HEAD COACH GIOVANNI SAVARESE Entering his first season with the club after being named head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese, the third head coach in Portland’s MLS history, brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization.

A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the past five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 6526-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch.

Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas.

Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012.

Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996.

After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club.

The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel.

Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterward, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders.

In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes.

Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

VS.

Timbers form With the 2-0 result, the Timbers are unbeaten in their last eight games across all competitions, dating back to April 14. During that stretch, Portland has recorded seven wins, one draw and four clean-sheet victories.

Timbers firsts With Portland signing four T2 players to short-term agreements ahead of Wednesday’s match, seven players made their first-team debuts for the Timbers, including McIntosh, defender Modou Jadama, midfielders Marvin Loría, Darixon Vuelto, Eryk Williamson and Renzo Zambrano and forward Foster Langsdorf.

The striker managed to find the back of the net after forcing a turnover deep inside the Earthquakes’ half, before bringing the ball back onto his left foot to curl a powerful, well-placed effort into the far top corner.

Continuing to attack in the second half, the Timbers doubled their lead when Asprilla added his name to the scoresheet in the 66th minute on a counter-attacking play, with midfielder Diego Chara finding Asprilla with a well-placed pass inside the area. Taking a touch forward, Asprilla carefully slotted his chance into the back of the net.

Shortly after entering the game, Langsdorf created another chance for Portland, with the striker getting on the end of Asprilla’s cross, flashing his header wide of the target in the 68th minute.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese On how he felt about the team’s performance…

“I was very pleased with the performance all around from everyone who stepped on the field and they got the job done. We knew it was going to be a tough game. They had a lot of starters. They had a lot of players, important players, and we knew we had to battle. I was very pleased not only because we were able to score the two goals and win the match, but we showed some maturity with a lot of the young guys and we kept the ball, we knew when to move it, when to go forward and all around I thought it was a great performance by the guys. I’m very proud of the way they played today.”

Portland Timbers midfielder Lawrence Olum On the team being able to adjust the lineup and get the job done…

“It shows that everybody has been preparing well. We have quite the depth that anyone can step in and give a good performance.”

On the team’s approach to the US Open Cup… “[The cup] is serious because if we do well, it’s a birth to Concacaf. It’s a way to get into that competition so as a club, the players take it serious.”

Portland Timbers forward Jeremy Ebobisse On his thoughts during the opening goal…

“I knew [their midfielder] was going to turn out. I was lucky to get that first touch toward goal. From there, I saw Marvin [Loria] making a good run in the box so my first thought was to feed him. I didn’t trust my right foot in that instance, so I cut it back and luckily had some time and took a good goal.”

Portland Timbers goalkeeper Kendall McIntosh On the opportunity to feature for the first team…

“It will always give you confidence. Playing well in front of these fans is wonderful, an amazing feeling. It makes you hungry and want to keep doing it. I have to keep plugging away, supporting Jeff [Antinella] and Jake [Gleeson] and keep grinding away.”

PORTLAND TIMBERS VS SPORTING KANSAS CITY SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 2018 SCOUTING SPORTING KANSAS CITY

UPCOMING MILESTONES

Sporting Kansas City enters Saturday’s match after defeating Real Salt Lake 2-0 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday. Venturing into the match, Sporting Kansas City is unbeaten in its last five league games, dating back to April 28. Most recently, Sporting Kansas City is coming off a 4-1 home win over Minnesota United FC on June 3. While playing on the road, Sporting Kansas City has produced a 3-1-2 record so far this season, with its last match on the road resulting in a 1-1 draw against Minnesota on May 20. Forward Johnny Russell and midfielder Felipe Gutierrez rank tied for the most goals on the team (5).

With a win or a draw in Saturday’s match, the Timbers, who are currently riding a seven-game unbeaten streak in MLS play, would extend their unbeaten run to eight games in league play since April 14. Portland’s longest unbeaten run took place during the 2013 campaign, with that team compiling a 15-game unbeaten streak (March 16-June 23, 2013).

HEADS UP Through their first 12 games in league play, the Timbers have recorded the second-most headed goals (6) in MLS, with Samuel Armenteros scoring the team’s sixth header on May 26. MIdfielder Sebastián Blanco ranks tied with five players for the second-most headed goals (2) in the league through the first 14 weeks to start the new campaign.

