PLEDGE 74 The San Jose Earthquakes have launched a unique club-wide community initiative called Pledge 74 to tackle food insecurity concerns in the South Bay over the next 18 months. Many residents of San Jose and the South Bay community are unsure where their next meal will come from, and Pledge 74 was created to combat these concerns that have been exacerbated by COVID-19. Visit www.pledge74.org for more information. The Quakes’ objective is to raise and donate $740,000, promote volunteerism and increase overall awareness of this growing problem. Pledge 74 was named after the team’s founding in 1974 and carries a legacy of nearly 50 years of community service. Although the Pledge 74 campaign is just being launched under a formal name, the Earthquakes have taken many actionable steps towards this cause since March. The club has contributed more than $50,000 towards food insecurity, including a $21,000 donation to feed students of the Alum Rock Union School District after school closures back in March. The Quakes have also held events to feed frontline workers at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Palo Alto Medical Foundation’s Mountain View Center, part of the Sutter Health network, as well as creating charitable merchandise to benefit United Farm Workers. As unemployment figures continue to balloon in California, the reliance on food banks and other forms of government aid are at an all-time high. CalFresh, also known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), has seen applications surge more than 250% since the onset of COVID-19. Farm workers in California produce one-third of the nation’s vegetables and two-thirds of the fruits and nuts. However, these essential yet impoverished men and women responsible for feeding America are often not eligible for COVID-related assistance. Four out of every five students in the Alum Rock Union School District qualify for free or reduced lunches, but these resources have been strained and are being propped up by sporadic contributions and volunteers. The Earthquakes’ aforementioned donation, in tandem with local volunteers, helped feed the 12,000 students in the district. The Quakes are leaving no stone unturned in their fight against food insecurity and are extending their efforts club wide. Below is a full description of the club’s contributions to fighting hunger in the South Bay. Volunteerism All Earthquakes full-time staff members will volunteer at least 7.4 hours each, with incentives provided for those who go above and beyond for their community. Earthquakes players will also contribute an aggregated total of 74 hours of volunteer service, along with additional hours by members of the Quakes Youth Academy. Marketing Resources At least 7.4% of all ad-buys will specifically target awareness of food security issues. The club will also make a concerted effort to fund billboards around Silicon Valley for this cause as well as generate PSAs and leverage local influencers to amplify messaging. Local news outlets NBC Bay Area (KNTV) and Telemundo 48 (KSTS) will take a leading role in promoting the club’s content. Sales and Service Every dollar of new season ticket deposits will go to food security partners, and all deposits made within the first 74 hours after the launch of Pledge 74 will be matched by the Earthquakes. Additionally, more than $0.74 of every single-game ticket will go to the program and free suite tickets and parking will be used as rewards for top volunteers outside the organization. Sponsorship The Earthquakes are fortunate to have many team partners with shared values in the community. Our team and our partners will continue to elevate the platform and contribute to food insecurity initiatives around our community. Merchandise The Quakes will create and sell specific Pledge 74 items, with 100% of proceeds benefitting food security. Additionally, the Quakes will work with Fanatics to create fundraising opportunities for Pledge 74. Food The Quakes will work in tandem with stadium concessionaire Spectra to donate unused food to local food banks after every home match. The Earthquakes will also provide assistance to club partners in the restaurant business to donate unused food as well. Operations The Earthquakes and Earthquakes Stadium will continue to be a home for community programming, events, and educational opportunities. Ranging from our sustainable garden, to using our facilities to help organize food donations and packing events, Earthquakes Stadium will be a home for Pledge 74. Events The club generally charges a fee to outside organizations for stadium usage but will offer 74 hours of complimentary use to food banks or other allies in the fight against hunger. Fans Fans will be incentivized to volunteer or donate through a rewards program. The most involved members of the community will have an opportunity to score free season tickets.

