HOUSTON DYNAMO FC (1-1-2; 5 pts.) vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY (2-1-1 7 pts.) MLS REGULAR SEASON - MATCH 5

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 · 7:30 p.m. CT · BBVA Stadium · Houston, Texas

HOUSTON DYNAMO FC HOST SPORTING KANSAS CITY Houston Dynamo FC return to BBVA Stadium on Wednesday to host Sporting Kansas City after a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas on Saturday. Wednesday’s match is the second game in a three-match run that began in Frisco and ends on Saturday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park against the Colorado Rapids. The Dynamo enter the match with two consecutive draws and look for their first victory since the opening day triumph over the San Jose Earthquakes on April 16. Fafa Picault scored the lone goal for the Dynamo against Dallas, his first with the club, and the forward enters with a goal and assist in his last two outings. The Dynamo were without Tyler Pasher on Saturday due to a lower body injury and the Canadian winger is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game. Tim Parker wore the captain’s armband for the first time on Saturday and the center back currently leads the team in clearances with eight. Parker was a key acquisition for the Dynamo in the offseason and he will be tasked with limiting a Sporting Kansas City offense that features two of the most dynamic attacking players in Johnny Russell and Alan Pulido. Saturday also marked the return of defender Maynor Figueroa who led the team in tackles, clearances and interceptions with three each against Dallas. The Dynamo and Sporting Kansas City split the series in 2020 with each team winning one game at home and on the road. Dynamo head coach Tab Ramos earned his first victory with Houston against Sporting Kansas City at Children’s Mercy Park. The Dynamo exploded for five goals on Aug. 25 and won the following matchup at BBVA Stadium 2-1 on Sept. 5. Kansas City travel to Houston 48 hours after defeating Austin FC at Children’s Mercy Park with a late goal from midfielder Gadi Kinda. Peter Vermes’ squad earned their first three points since the opened the season with a 2-1 victory on the road in New Jersey against the New York Red Bulls. The Dynamo will travel to Denver on Saturday for the third and final game of this three-game stretch. Houston will face the Colorado Rapids at 8 p.m. CT at Dick’S Sporting Goods Park and the match will air live on QuestTexas ch. 55.

THE LAST TIME THEY MET HOUSTON (Saturday, Oct. 3, 2020) – The Houston Dynamo scored late but were unable to find the equalizer, falling 2-1 to Sporting Kansas City this evening at BBVA Stadium. Tonight’s meeting was the fourth of the season between the two sides, and the win allowed Sporting to salvage a split of the season series, with each team winning twice. Despite the scoreline, the Dynamo had the better of play over the course of the evening, holding the ball for nearly two-thirds of the contest, attempting nearly 600 passes, outshooting Sporting and holding a 17-6 edge in crosses from open play. Sporting took the lead in the 34th minute through forward Alan Pulido. Pulido collected the ball 35 yards from goal and went one-on-two before creating a sliver of space with which to take a shot from six yards out. His low right-footed shot slipped just past the leg of goalkeeper Marko Marić, who had quickly raced off his line to cut down the angle, and into the side netting on the opposite side of the goal. Marić came up with a pair of big saves in the 66th minute to keep Houston in it. First he made himself big to deny Sporting forward Khiry Shelton from 12 yards, then quickly recovered and dove acrobatically to his left to push away the followup shot from forward Johnny Russell. Pulido made it 2-0 in the 73rd minute as he slid to get on the end of a diagonal pass from midfielder Gianluca Busio and lift a shot over an onrushing Marić into the back of the net. Defender Sam Junqua pulled a goal back in th 84th minute with a picture-perfect header off a corner kick from forward Darwin Quintero. Junqua, who replaced Adam Lundkvist in the 78th, rose above the Sporting back line and powered his header into the back of the net for his first professional goal. Late in the match, Dynamo homegrown midfielder Marcelo Palomino made his professional debut, coming in as a substitute on 78 minutes. The three-time Dynamo Academy Player of the Year signed with the First Team in January. The 18-year-old was tidy on the ball in his first minutes as a pro, helping hold possession by completing all 13 passes he attempted while drawing one foul. Houston will be back in action at BBVA Stadium on Wednesday night when they host their in-state rivals FC Dallas. Kickoff for that match is set for 7 p.m. CDT, and a limited number of tickets remain available in the Club’s socially-distanced seating setup.

