Sporting KC Game Notes | July 21, 2021 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvSJ: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvSJ: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns to action for the first time in 17 days when the team plays host to the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Sporting has won three on the bounce and currently sit second in the Western Conference, while San Jose are winless in eight and have slumped down into a tie for 11th in the West.

Since late 2016, Sporting has gone 7-1-1 against San Jose. All-time, Sporting is 2825-8 against the Earthquakes, including a 21-8-1 mark at home. Sporting has won four straight against San Jose at home in the regular season, and also emerged victorious on penalty kicks in the 2020 MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Quarterfinals.

In the only earlier meeting this season between the two sides on May 22 at PayPal Park, Sporting came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory. Eduardo “Chofis” Lopez opened the scoring early on for the hosts before Sporting roared back with goals from Jaylin Lindsey, Alan Pulido and Daniel Salloi to take all three points.

In 2020, Sporting only faced San Jose in the Western Conference Quarterfinal at Children’s Mercy Park on November 22, 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 San Jose.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 21, 2021 vs. San Jose Earthquakes | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

LOOKING TO EXTEND THREE-GAME WINNING STREAK

RUSSELL & SHELTON LEAD SKC TO THREE POINTS IN LA

Sporting will look to extend their three-game winning streak against San Jose, along with their 10-game home unbeaten streak (8-0-2) dating back to October 2020. Sporting are 5-0-2 at home in 2021.

After absorbing heavy pressure for much of the match, Russell headed home his first goal of the season in the 81st minute before Shelton opened his 2021 account with a cool run and finish after rounding the LA goalkeeper deep into second-half stoppage time.

Last time out, Sporting emerged victorious in a challenging matchup on the road against the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park on July 4. After absorbing heavy pressure in the first half, Sporting snatched all three points with late goals from Johnny Russell and Khiry Shelton who each scored their first goals of the campaign.

It was the perfect time for each player to break their ducks for the 2021 campaign, with Russell bagging his first goal since hosting Orlando on Sept. 23, 2020 and Shelton netting for the first time since the 2020 regular-season finale at Real Salt Lake on Nov. 8, 2020.

The win against the Galaxy means that no team has more than Sporting’s eight wins on the road since the start of the 2020 season.

The proof is in the numbers for Shelton, as Sporting consistently achieves better results with the 28-year-old on the field.

MELIA PRODUCES HEROICS ON THE ROAD

Sporting Kansas City goalkeeper Tim Melia was in terrific form to help his side claim a 2-0 victory against the LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park in the team’s last match on July 4. Melia made seven saves on the night - a season high - on his way to posting his second shutout of the season. The 35-year-old was recognized with a spot on the MLS Team of the Week.

THIRD CALIFORNIA FOE IN SUCCESSION

Sporting Kansas City is set to take on their third California opposition in a row when the team hosts the San Jose Earthquakes at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night.

Sporting’s last two games has seen the side claim 2-1 and 2-0 wins over Los Angeles FC and the LA Galaxy, respectively, and will now look to claim the season series against San Jose having already picked up three points at PayPal Park earlier this season.

Melia’s performance in the victory over the Galaxy was the eighth time since the dawn of the MLS Opta era in 2010 that a goalkeeper has made seven saves in a shutout road victory against an opponent with a winning record. Three of those instances have seen Melia shine as the star of the show, as he previously accomplished the feat against the Galaxy and Atlanta United FC in 2018.

Sporting visited PayPal Park in San Jose on May 22, 2021 and overturned an early deficit to earn a 3-1 victory. After Eduardo “Chofis” Lopez gave the hosts the lead in the early stages, Sporting equalized through Jaylin Lindsey’s first career goal before halftime. Second-half goals from Alan Pulido and Daniel Salloi spurred Sporting to a famous road win.

It also marked just the fourth time this season that a goalkeeper has produced seven or more saves on their way to a shutout victory.

7+ saves and shutout win - 2021 MLS Regular Season

The two sides only met once in 2020, exchanging haymakers in the MLS Cup Playoffs Western Conference Quarterfinals at Children’s Mercy Park on Nov. 22, 2020. Sporting raced into an early lead through Roger Espinoza before San Jose turned the game around before halftime through Carlos Fierro and Shea Salinas. Sporting equalized just after the break through Ilie Sanchez before Gianluca Busio struck in stoppage time to give his side the lead, only for MLS all-time leading goalscorer Chris Wondolowski to equalize moments before the final whistle.

POSTGAME PV

On gutting out the win vs. LA Galaxy on July 4: “That’s actually a good choice of words. It was one of those games where you had to dig deep. LA was good. They were organized. They found good moments to really press the ball. It was a really difficult game for us. It was one of the more difficult games we’ve had to play. One of the things our guys did tonight was we were stingy as well. I know there was a chance here or there but we had chances here or there as well. That’s what happens in the game but we didn’t lose ourselves. We found a way to not only keep a clean sheet but get that first one and then we actually stayed very committed after the first one. (Andreu) Fontas hit the post on that free kick we flicked to the back post. We stay in the game. We get the goal. To finish them off with the second goal was very mature of us. We dug deep.”