QUOTEABLE SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MATIAS ALMEYDA On improving the team’s offense: “I think football is simple. If you score goals and they don’t, you win. If you concede and they don’t, you lose. Today’s match was similar to our previous match. We were able to create opportunities from headers, a penalty and rebounds we could not get to. The opponents had created two dangerous chances and they converted, and we cannot afford mistakes against these teams. We will keep working to capitalize on the chances we are getting.” On giving minutes to younger players: “It brings me pleasure to allow young players to make their debut. It’s not easy to come on in these types of games. Sometimes because of nerves and trying to be perfect, not everything goes right. This is the team we have, with many young players. The day they all have 40 appearances in the first division, and they remain in this league, with this system and style of play, we will become more competitive.” SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES MIDFIELDER CRISTIAN ESPINOZA On the team’s finishing: “We need to be more attentive in the final stretch where we really need to make a difference. The goals result from our ability to finish them. We have been great in that sense but in our last two matches, we were unlucky in our finishing. Other times, we cannot capitalize because of the virtues in the opponent. We will keep working and move forward. We have important upcoming matches and now is not the time to give up.” On creating more dangerous chances: “I think today’s match was difficult for everyone, especially the attackers. The opponent just waited in their area, defended throughout the entire match and created counterattacks, and that is how they scored. Personally, I don’t feel that neither my teammates nor I performed badly. When you face an opponent with practically 11 players in their own half, it becomes difficult to find space. We have to find a way to generate attacking plays. In this match, the opponent stayed in their area and waited for our mistakes to launch a counter.”

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.

CAPTAIN AMERICA Not only has San Jose Earthquakes midfielder Jackson Yueill commanded the captain’s armband, but the UCLA product was also selected as team captain for the U.S. U-23s at the Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Championship. The Bloomington, Minn. native affirmed his teammates’ faith in him by scoring two goals, including arguably the goal of the tournament. Yueill, 24, has earned effusive praise from players, coaches, opponents, and media, and it’s not hard to see why. The former first-round SuperDraft selection can pick a pass unlike many in Major League Soccer, and has developed a physicality to match his flair. Yueill’s rapid rise has already seen him make nine appearances for the senior U.S. National Team.

“The San Jose Earthquakes midfielder is a calming presence on the pitch, a playmaker with vision and the ability to connect over distance, and a maturing presence whose performances for the US — particularly in the September friendly with Uruguay and November’s second Concacaf Nations League clash with Canada — suggest he could be the chief man in the middle going forward.”

Scott French January 31, 2020 “There’s so much promise for him, just because of the way he’s controlling the ball and also paying attention to what the coaches are asking of him, and then adapting and changing his game. It’s a good character trait to have and I think he’s going to be a phenomenal player.”

USMNT forward Gyasi Zardes October 2019 “Yueill looked the part of a proper, international-caliber regista against Uruguay in a friendly played in third gear back in September, then was a central part of the US team that absolutely dusted Canada in November’s Concacaf Nations League game — one that was played at something close to World Cup Qualifier-level intensity. He was very, very good.” WEEK 3

DANGEROUS WINGER After joining the San Jose Earthquakes in 2019, Cristian Espinoza tallied 22 assists over his first two seasons in Major League Soccer, tied for third most in MLS during that span. He is the only player in MLS to rank top-6 in assists in both 2019 (13; 6th) and 2020 (9; 4th), providing unparalleled consistency in attack from the right wing. Espinoza also contributed five goals between 2019 and 2020, while hitting the woodwork a league-high five times from open play.

“Cristian Espinoza has been at the center of everything good for the Quakes today. And I’ve come away with that impression literally every time I’ve watched him play the last 2 years. So, so underrated.”

Alexander Abnos The Athetic November 22, 2020 “Espinoza is elite in terms of his assist numbers. In 2020, he was fourth overall in the league (just one behind the leaders) in regular season assists, with nine. Adding two more in the playoff game, 11 on the season is quite good in a shortened season in MLS. “Espinoza’s profile in 2020 really put him in the elite of playmaker-style attackers, according to FBRef, compared similarly to the likes of Darwin Quintero, Nicolas Lodeiro, Alejandro Pozuelo, and Diego Valeri, among others. That’s elite of the elite!”

CATCH HIM IF YOU CAN Blink and you’ll miss him. Seventeen-year-old Cade Cowell is primed for a breakout season in his third year as a professional. As a 15-year-old in 2019, Cowell did not make an MLS appearance but used the season to mature and work on his game in training. He then made 17 appearances in a shortened 2020 season, including four starts, scoring in his first career start on Aug. 29. The youngster is not only one of the most physically imposing players on the team, but also the fastest. He’s expected to be an important contributor for the Quakes in 2021, whether as a starter or a frightening bolt of lightning off the bench. “I think the world of this kid. I still get to call him a kid, that’s something kind of mind-boggling as well, but you just see the work that he’s putting in. I’ve gotten to train [with him] just a couple times, that’s because I could barely keep up with him. I definitely pride myself on my work ethic, but the amount of work that he put in this offseason, I’m extremely proud of him.”