GAME 5

VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY LAST MATCH at DALLAS FRISCO, Texas (Saturday, May 8, 2021) – Houston Dynamo FC picked up a well-earned road point against their arch-rivals FC Dallas this afternoon at Toyota Stadium in the first round of the 2021 Texas Derby. Offensively, Houston outshot their neighbors to the north 15-13, while on the other end of the pitch they blocked seven of Dallas’ shots before they could reach the goal. The Dynamo drew 21 fouls and won 55 percent of their 50/50 duels in a gritty team effort that gave the team its third positive result in four outings this year. The Dynamo struck first after winning a penalty in the 33rd minute. After floating out to the right wing, midfielder Memo Rodriguez whipped in a cross to midfielder Joe Corona. Corona’s headed shot caught the arm of Dallas defender Bressan and referee Alex Chilowicz immediately whistled for a penalty. Forward Fafa Picault stepped to the spot a minute later and coolly buried his shot into the lower right corner of to give Houston a 1-0 lead over his former club. The goal not only opened Picault’s account with the Dynamo, it also made him the first player to score for both sides in the Texas Derby. Dallas equalized in the 42nd minute through forward Jáder Obrian. The scoring play started with a switch of play from midfielder Andrés Ricuarte to midfielder Bryan Acosta on the left edge of the penalty area. Acosta one-touched a centering pass to Obrian, who was able to tap it home to level things at a goal apiece. The Dynamo nearly retook the lead going into halftime thanks to a oneman counterattack by forward Maxi Urruti. The forward ran onto a clearance after a Dallas corner kick and raced from his own half into the Dallas penalty area before getting off a low right-footed shot that forced a diving save from Dallas goalkeeper Phelipe.

Rodriguez forced a pair of saves from Dallas goalkeeper Phelipe in the second half. In the 50th minute, he unleashed a blast from 30 yards that had plenty of power behind it and was on target, but Phelipe was well positioned to palm it away and recover the rebound. He forced the ‘keeper into action again with a free kick in the 61st minute. After Picault was dragged down just outside the penalty area, Rodriguez laced a low right-footed blast under the wall and toward the lower right corner of the net, forcing Phelipe to dive low to palm the ball wide for a corner kick.

Unused substitutes: Michael Nelson, Alejandro Fuenmayor, Jose Bizama, Christian Ramirez, Mateo Bajamich

Second-half stoppage time saw Urruti once again create a chance out of pure hustle, as he ran around Dallas center back Ryan Hollingshead to put himself in on goal. His first shot forced a save from Phelipe, and the rebound was cleared just before forward Ari Lassiter could run onto it and tap it home.

Houston goalkeeper Marko Marić came up with a key save in the 27th minute, diving to pluck a headed shot from Dallas striker Andrés Ricuarte to keep things scoreless. Ricuarte found space near the penalty spot to get on the end of a cross and sent his headed effort toward the upper right corner before Marić went airborne to snag it. Marić finished the afternoon with two saves, which helped earn another $1,000 for Houston middle school soccer programs through the Every Save Makes A Difference program by TUDN, Allstate and MLS WORKS. To date, Marić has helped generate $2,500 toward soccer equipment for Houston ISD through the program this season.

HOUSTON DYNAMO FC TECHNICAL STAFF HEAD COACH - TAB RAMOS

FIRST ASSISTANT - OMID NAMAZI Namazi brings an extensive coaching background to the Dynamo and holds a USSF PRO License. The former defender started his career as a manager in the Major Indoor Soccer League, earning two-time Coach of the Year honors in 2005 and 2006. Namazi started his international managerial career in 2011 when he became the assistant coach of the Iranian National Team. In 2013, he helped lead Iran to qualification for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Later that year, Namazi was named the assistant coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team before moving on to become an assistant coach on Ramos’ technical staff in the U.S. Men’s U-20 National Team from 2014 to 2017.

Ramos, 54, enters his second season with the Dynamo after serving as the head coach of the United States Under-20 National Team since 2011 and as the U.S. Soccer Youth Technical Director since 2013. During that time, he led the U-20s to the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019 and three consecutive quarterfinal appearances. He was also Assistant Coach to Jurgen Klinsmann including the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil where the U.S. team advanced to the Round of 16. Regionally, Ramos led the United States to two consecutive titles at the Concacaf U-20 Championships, including the country’s first Concacaf U-20 title in 2017 with a win over Honduras in the final. Ramos followed that up by repeating as champion in 2018 with a 2-0 defeat of arch-rival Mexico in the final. Ramos was one of the greatest and most decorated players in American soccer history. Playing in a variety of roles in the midfield, the Uruguay native earned 81 caps with the U.S. Men’s National Team and represented the United States in the 1990, 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups, the 1995 Copa América and the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Ramos was inducted in the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005. He was named U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year in 1990 and was the Concacaf Player of the Year in 1994 after leading the United States to the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time since 1950.

