), including the management of all player-related matters, scouting efforts and overall team administration.

Oscar Pareja was named the Orlando City Head Coach on December 4, 2019, joining the Lions from Club Tijuana of Liga MX, a stint that followed an accomplished tenure at FC Dallas of Major League Soccer.

Muzzi came to Orlando after serving six years with FC Dallas in multiple soccer operations roles, overseeing all aspects of player personnel, scouting and team administration.

Before his time in Mexico, Pareja spent five seasons at FC Dallas where he served as the head coach, working directly with Luiz Muzzi to build one of the premier development pyramids across MLS.

While in Frisco, Muzzi built a roster that reached the MLS playoffs four out of the past five seasons, including two Western Conference Semifinal appearances and a Western Conference Final appearance in 2015. During that span, FC Dallas finished the MLS regular season in first place in 2015 and 2016, and also won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and claimed the MLS Supporters’ Shield for the first time in club history in 2016.

Muzzi was integral in building one of the most dominant developmental academies in North America, while setting numerous MLS Homegrown records, with FC Dallas.

In 2019, Muzzi led the charge in formulating a backline that tied a Clubrecord for shutouts in a single season, helping the Lions to concede 22 less goals than the year prior. This marked the second-best improvement of any team in Major League Soccer from the previous year.

ASSISTANT COACH DIEGO TORRES Diego Torres joined the Orlando City staff prior to the 2020 Major League Soccer season after over a decade spent at Club Tijuana in various roles, where he worked with Oscar Pareja in 2019.

While at Tijuana, Torres spent time as an assistant coach and as the club’s Technical Director for its academy. In 2017, he was named interim manager, returning to his role as an assistant upon conclusion of the year. Beginning in 2012, he also served as an assistant for Ascenso MX side Dorados de Sinaloa, with stints in 2012, 2014 and 2018.

On the field, Torres enjoyed a 10-year career as a professional throughout Mexico. He made his professional debut in 1998 for Tecos F.C. and would go on to total over 200 professional appearances across several Mexican clubs in over a decade of play, scoring 42 goals.

GOALKEEPER COACH CÉSAR BAENA César Baena was named to the First Team staff following three years working in Orlando, most recently serving as a goalkeeping coach for the Orlando City Development Academy. Prior to his time in Orlando, Baena spent eight years working with a number of clubs in Venezuela and Mexico, including Carabobo FC, Mineros de Guayana, Deportivo Lara FC, Club Tijuana and Caracas FC where he began his coaching career in 2001.

On the pitch, Baena was a regular in goal for the Venezuelan National Team, appearing in World Cup Qualifiers for the 1986, 1990 and 1998 editions of the tournament. Overall, he played 20 years as a professional with various clubs in Venezuela and Bolivia, including Caracas FC, Estudiantes de Merida FC, Merida FC and Club Deportivo Oriente Petrolero.

While at Dallas, he compiled a 78-49-43 record, including a 2016 season that saw Pareja earn MLS Coach of the Year honors following a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title and the MLS Supporters’ Shield. During his tenure, FC Dallas reached the postseason four out of five seasons.

Prior to his time as Dallas’ head coach, the Medellin, Colombia native spent two seasons as the manager of the Colorado Rapids, reaching the playoffs in 2013.

Before serving at the helm, he spent a number of years working with the FC Dallas Academy, as well as an assistant on the first team staff.

In the 2010-11 season, the same season that saw U.S. Soccer rank the FC Dallas Academy No. 1 in the nation, Pareja earned U-18 Academy Coach of the Year. Pareja also spent time coaching the U.S. U-17 Men’s National Team from 2007-08.

On the pitch, Pareja played over 400 matches professionally in his native country of Colombia between Independiente Medellin and Deportivo Cali. Prior to the 1998 season, Pareja was allocated to the New England Revolution, but was traded to the Dallas Burn after 13 games where he would go on to play 170 matches, tallying 13 goals and 47 assists. On the international stage, Pareja totaled 11 caps for Colombia, scoring three goals and appearing in the 1991 Copa América.

ASSISTANT COACH JOSEMA BAZAN Josema Bazan joined the Lions ahead of the 2020 season following six years on Oscar Pareja’s staff, beginning in 2014 where he joined FC Dallas in the same capacity.

A USSF “A” licensed coach, Bazan joined the FC Dallas organization in 2011 as an academy coach for its U-16 and U-18 sides, where he first worked with Pareja. In 2014, he was promoted to an assistant coaching position and has occupied the same role under Pareja ever since. He has also served as an assistant for the U-17, U-20 and senior Venezuelan National Teams.

As a player, Josema played on the international stage for his native country of Argentina at the 1991 U-20 World Cup. Throughout his professional career, he spent time in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Brazil from 1986 to 1996, before finishing his playing career in Dallas as a member of the DFW Tornadoes of the former United Soccer Leagues’ D3 Pro League.