Chris Wondolowski March 13, 2021 “Cowell’s work ethic drove him to a couple of remarkable feats Aug. 29 in Los Angeles. At 16, he became the youngest player to start a Major League Soccer game for the Earthquakes. And in the game’s 59th minute, he curled a 20-yard blast past Galaxy goalkeeper David Bingham to give his team a brief lead and become the youngest San Jose player to score an MLS goal. “None of this is really the work of a soccer prodigy. To watch Cowell play is to marvel at the chiseled specimen barreling relentlessly up and down the sideline, at times resembling running back more than a midfielder.”

#SJvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City hits the road this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park on Saturday night. It’ll be the first regular-season meeting between the two sides since 2019, though the teams did face off in the opening round of the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs. Since late 2016, Sporting has gone 6-1-1 against San Jose. All-time, Sporting is 27-25-8 against the Earthquakes, and 6-17-7 on the road. Sporting is 2-1-1 in their last four visits to PayPal Park in San Jose, though the defeat came in their most recent visit on April 20, 2019. That season, the two sides split the regular-season series 1-1-0 with both teams claiming victory on their home patch. On April 20, 2019, San Jose cruised to a 4-1 victory at Avaya Stadium. Danny Hoesen scored twice in the first half before Krisztian Nemeth missed a penalty for SKC. In the second half, Shea Salinas and Magnus Eriksson tallied for the hosts before Felipe Gutierrez pulled one back from the spot. Sporting came from behind to pick up three points in the return fixture on Aug. 17, 2019 at Children’s Mercy Park. Chris Wondolowski opened the scoring for San Jose in the first half, but second-half goals from Benny Feilhaber and Graham Smith saw Sporting erase the deficit and secure victory. The two sides last saw one another in an enthralling Western Conference Quarterfinal at Children’s Mercy Park on November 22, 2020, with Sporting winning 3-0 on penalty kicks following a 3-3 stalemate. Roger Espinoza gave the home side an early lead before goals from Carlos Fierro and Shea Salinas turned the game on its head before halftime. Ilie Sanchez equalized immediately after the interval and Sporting thought they’d sntached a dramatic victory when Gianluca Busio made it 3-2 in stoppage time, only for Chris Wondolowski to equalize in the 97th minute. The game went to a shootout with Tim Melia saving all three attempts from Oswaldo Analis, Jackson Yueill and Cristian Espinoza, while Johnny Russell, Ilie Sanchez and Khiry Shelton sunk their attempts. #SJvSKC: Recent Meetings (SKC leads 27-25-8 in regular season)

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

SPORTING’S xG DISCREPANCY

Sporting Kansas City will look to build on last weekend’s 3-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park when the side heads to the west coast this weekend to take on the San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park on Saturday night. Sporting sits in third place in the Western Conference with a 3-2-1 record (10 pts.), narrowly ahead of San Jose who are in a tie for fifth with a 3-3-0 mark (9 pts.).

So far in the 2021 MLS season, Sporting Kansas City has had few issues creating high quality chances, though the side has not scored as many goals as the statistical output would suggest. In fact, Sporting is currently underperforming both its expected goals (xG) and expected goals against (xGA) totals by a combined total of 4.5 goals. With the quality of chances created, Sporting is expected to have scored 12 goals this season but has scored nine, while in terms of the quality of chances allowed, Sporting should have only conceded 5.5 goals but has instead conceded seven.

Sporting’s last three games are in stark contrast to their opening three games of the 2021 MLS season. After manufacturing 23 shots in their first three games of 2021, the club has averaged almost that many in their past three games.

SPORTING KC TO RETURN TO FULL CAPACITY ON MAY 29

In accordance with updated health protocols issued by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, Sporting Kansas City announced last Tuesday that home matches at Children’s Mercy Park will return to full capacity beginning May 29 when the club hosts Houston Dynamo FC.

In addition, with the three goals on Sunday, Sporting has now scored in 18 consecutive regular season home matches since August 2019, the second-longest run in club history and two shy of tying the record.

Upon returning to full capacity, Children’s Mercy Park will continue to adhere to a number of health and safety protocols, including mobile entry, cashless payments, hand sanitization dispensers throughout the stadium and increased cleaning and sanitization before, during and after matches. Mask wearing is strongly encouraged but not required under the Unified Government’s latest guidelines, and CMP will offer a designated seating section where masks will be required for all ticket holders within that area.

HEADING WEST FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME

When Sporting Kansas City takes on the San Jose Earthquakes at PayPal Park on Saturday night, the team will play on the west coast for the first time since Feb. 29, 2020 when the side took on Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BC Place. It’ll be Sporting’s first match on the west coast in the United States since playing the LA Galaxy on Sept. 15, 2019. Sporting has won six of the last eight regular-season meetings with the Earthquakes (6-1-1), including a 2-1-1 mark at PayPal Park.