Namazi helped Ramos lead the U.S. to the 2017 Concacaf U-20 Champions. He was also appointed the head coach of the U.S. Men’s U-18 National Team in 2016. The 53-year old became a professional soccer player in 1988 where he debuted with the Washington Diplomats in the American Soccer League. In 1996, Namazi moved to the MLS on loan to the MetroStars before moving into the Major Indoor Soccer League to play with Philadelphia KiXX. While playing in the American Professional Soccer League, the Utah-native earned the Defender of the Year award in 2001. Internationally, Namazi was part of the 2002-2003 U.S. National Futsal Team.

ASSISTANT COACH - MARTIN VASQUEZ

After retiring in 2002, Ramos began his coaching career at the grassroots level and has steadily worked his way up the coaching ladder. In 2004 he founded the youth club NJSA 04 in his home state of New Jersey, building it into one of the strongest clubs in the Garden State. He joined the U-20 National Team as an assistant on Thomas Rongen’s staff in 2009.

Vásquez joins the Dynamo after nearly nine years with the Real Salt Lake organization and three years with U.S. Soccer as an assistant coach and scout for the U.S. Men’s National Team. The 57-year-old also brings experience as a head coach in MLS, having coached Chivas USA in 2010. Vásquez previously worked with Dynamo head coach Tab Ramos at U.S. Soccer from 201114.

While serving as the U-20 National Team head coach, Ramos mentored numerous future professionals and national team stars such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Paul Arriola, Kellyn Acosta and Matt Miazga, among others. That background of teaching and coaching young players aligns with the culture of development that the Dynamo have created under Senior Vice President and General Manager Matt Jordan’s leadership. Born in Uruguay, Ramos moved with his parents to Harrison, New Jersey at the age of 11 and later to Kearny, New Jersey. He became a naturalized United States citizen in 1982 and earned his Bachelor’s in Foreign Language and Literature from NC State in 2001. He is fluent in English and Spanish. Ramos becomes the fourth full-time head coach in club history, following Dominic Kinnear (2006-14), Owen Coyle (2015-16) and Wilmer Cabrera (2017-19). Ramos will assume his duties beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 29 and will be introduced to the Houston-area media shortly thereafter.

The Yahualica, Mexico native began his coaching career following a 17year career in professional soccer across North America. Vásquez began at the grassroots level in Southern California at area high school and collegiate programs prior to his two-year stint as an assistant with the San Diego Spirit of the Women’s United Soccer Association. He remained in Southern California as he transitioned to the MLS coaching ranks. Vásquez held assistant coach positions with the LA Galaxy in 2004 and with Chivas USA from 2005-2008. Vásquez left his post with Chivas USA in 2008 to join the coaching staff at German giants Bayern Munich under Jurgen Klinsmann. The former midfielder returned to Los Angeles in 2010 to serve as the head coach of Chivas USA.

#HOUvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City faces a quick turnaround as the team travels south to take on Houston Dynamo FC at BBVA Stadium on Wednesday night. The game will kick off approximately 72 hours after Sporting earned a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Austin FC at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday night. Sporting and Houston met four times throughout the 2020 season - mainly due to the regionalized scheduling when teams returned to home markets following the MLS is Back Tournament. Sporting earned a 4-0 victory on March 7, 2020 - the club’s final game before COVID-19 suspended MLS play for four months - and suffered 5-2 and 2-1 defeats on Aug. 25 and Sept. 5, before evening up the season series at 2-2-0 with a 2-1 win of their own on Oct. 3, 2020. In that most recent meeting at BBVA Stadium on Oct. 3, Sporting KC striker Alan Pulido bagged a brace with Homegrown midfielder Gianluca Busio assisting each strike. Houston pulled a goal back late but it wasn’t enough as Sporting held on for all three points and kickstarted a run that saw Sporting win six of their final eight regular season games, claiming top spot in the Western Conference in the process. Sporting KC still trails the all-time regular-season series with the Dynamo 10-12-13, but that gap has been closing over the past few years as Sporting has won five of the last eight meetings between the two sides (5-2-1). So far in 2021, Sporting has posted a 2-1-1 record (7 pts.) to claim a tie for fourth spot in the West, while Houston sits outside the playoff positions in a tie for ninth with a 1-1-2 record (5 pts.) on the young MLS season. #HOUvSKC: Recent Meetings (HOU leads 12-10-13 in regular season)

