Sporting Kansas City will begin their 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign against fellow MLS club Minnesota United FC, visiting their regional rival in the tournament’s Fourth Round at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the new Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Sporting owns four Open Cup titles in team history, tied with the Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders FC for the most among MLS clubs. Manager Peter Vermes has guided the side to three Open Cup championships over the last seven seasons, hoisting the trophy in 2012, 2015 and 2017 to go with the club’s first title in 2004.

Minnesota, meanwhile, have yet to advance past the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 during their time as an MLS club.

The 2019 U.S. Open Cup winner will claim $300,000 in prize money, a berth in the 2020 Concacaf Champions League and have its name engraved on the Dewar Challenge Trophy, one of the oldest trophies in American team sports and now on display at the National Soccer Hall of Fame in Frisco, Texas. The runner-up will earn $100,000, while the club that advances the furthest from each lower division below Major League Soccer will secure $25,000.

Champions

The U.S. Open Cup has crowned a champion annually since 1914, making it the oldest ongoing soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest continuously running soccer tournament. In 1999, the competition was renamed to honor American soccer pioneer Lamar Hunt, who owned Kansas City’s MLS club from its founding until 2006.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

GEDION GETS THE CALL

Sporting KC will begin their 2019 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup campaign against fellow MLS club Minnesota United FC, visiting their regional rival in the tournament’s Fourth Round at 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the new Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gedion Zelalem has been named to the United States Under-23 Men’s National Team roster for a training camp in Herriman, Utah, that began Sunday and will continue through June 16, U.S. Soccer announced on Sunday.

U.S. Soccer on May 30 announced all Fourth Round matchups for the 2019 U.S. Open Cup, which will see 21 MLS clubs enter the competition in the round of 32. They are joined by 10 teams from the second-division USL Championship and Orange County FC of the fourth-division National Premier Soccer League.

Zelalem, who signed with Sporting in March after a six-year stint with Arsenal FC of the English Premier League, returns to the United States youth national team system for the first time since suffering an injury in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup and will be part of the U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team for the first time since 2015.

Sporting and Minnesota will meet in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round for the fourth time in six years. Manager Peter Vermes’ side prevailed on each of the previous three occasions, cruising on home turf in 2014 and 2017 and claiming an extra-time win at Minnesota in 2016.

Born in Berlin, Zelalem represented Germany at the under-15 through under-17 levels until acquiring U.S. citizenship in 2014. Zelalem has since represented the United States at the 2015 and 2017 editions of the FIFA U-20 World Cup. He debuted with the U.S. Under-23 Men’s National Team at age 18 and featured at the 2015 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Championship.

The trip to Minnesota marks another destination for Sporting during a travel-heavy month of June, which will see the club play four MLS matches away from home before returning to Children’s Mercy Park on July 3 to host LAFC.

In March, Zelalem signed with Sporting Kansas City and has played in three MLS matches for Sporting so far this season in addition to three USL Championship appearances for the Swope Park Rangers.

TWOS IN TORONTO

Sporting Kansas City (3-5-7, 16 points) continued the club’s strong form against Toronto FC (5-6-4, 19 points) last Friday, June 7, with a 2-2 draw at BMO Field. Felipe Gutierrez twice converted penalties, once in the 25th minute and again in the 73rd minute, as Sporting stretched the team’s unbeaten run to 10 games (6-0-4) against Toronto and secured an eighth straight road result (4-0-4) at BMO Field.

The United States Under-23 Men’s National Team, led by head coach Jason Kreis, has convened in preparation for the Concacaf Olympic Qualifying Championship, which will send two countries from the Concacaf region to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.

Felipe Gutierrez bagged two penalties, both of which were awarded by referee Fotis Bazakos after video reviews, but a 43rd-minute tally from Nick DeLeon and a 95thminute equalizer from Jordan Hamilton denied Sporting their first road win of the season.

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

Despite elimination from the Concacaf Champions League in early April, Sporting KC will still aim to win another slew of trophies in 2019.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

INTERNATIONALS IN ACTION

Three Sporting Kansas City players appeared in UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers on Saturday as Botond Barath, Nicolas Hasler and Krisztian Nemeth all earned caps for their respective national teams.