Sporting’s home match on May 29 will see the club honor frontline healthcare workers by giving 1,000 tickets to local medical professionals. The occasion will serve as the newest initiative from “A Force for Good,” a newly launched campaign in which Sporting and The Victory Project join forces with local partners to serve the community. Additionally, Sporting will join a nationwide effort led by the White House COVID-19 Response Team by offering a 30% discount to vaccinated fans for in-stadium merchandise purchases at a June home match to be determined.

Sporting KC only faced one California-based team in 2020 - home or away - coming against this weekend’s foes the San Jose Earthquakes in the opening round of the MLS Cup Playoffs at Children’s Mercy Park. The two sides played to an enthralling 3-3 draw - including a goal apiece in second-half stoppage time - before Tim Melia saved all three of San Jose’s attempts in the penalty shootout as SKC ran out 3-0 winners in the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK TO HOST USMNT, GOLD CUP

Last week, Concacaf announced that Children’s Mercy Park will host five Group Stage matches in the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup from July 11-18, including all three of the United States Men’s National Team matches in Group B. The stadium will host doubleheaders on July 11 and July 15, before hosting a mouthwatering U.S. vs. Canada matchup on July 18.

The last time Sporting took on San Jose in the regular season was on Aug. 17, 2019, earning a come-from-behind 2-1 victory. Chris Wondolowski opened the scoring with a bullet header in the first half but second-half strikes from Benny Feilhaber and Graham Smith earned Sporting all three points. During their last visit to PayPal Park, Sporting suffered a 4-1 defeat. San Jose’s Danny Hoesen scored twice in the first half before Krisztian Nemeth missed a penalty for SKC. In the second half, Shea Salinas and Magnus Eriksson tallied for the hosts before Felipe Gutierrez pulled one back from the spot.

The Gold Cup is the region’s flagship international tournament, featuring men’s national teams from across North America, Central America and the Caribbean. First contested in 1991 and taking place every two years, the Gold Cup crowns the confederation’s champion and the 16th edition will be played from July 2-Aug. 1 in eight U.S. markets.

PULIDO SHINES vs. WHITECAPS

The Gold Cup returns to Kansas City – a Candidate Host City for the 2026 FIFA World Cup - for a fourth time (2011, 2015, 2019, 2021) since Children’s Mercy Park opened in 2011. After serving as the site of individual doubleheaders in the three previous occasions, Kansas City will host four national teams for more than a week this summer as part of a hub-city format designed to reduce travel.

Sporting Kansas City striker Alan Pulido showed all of his class in last weekend’s 3-0 thumping of Vancouver Whitecaps FC at Children’s Mercy Park, finding the back of the net twice to reach 10 goals in all competitions for Sporting KC since joining the club ahead of the 2020 campaign. The Mexican international made the score 2-0 with a first-half penalty kick, marking the first time Sporting has scored multiple first-half goals since March 7, 2020, then doubled his tally in impressive fashion after in the 58th minute. Those goals showed what many have already known, that Pulido is one of the league’s most productive attackers. Among players with 750 minutes played since the start of 2020, Pulido has the highest goals and primary assists per 90 minutes rate in MLS.

POSTGAME PV

On the team’s 3-0 win over Vancouver: “It was a complete game by us. From the opening whistle, we were excellent in our movement of the ball. We were excellent in our movement off the ball. We created some very good chances. For us to score two goals before the half, I think that says a lot. By the time you go in for halftime, you can sort of get your wits about you. They made a change late in the first half with a sub about the 35th minute to change their formation. We made a couple adjustments. The guys were very good on both sides of the ball.”

Following last weekend’s offensive barrage against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Sporting now leads the league with 11.93 expected goals, narrowly ahead of this weekend’s opponents the San Jose Earthquakes (11.33).

Sporting KC finished the game against Vancouver with 91.6% passing accuracy, the second-highest in club history since Opta began tracking the stat in 2010 and the fourthhighest in MLS history against an opponent that received no red cards in the match.

On the second half adjustments: “They moved to a 4-3-3. In the beginning, they were playing a 4-4-2. It was a formation change that we had to make sure that we sorted out for ourselves and that we were all on the same page with it. The other thing is, I think that also the speed in which we moved the ball around was a real key factor in the game today.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 22, 2021 at San Jose Earthquakes | 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 193 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 158 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 447 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.