RECENT FORM Heading into Saturday’s match, the Timbers are coming off a strong 2-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes in the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. With the result, the Timbers are unbeaten in their last eight games across all competitions, recording seven wins and one draw since April 14.

With his next three starts, defender Alvas Powell will record 100 starts in MLS play.

With his next five appearances, midfielder Sebastián Blanco will tally 50 games played in MLS.

12-GAME MARK With a 1-1 draw against the Galaxy, the Timbers recorded their seventh consecutive match without a loss in league play. With the result, the Timbers also notched their 21st point through 12 games played after extending their 2018 record to 6-3-3. The Timbers’ 20-point production this season is the highest point total for a Timbers side through the first 12 games to start a season in MLS. Only the 2017 Timbers team were able to produce nearly as many points through the first 12 games, with that team accumulating 18 points through the opening portion of the season.

UNBEATEN TEAMS SEBA CHUCKY BLANCO In Portland’s last four matches, midfielder Sebastián Blanco has recorded one goal and two assists, setting up goals for forward Samuel Armenteros and midfielder Diego Valeri in the team’s 3-2 win over the Colorado Rapids on May 26.

Overall, Blanco has directly influenced 11 of the Timbers’ 20 goals. In addition to his five goals and three assists, Blanco earned a penalty and a free kick against Orlando City SC, both of which led to goals, and also forced Tim Howard to make a tough save, which led to Armenteros’ second goal of the game on May 26.

SCORING AT HOME Since the start of the 2016 season, the Timbers have been one of the most prolific home teams in the league, with 83 goals scored at Providence Park.

Portland’s 83 goals since 2016 rank tied as the third-most in the league, behind only New York City FC (86) and Toronto FC (84), despite playing one fewer home games than New York City FC and two fewer home games than Toronto FC. Portland has also scored in 18 straight home games, dating back to the 2017 campaign.

HOME FORM Despite playing their first five games of the 2018 campaign away from home, the Timbers still maintain one of the strongest home records since the start of the 2016 campaign. During that stretch, Portland has recorded 28 wins (28-5-6) at home, which ranks tied as the most in the league, despite playing fewer games than MLS teams ranked in the top five for home wins during that span.

TIMBERS INJURY REPORT QUESTIONABLE: Alvas Powell (left thigh), Liam Ridgewell (right thigh), Jake Gleeson (back), Kendall McIntosh (left thigh) OUT: Roy Miller (left achilles tendon) * As of June 7, 2018

With Sporting Kansas City unbeaten in its last five league matches, and with the Timbers riding a seven-game undefeated streak in MLS play, Saturday’s match marks the first time in MLS 2018 that two teams with unbeaten streaks of five games or more will face each other.

BETWEEN THE PIPES Goalkeeper Jeff Attinella’s shutout streak came to an end in the Timbers 2-1 win over LAFC on May 19. Prior to LAFC’s second-half goal, Attinella was riding a 404-minute clean-sheet streak, which is the longest by a Timbers goalkeeper in MLS play.

CLEAN-SHEET VICTORIES Prior to the team’s 2-1 win over LAFC, the Timbers recorded three consecutive shutout victories for the first time in their MLS era and the first time across all eras in club history (since 1975) since a four-game shutout streak in the 2007 campaign (June 28-July 13, 2007). Dating back to the start of the 2015 MLS campaign, the Timbers are tied for the sixth-most clean-sheets in MLS, with 32 shutouts during that stretch.

WORLD CUP BOUND Midfielder David Guzmán was named to Costa Rica’s 23-man roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, set to be held in Russia this summer beginning on June 14. Additionally, midfielder Andy Polo was named to Peru’s 23-man roster for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

REIGNING MVP Midfielder Diego Valeri enters the 2018 MLS season as the reigning Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player, after becoming the first Timbers player to receive MLS MVP honors following a record-setting 2017 campaign. Valeri’s record-setting season was highlighted by a team-high 21 goals, a career-high for the midfielder, and a team-high 11 assists, marking the fourth time the midfielder has hit double digits in goals and assists in his five seasons in MLS.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 9, 2018 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #PORvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#PORvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is back on the road this weekend for the first of two matches against the Portland Timbers in the 2018 MLS season. The return fixture takes place at Children’s Mercy Park on August 18. Saturday’s match against the Timbers comes in the midst of a brutal stretch for Sporting, as the club is playing four of six games on the road - including Wednesday night’s U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round victory over Real Salt Lake.