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

Barath and Nemeth helped Hungary to a 3-1 road win over Azerbaijan at Bakcell Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan, to move the Magyars atop Group E after their third of eight match days in the qualification cycle. Barath played the full 90 minutes in central defense and picked up an assist in the 53rd minute during his fifth career cap, while Nemeth came off the bench in the 86th minute for his 36th international appearance.

With almost 10 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 fifth longest active run.

Hasler, making his 60th career appearance for Liechtenstein, started in a 3-0 road loss against Armenia at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium in Yerevan, playing the full 90 minutes on the right side of midfield in a 4-4-2 formation. The defeat leaves Liechtenstein at the bottom of Group J.

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

Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell was an unused substitute for Scotland, who prevailed 2-1 over Cyprus on Saturday at Hampden Park in Glasgow in Steve Clarke’s first match as manager. The victory lifts Scotland into a share of second place in Group I. Barath, Nemeth, Hasler and Russell are unavailable for Wednesday’s Open Cup clash due to national team obligations, with Hungary, Liechtenstein and Scotland all playing UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying matches on Tuesday.

Vermes has compiled a 171-124-101 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 136 wins in MLS regular-season action rank fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles Football Club’s Bob Bradley.

ILIE THE IRONMAN

Since the start of the 2017 season, Sporting Kansas City has played 102 games in all competitions, and midfielder Ilie Sanchez has appeared in 101 of them - starting a remarkable 99. He reached the century mark in a 1-1 draw with Houston on June 1.

Ilie’s 101 games consist of 82 regular season contests, eight U.S. Open Cup fixtures, six Concacaf Champions League battles and five games in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

During his three-year stint in Kansas City, Ilie has been on the field for an incredible 97.6 percent of Sporting’s minutes and played the entire game 97 times. He has logged 9,036 minutes of a possible 9,270 in all competitions, underscoring his indispensability to the squad as the all-important holding midfielder.

In total, Ilie has missed just 234 minutes of action for Sporting over the last three seasons. The lone game he didn’t play was a 1-0 loss at Seattle Sounders FC on Aug. 12, 2017, which came three days after he went 120 minutes in Sporting’s epic U.S. Open Cup semifinal defeat of the San Jose Earthquakes. Since missing the Seattle match 21 months ago, Ilie has appeared in a remarkable 74 straight games across all competitions.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES VERMES VERBATIM

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

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-2 draw with Toronto FC last Friday, June 7, at BMO Field.

Thoughts on the match…

It’s very frustrating. We gave up two goals - (one) toward the end of the first half and (one) at the end of the second half. The team worked their tails off for the most part, but a few guys were sleeping in the game. Unfortunately, it has an impact. In the last two games, we should have six points. We don’t. That’s very frustrating, (especially) for the guys who put so much into the game.

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

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

On settling for a draw…

The game plan was good. We got our actions. Both penalties I thought were deserving.

We played the way we wanted to play. That’s two weeks in a row and unfortunately, we come away with one point (again), which is the sad thing.

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

On the return of Gerso Fernandes…

He was fantastic. He was dynamic all over the field. For him to be able to play as long as he did in the game, it’s a testament to that kid. He has definitely come a long way. It’s amazing. I give him all the credit in the world. He put everything out on the field today.

On what Sporting expected after taking the 2-1 lead…

It’s the same thing you always expect when you play away from home. At that point, we’re up. They’re going to throw everything forward. And that’s what they did. In throwing everything forward, you have to be able to defend. They still had a lot of players behind the ball. For that second goal, we had more than enough guys back to deal with it. And we didn’t, unfortunately. At the end, that’s the difference in the game because if that goal doesn’t go in, we win. We didn’t do a good job of closing out the game.

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

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow. Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid. The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid. Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

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

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 12, 2019 at Minnesota United FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 171 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 136 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 396 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 almost 10 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 fifth 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, the Swope Park Rangers (USL Championship) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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

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 seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Year

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.