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 12, 2021 at Houston Dynamo FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

LOOKING TO BUILD ON DRAMATIC VICTORY

ZUSI MAKES SPORTING HISTORY

Sporting Kansas City will look to build on their wild come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Austin FC on Sunday night as the team prepares for a pivotal pair of games this week. A trip to Texas to take on Houston Dynamo FC is first on the docket for SKC, before returning home for a Sunday afternoon clash with Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Sporting has gone 2-1-1 (7 pts.) on the season, while Houston sits outside of the playoff spots with a 1-1-2 mark (4 pts.) heading into Wednesday’s game.

In his first appearance since suffering a serious foot injury on Oct. 7, 2020, Sporting Kansas City great Graham Zusi was the talk of the night as the team rallied from a one-goal deficit to top Austin FC 2-1 on Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park. With longtime friend Matt Besler in the building, Zusi surpassed his former teammate to become Sporting KC’s all-time regular-season appearance leader with 295 games played over the past 13 seasons, breaking a tie with Besler at 294. Player Graham Zusi Matt Besler Roger Espinoza Davy Arnaud Kerry Zavagnin

In a strange statistical coincidence, Sporting Kansas City has identical 6-3-2 records both at home and away since the start of the 2020 MLS regular season. So far in 2021, Sporting beat the New York Red Bulls 2-1 in their first road game on April 17 before tumbling to a 3-1 defeat at Real Salt Lake on May 1. Sporting enters the week with a feel-good factor around the team following Sunday’s dramatic conclusion that saw SKC score twice in the closing stages to overturn a onegoal deficit into a 2-1 victory. Ilie Sanchez and Gadi Kinda scored in the 82nd and 90th minutes, respectively, to secure Sporting’s seventh all-time win when trailing in the 80th minute or later.

Years with SKC 2009-present 2009-2020 2008-2012, 2015-present 2002-2011 2000-2008

Now in his 13th season with Sporting, Zusi has matched former Chicago Fire defender C.J. Brown (1998-2010) for the most MLS seasons played all with the same club. And among one-club players in MLS history, Zusi’s 295 regular season appearances for Sporting rank third most.

Sporting now boasts a 6-0-1 record in their inaugural meetings with MLS expansion teams since 2016. The only expansion club to defeat Sporting in its first trip to Children’s Mercy Park was the Montreal Impact, now known as CF Montreal, in 2012.

RUSSELL NAMED TO MLS TEAM OF THE WEEK

Sporting Kansas City captain Johnny Russell enjoye his best performance of the season to date during Sporting’s 2-1 victory over Austin FC on Sunday night. Russell, who suffered an ankle injury in preseason which limited his minutes in the first three games, went the full 90 minutes, played a pivotal role in Sporting’s late comeback and was rewarded with a spot on the MLS Team of the Week on Monday.

Sporting KC now heads to Houston where the side has gone 2-1-1 in their last four visits, while Sporting are 5-2-1 against the Dynamo in the last eight meetings in MLS regular-season play.

DYNAMO DUST-UP

On his 100th appearance for the club in all competitions, Russell earned an assist on the game-tying goal when his corner found the head of Ilie Sanchez in the 82nd minute, while he also set a Sporting record during the Opta era with eight chances created. No other player has created more chances in a game this season across all of MLS.

Just 72 hours after defeating Austin FC in a pulsating encounter at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday night, Sporting Kansas City return to action on Wednesday night as the side travels south to take on Houston Dynamo FC at BBVA Stadium in Texas. Sporting trails the regular-season series 10-12-13, while the teams split the season series in 2020, going 2-2-0.

Since Opta began tracking the chance creation statistic in 2010, four other Kansas City players - Ilie, Graham Zusi, Benny Feilhaber and Bobby Convey - had created seven chances in a game. Russell was the very first to amass eight. For added perspective, only one other player had eight chances created and a primary assist in MLS last year, as New England’s Carles Gil managed the feat on July 9, 2020.

In the final game before COVID-19 suspended the 2020 season, Sporting KC thrashed Houston 4-0 at Children’s Mercy Park in their home opener on March 7, 2020. Alan Pulido, Roger Espinoza, Gadi Kinda and Khiry Shelton did the damage as Sporting made it two wins from two in front of a raucous home crowd.