Sporting KC is 6-3-3 all-time against the Timbers in the regular season, and have lost just one of their last eight matches against the Oregon-based side. In 2017, Sporting KC took the season series 1-0-1 - with the win coming on the road. Dom Dwyer’s header from Jimmy Medranda’s cross early in the second half proved to be the difference the last time SKC visited Providence Park, with Peter Vermes’ men returning to Kansas City with a 1-0 victory.

Portland looked to hit back in the next match at Children’s Mercy Park on July 1, 2017, and took the lead in that match through Diego Valeri’s rasping strike in the first half. Early in the second period, Daniel Salloi took down Roger Espinoza’s chipped pass and converted high into the net for his first MLS goal. Tim Melia was called upon to save his side late on as he stonewalled Valeri’s penalty kick as the two sides shared the points in a 1-1 draw.

The series has been relatively one-sided in terms of which team plays at home, as Portland has hosted Sporting KC two more times than vice versa. In fact, just two of the last six regular-season meetings has taken place at Children’s Mercy Park, where Sporting KC are 2-1-2 against the Timbers.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 9, 2018 at Portland Timbers | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

UNBEATEN STREAK ROLLS INTO PORTLAND

FC DALLAS UP NEXT IN U.S. OPEN CUP

Sporting KC is currently riding a five-game unbeaten streak in MLS play (3-0-2), and a six-game unbeaten streak in all competitions (4-0-2) since the club’s last defeat on April 28 at the hands of the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium. Sporting KC has lost just twice all season, and only once in their last 13 games since the season opener against New York City FC on March 4. Sporting KC’s two losses are the second fewest in the league, second to only FC Dallas who has only lost one game, but sits two points back of Sporting in the Western Conference with a 7-1-5 record (26 points).

Sporting KC ran out a 5-4-1 formation with a diamond midfield on Wednesday night - a system that has not been used by Peter Vermes this season. Academy products Gianluca Busio (16), Jaylin Lindsey (18) and Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (19) all earned their first starts for the club, as did Swope Park Rangers graduates Adrian Zendejas and Kharlton Belmar.

Following Wednesday night’s 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round, Sporting KC will continue their defense of the title with a home match against FC Dallas in the Fifth Round - taking place at Children’s Mercy Park on June 16, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. CT.

Sporting Kansas City returns to MLS action this weekend when the side heads to Portland, Oregon to face the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on Saturday night at 9:30 p.m. CT. It’s the first of two meetings between the two sides in 2018, with the return fixture taking place at Children’s Mercy Park on August 18.

The defense held firm, recording a shutout on Zendejas’ debut, while up front Johnny Russell and Kharlton Belmar combined for both goals, with Belmar first setting up Russell to head home in the 47th mintue before Russell returned the favor in the 74th.

Sporting KC is riding their second unbeaten streak of the season, having gone seven games unbeaten (5-0-2) between March 10 and April 20 and now five games unbeaten (3-0-2) from May 5 to present day in MLS play. Sporting has responded to both losses this season with wins, as the side followed up the 2-0 loss to New York City FC on opening night with a 4-3 victory over the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park before beating the Colorado Rapids 1-0 on May 5 after the loss to New England on April 28.

KUZAIN BECOMES SKC’S SECOND YOUNGEST GOALSCORER

Last Sunday night, Sporting Kansas City Homegrown midfielder Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal became the second youngest goalscorer in club history when he lashed home the gamewinning goal in the 35th minute of the eventual 4-1 victory over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park.

Sporting KC and Portland will face off for the 13th team in MLS action this Saturday, with Peter Vermes’ side holding a 6-3-3 lead in the all-time series. Sporting KC took the season series in 2017, going 1-0-1 following a 1-0 win at Providence Park on April 15, 2017 and a 1-1 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on July 1, 2017.

The goal came during Kuzain’s second appearance for the club, having made his Sporting KC debut as a late substitute in the 0-0 draw with Columbus Crew SC the previous Sunday, May 27. This time, the 19-year-old got extended minutes after replacing the injured Yohan Croizet in the 18th minute of the match. In addition to his goal, Kuzain completed 32 of his 33 passes in 72 minutes of action, mirroring his USLleading 90.4-percent passing accuracy clip for the Swope Park Rangers in 2017.

FORM TEAMS SET TO BATTLE AT PROVIDENCE PARK

Sporting Kansas City is looking to make it three wins in a week when the side heads to Oregon to take on the Portland Timbers this Saturday at Providence Park. Sporting is coming off back-to-back wins earlier this month, beating Minnesota United FC in MLS action on last Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park before dispatching Real Salt Lake in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round on Wednesday night at Rio Tinto Stadium.

The only player to score an MLS goal for the club at a younger age than Kuzain’s 19 years and 262 days was former striker Soony Saad, who scored on his 19th birthday in a 3-1 win over the Portland Timbers on August 17, 2011 during his first stint with the club.

ESPINOZA SETS NEW CAREER-HIGH IN ASSISTS

Sporting KC holds a 6-3-3 lead over the Portland Timbers in the all-time series since the Oregonians joined MLS as an expansion side in 2011. That record includes a 4-2-1 mark at Providence Park, which Sporting added to in their only visit during the 2017 regular season. In last season’s clash on April 15, Dom Dwyer’s header off Jimmy Medranda’s pin-point cross early in the second period proved to be the difference as Tim Melia and the backline held firm to claim all three points.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza set a new career-high in assists during last Sunday’s comfortable 4-1 victory over Minnesota United FC at Children’s Mercy Park. Espinoza set up Cristian Lobato’s goal which made it 3-1 late in the first half with a well-weighted through ball, allowing him to record his team-leading sixth assist of the season. Espinoza now has more assists than ever before in a single MLS season, and has accomplished that feat in just 14 matches.

The most recent match between the two sides took place at Children’s Mercy Park on July 1, 2017. In that match, eventual MLS Most Valuable Player, Diego Valeri, scored a scorcher from distance to open the scoring in the first half, before Daniel Salloi stroked home his first-ever MLS goal for Sporting KC in the second half after taking down Roger Espinoza’s sumptuous chipped pass over the Timbers backline. Tim Melia would end up stealing the headlines as he denied Valeri a late winner from the penalty spot.

The Honduran international’s previous high in assists came in 2016 when he recorded five assists 30 appearances. Espinoza has started the 2018 campaign on fire having set up goals against the Chicago Fire (March 10), the San Jose Earthquakes (March 17), the LA Galaxy (April 8), two against Vancouver Whitecaps FC (April 20) before adding his sixth in Sunday’s win over Minnesota.

Espinoza is in the midst of his ninth season with Sporting KC, having been selected by the then Kansas City Wizards in the first round of the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. Espinoza has made 234 appearances for Sporting Kansas City, tallying five goals and 29 assists.

The biggest match Sporting KC has played against Portland ended in heartbreak. In the 2015 MLS Cup Playoffs Knockout Round, Sporting and Portland headed to penalty kicks following a 2-2 draw after extra time at Providence Park. The shootout would last 11 rounds, with the goalkeepers eventually called upon to take penalty kicks. Sporting KC’s Homegrown gloveman, Jon Kempin - who was only on the field following an injury to Tim Melia - saw his final spot kick saved as the Timbers advanced 7-6.

GOALS GALORE

Sporting Kansas City has had no issues scoring goals so far in the 2018 MLS season.

Peter Vermes’ side has found multiple goals in 10 of the club’s 15 matches in all competitions this season and has only been shutout three times. Sporting KC is the third highest scoring team in MLS so far in 2018 with 28 goals, only trailing Atlanta United FC and New York City FC.

BUSIO BECOMES YOUNGEST EVER SKC PLAYER

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio made history during Wednesday night’s U.S. Open Cup victory over Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium, becoming the youngest player to ever play in a competitive game for the club. At the age of just 16 years and nine days, Busio overtook the previous record holder - former Homegrown defender Erik Palmer-Brown, who made his competitive debut for Sporting KC at the age of 17 years and 24 days on May 18, 2014.

Sporting KC has 11 different goalscorers so far this year in MLS play - which is the most number of different goalscorers across a single squad in the league this season. So far this season, Sporting KC has found goals from Felipe Gutierrez (5), Johnny Russell (5), Daniel Salloi (4), Ilie Sanchez (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Diego Rubio (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Yohan Croizet (1), Gerso Fernandes (1), Khiry Shelton (1) and Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1).

Busio went the full 90 minutes in the match as second-half goals from Johnny Russell and Kharlton Belmar made the difference for SKC as Peter Vermes recorded the 19th U.S. Open Cup victory of his managerial career, sending Sporting through to a Fifth Round clash with FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park on June 16.