MLS CELEBRATES SOCCER FOR ALL WEEK

On Monday morning, Major League Soccer announced the launch of Soccer For All week (May 10-16) to highlight the collective efforts and strategic partnerships taking place throughout the League to foster more inclusive and equitable communities.

Sporting’s second home opener of the season on Aug. 25, 2020 - the first home game after returning from the MLS is Back Tournament - went the opposite way as Houston ran riot at Children’s Mercy Park on their way to a 5-2 victory, with Johnny Russell and Kinda on the scoresheet for the hosts. Ten days later Sporting saw a first-half lead evaporate at BBVA Stadium as Erik Hurtado’s goal wasn’t enough in a 2-1 loss on Sept. 5, 2020.

First introduced by MLS in 2018 through MLS WORKS, the League’s social responsibility platform, Soccer For All signifies that everyone is welcome to MLS, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status, and emphasizes the League’s commitment to drive positive social change and end discrimination.

The final meeting between the teams last season came on Oct. 3, 2020 where Sporting snatched all three points on the road in Houston after a brace from Alan Pulido, who was set up by Gianluca Busio for both of his goals on the way to a 2-1 victory.

MLS and its clubs will conduct initiatives year-long that provide inclusive opportunities in-stadium and for members of the local community including sensory rooms, minipitch builds and youth soccer programming, equipment donations to underserved and underrepresented communities, and first-team experiences for individuals with and without intellectual and physical disabilities.

Sporting may trail the all-time regular-season series but has been closing the gap over the past few years, going 5-2-1 in the last eight regular-season meetings, including a 2-1-1 mark at BBVA Stadium since the start of 2018.

ILIE & KINDA SCORE TIMELY GOALS

POSTGAME PV

With the clock working against Sporting Kansas City on Sunday night, midfielders Ilie Sanchez and Gadi Kinda popped up with two vitally important goals to flip a 1-0 hole into a 2-1 victory with a pair of headers in the 82nd and 90th minutes against Austin FC. Kinda now leads the team with two goals on the season, while Ilie netted his first regular-season goal in almost two years having last scored against NYC in July 2019.

On the second half substitutions in the 2-1 win over Austin FC: “We actually were looking to get Khiry (Shelton) as a second forward. That’s what we were trying to do, and we wanted to go to three at the back. We decided to make the changes that we did. Daniel (Salloi) was incredibly dangerous. He had some great chances. I thought the goalkeeper made a tremendous save on the one late in the second half there where he tipped it over the bar when Daniel cut inside. It was a great strike. The goalkeeper made a great save. He was keeping them in the game. We wanted to apply pressure with another person in the middle to give us a reference point and I thought that having Khiry in there really helped us.”

When Ilie met Johnny Russell’s corner kick to level the score, it extended an impressive run of scoring in home games. Sporting KC has not been shutout at home since July 20, 2019 - a 2-0 loss to FC Dallas - and has now scored in 17 consecutive regular-season games at Children’s Mercy Park, the second longest streak in club history. Sporting scored in 20 consecutive home matches from June 17, 2011 to April 14, 2012.

On the team creating so many chances: “What I really appreciate about the guys is that I said to them at halftime, ‘There’s no reason to come in at halftime and feel down.’ We created some really good chances. We’re still trying to find ourselves for a number of reasons. We’re still trying to get fit. We’re trying to just get bodies on the field. There’s a lot of different things that we’re trying to do right now. We’re just not fully there yet. What I really like is that the guys kept a good mentality going into the second half and really never gave up trying to get back into the game. They were purposeful about the decisions that they made in and around the box. Luis (Martins) today with his service was tremendous. He was really, really good with his service today. I think that made a big difference in the game.”

Kinda’s smartly taken header just as the clock ticked into stoppage time completed the comeback for Sporting KC and marked just the seventh time in club history that Sporting has overturned a deficit in the 80th minute or later to win a game in the MLS regular season. Sporting last came back from a late deficit to win the match in a wild 3-2 victory over Houston Dynamo FC at Children’s Mercy Park on June 23, 2018, scoring in the 85th and 88th minutes to claim all three points. Kinda has been a revelation since joining Sporting ahead of the 2020 season and now has eight goals and four assists in 22 regular-season appearances for the club.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 12, 2021 at Houston Dynamo FC | 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 192 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 157 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 445 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.