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC has 21 goals through 10 regular-season matches this year, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

In addition to Busio’s inclusion, Vermes also awarded first-ever starts to another pair of Homegrown players: 18-year-old Jaylin Lindsey and 19-year-old Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal in central midfield. The occasion marked the second time that three Homegrown players have started for the club, with the only other time coming on Sept. 27, 2015 when Jon Kempin, Kevin Ellis and Palmer-Brown started.

Sporting KC found it difficult to score on the road last season, only scoring 10 times in the club’s 17 away games in 2017 and only winning twice on the road. In just six road games this year, Sporting KC has already surpassed last year’s total in goals with 11 and has already recorded three road wins over the Chicago Fire (March 10), the LA Galaxy (April 8) and Atlanta United FC (May 9). Sporting also only scored multiple goals on the road two times in 2017 but has done so in four of the club’s six away games so far in 2018.

When another Homegrown player, Daniel Salloi, appeared off the bench in the second half, it marked the first time ever that Sporting KC has fielded four Homegrown players on the field at the same time in a competitive match.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS COMING TO CMP

Sporting Kansas City announced on Tuesday, May 1 that midfielder Felipe Gutierrez underwent successful surgery on a sports hernia. From the time of the surgery, the Chilean is expected to miss the ensuing two to three months while rehabilitating from the injury and returning to full training.

On Wednesday, May 16, it was announced that Children’s Mercy Park will host international tournaments over the next two summers. In July of 2018, the U.S. Women’s National Team will return to Kansas City to face off against Japan in the Tournament of Nations, with Brazil also facing Australia as part of a doubleheader on July 26. Then, next summer, the CONCACAF Gold Cup comes back to KC for the first time since 2015 for a doubleheader in 2019. The teams and schedules for that tournament will be announced at a later date.

Gutierrez was named MLS Player of the Month for March after scoring five goals in five games, including game-winning strikes over the Chicago Fire and San Jose Earthquakes on March 10 and 17, respectively. On a grander scale, Gutierrez is the second player in club history to score five goals in the first five games of an MLS regular season, joining Miklos Molnar who accomplished the feat in 2000 to help Kansas City capture the MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield.

The U.S. WNT has played in Kansas City seven times since its inaugural visit in 1999, winning four and drawing three. Children’s Mercy Park will play host to its fourth U.S WNT contest, having welcomed crowds for a 1-1 friendly draw against Canada in 2011, a 1-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the 2014 CONCACAF Women’s Championship, and a 4-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica in 2016. The U.S. Women’s and Men’s National Teams are 10-0-4 in 14 combined visits to Kansas City, including a 6-0-2 mark at world-class Children’s Mercy Park.

In addition, Gutierrez is the fourth player in club history to score in four consecutive regular season appearances. The other three are Sporting Legend Preki, former U.S. international Eddie Johnson and Dom Dwyer.

The world-class home of Sporting Kansas City is one of 15 venues across 13 U.S. cities that will welcome the 2019 edition of the expanded CONCACAF Gold Cup, which will feature a record 16 nations next summer from June 14-July 7. The biennial tournament is the premier international competition of the North, Central American and Caribbean region, helping determine Concacaf’s representative at the 2021 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Gutierrez, 27, joined Sporting KC in February after leaving Spanish side Real Betis.

He had spent the latter half of 2017 playing with Internacional in Brazil on loan from Betis, while he’s also played for Universidad Catolica in his native Chile before moving to FC Twente in the Netherlands where he was named the Most Valuable Player of the Eredivisie in 2013-14.

VERMES ERA CONTINUES

LOOKING TO EXTEND PLAYOFF STREAK

Now in the midst of his 10th season at the helm of Sporting Kansas City, manager Peter Vermes is looking to guide his side to yet another postseason appearance and remain firmly in the hunt for silverware in 2018.

Sporting KC is looking to continue it’s impressive streak of postseason appearances after becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.

Vermes is now the longest tenured coach that is actively coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been running the show at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when former LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the U.S. National Team coaching gig in November 2016, having been in charge of the Galaxy since 2008.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 9 (2009-2017) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) New York Red Bulls 8 (2010-2017) *active NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014) Sporting KC 7 (2011-2017) *active

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 the legendary Sigi Schmid, who is currently at the helm of the LA Galaxy.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS BY A COACH WITH THE SAME TEAM Coach Club Years Seasons Bruce Arena LA Galaxy 8 2009-2016 Steve Nicol NE Revolution 8 2002-2009 Peter Vermes Sporting KC 7 2011-2017 (active) Sigi Scmid Seattle Sounders 7 2009-2015

LA Galaxy 6 1999-2004 Jason Kreis Real Salt Lake 6 2008-2013

On a local level, Vermes’ 10 years with Sporting KC 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 served as Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

Vermes has compiled a 153-108-88 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 19-5-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 123 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks third among all coaches in MLS history, trailing the Galaxy’s Schmid and Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley, and two ahead of Orlando City SC head coach Jason Kreis.

VERMES VERBATIM

See below for Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes’ comments following the 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake in the U.S. Open Cup at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 6, 2018:

BESLER & ZUSI ON CUSP OF HISTORY

Sporting Kansas City defenders Matt Besler and Graham Zusi are set to match several records as they play their 10th straight season with the club.

On the introduction of three teenagers into the starting lineup: “It is very good to see the young guys come in and play the way that they played. Those kids are going to get a lot of chances. Every chance is hopefully going to be a step.

The players made really good steps in the game. They were positive ones so I’m happy about that.”

By playing in their 10th season with Sporting KC, Besler and Zusi match legendary midfielder Davy Arnaud for most seasons in club history. On a wider scale, only two other pro athletes have longer tenures in Kansas City: Kansas City Royals (MLB) outfielder Alex Gordon and Kansas City Chiefs (NFL) linebacker Tamba Hali.

On the combination play between Kharlton Belmar and Johnny Russell: “I thought that from (Kharlton) Belmar’s perspective, his movement off the ball was really, really good. He put a lot of pressure on the two central defenders. He put them under a lot of pressure because of his movement. He’s a powerful dude. He’s athletic. He’s strong. But at the same time, I think he’s got good soccer instincts on the field.”

Besler is set to reach some all-time milestones in 2018 as well. With his next appearance in MLS regular-season play, Besler will become Sporting KC’s all-time appearance leader, overtaking Arnaud who currently sits on 240 appearances in MLS action. In addition, Besler has already overtaken current assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin in games started with 234 and claimed the all-time lead in minutes played during the April 20, 2018 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

On the 5-4-1 formation: “We just felt that for us going into another game this weekend, it was going to give us the best way to utilize the players that we were thinking about playing in this game and that it would give us the best chance to get the result while at the same time, not have to use all of our guys for 90 minutes ahead of the weekend. That was important to us.”

Zusi, who is second among all active MLS players in assists, shot up to a tie with Jaime Moreno for eighth most game-winning assists in MLS history when he recorded his 26th in the 6-0 win over Vancouver on April 20, 2018. Additionally, Zusi’s next game winning goal will break tie with Digital Takawira for seventh most in team history.

On managing the match at the end: “I think we did what I think we’re very good at and that is possession. We can knock the ball around and we can play. That gave us a lot of opportunity to be on the ball. We found the holes in between the lines really, really well.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 9, 2018 at Portland Timbers | 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 10th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 153 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. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to seven 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 123 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank sixth 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 has coached 349 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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 the 2018 campaign. 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.

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

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.

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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

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

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.

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.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

Vermes 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

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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his second 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.

A former MLS player, Dufty began his playing career with the New York Red Bulls in 2009, going on to make 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.

His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

Zendajas joined the Rangers in June 2016 and debuted in a 2-1 win over LA Galaxy II on Aug. 27 before starting five of the team’s final seven regular season matches, amassing a perfect 5-0-0 record with three shutouts, 13 saves and a 0.40 goals against average.

Zendejas carried his great form into the postseason, earning two more clean sheets in four games.

He spent the 2017 season primarily on loan with the Swope Park Rangers, making 25 starts for the club and posting a 0.92 goals against average with 10 shutouts. Zendejas was one of the top goalkeepers in the USL, cementing his pedigree by saving four penalties and scoring the game-winning spot kick in the shootout of the Western Conference Final against OKC Energy FC in November 2017.

The Chula Vista, California native joined Club Tijuana in 2014 and made his debut for the Under-20 team in February 2015. He made 31 appearances for the U-20 team before making his first-team debut in a preseason friendly against Club Leon on July 3, 2015 and played all four preseason games for the Xolos in July 2015.