After a scoreless extra time, Sporting emerged victorious on penalty kicks as goalkeeper Tim Melia saved all three attempts from San Jose’s Oswaldo Alanis, Jackson Yueill and Cristian Espinoza, while Sporting’s Johnny Russell, Ilie and Khiry Shelton all converted.

Sporting leads the all-time series with San Jose 28-25-8, inclouding a 21-8-1 mark at home. Sporting is 7-1-1 against San Jose since late 2016.

BUSIO SHINES FOR USMNT

Sporting Kansas City Academy product Gianluca Busio made his highly anticipated debut for the U.S. Men’s National Team on July 11 against Haiti, before earning his first two starts against Martinique and Canada on July 15 and 18 as the USMNT won all three group stage games to advance as group winners.

On Johnny Russell and Khiry Shelton getting their first goals of the season: “It’s very important. I think it’s also very important mentally for us to be able to go away feeling good about our performance and getting a result. Now we have a break for the guys to get rested both physically and mentally. It’s good for the club. It’s good for our fans. It’s a job well done. We’ve just got to have a good little break and then get ourselves prepared for the next set of games.”

Sunday’s win over Canada capped a momentous week for Busio. Not only has he earned his first three caps for the U.S., he also bagged his first assist in Thursday’s 6-1 triumph against Martinique. All three appearances have come in the friendly confines of Children’s Mercy Park, where the USMNT now boasts an unbeaten 8-0-1 record.

Kansas City remains unbeaten as the USMNT’s host city with a 10-0-1 mark dating back to 1968.

On Tim Melia’s performance: “Tim was fantastic. Tim was really mature today. I’m not saying he’s not been in the past but today he did so much more for us just in his management of the game and his confidence, his bravery to play out of the back, and he knew when to sit on the ball. He was excellent in all phases of the game. He had some unbelievable distribution. The ball he threw out to Daniel (Salloi) in the first half was great awareness. He was excellent.”

Busio moved to Kansas City to join the Sporting KC Academy in 2016 and has developed into one of the top teenagers in American soccer since signing a Homegrown Player contract with the club at age 15 in August 2017. Busio is the first SKC Academy product to appear in an official competition for the USMNT, and is the youngest player in the U.S.’s Gold Cup squad.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 21, 2021 vs. 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 198 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 163 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 454 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.

Height: 5-10 Weight: 175 Birthday: 11/28/1999 Hometown: Los Angeles, California Last Club: Sporting Kansas City II (USL) Acquired: Signed as Homegrown on 10/21/2020 Sporting Kansas City signed striker Wilson Harris as a Homegrown Player in October 2020 after he spent two and a half seasons with Sporting KC II in the USL Championship, scoring 23 goals in that time. Harris becomes the 13th Homegrown Player to emerge from the Sporting Academy, and the eighth on the current roster. He made his MLS debut on May 12, 2021 in a narrow loss at Houston Dynamo FC.

Harris was the top-scoring teenager in American professional soccer in 2019, finishing the year with 12 goals in 25 USL Championship appearances. His dozen goals - which included a run of 10 strikes in his final 11 appearances - equaled the league’s singleseason record for a teenager. After joining the SKC Academy in 2017, Harris inked his first professional contract for Sporting KC II the following year and ended the 2018 USL Championship campaign with three goals in 15 games.

Harris became the youngest USL Championship player to eclipse 20 career goals in 2020. In three USL Championship seasons with Sporting II, Harris has started 39 of 56 appearances and averaged 0.64 goals per 90 minutes played. The forward bagged a team-leading eight goals under head coach and longtime Sporting midfielder Paulo Nagamura in 2020 while playing in every game of the abbreviated 16-game season.

A native of Los Angeles, Harris had prolific stints in the Seattle Sounders FC Academy and Real SoCal Academy before moving to Kansas City. During the 2017-18 season, he led the Sporting KC U-19s with 18 goals in 17 league appearances. On the international stage, Harris has represented the United States at the U-16, U-18 and U-20 levels.

In three seasons with SPR, Hernandez amassed 13 goals and 12 assists across 85 matches.

Born in Ibague, Colombia, Hernandez grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and played for Sporting Nashville Heroes, a former Academy Affiliate. He moved to Kansas City in the summer of 2014 to join the Academy. At age 16, Hernandez earned a preseason training stint with Sporting KC in January 2015, before signing an Academy contract with Sporting KC II in August 2016, two months prior to earning Bob Gansler Academy Player of the Year honors that then led to a professional SKC II contract in early 2017.

On the international stage, Hernandez played for the U.S. U-19 National Team for the first time in August 2016 for the Stevan Vilotic-Cele Tournament in Serbia. The following April, he ventured to London for his first training camp with the U.S. U-20s.

Birthday: 3/23/1994

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

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

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

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

Kinda has two caps for the senior Israeli National Team, making his debut on June 5, 2021 when he scored the final goal in a 3-1 friendly win over Montenegro. He previously represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels.

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.

LAST MATCH Colorado Rapids 1 - 1 San Jose Earthquakes; July 17, 2021; Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colo.

The San Jose Earthquakes earned a 1-1 draw against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Midfielder Chofis scored his third goal of the season, while 17-year-old forward Cade Cowell tallied his team-leading fourth assist. Saturday’s result saw the Quakes earn their second consecutive road draw against a team in good form, with Colorado entering the match on a 6-2-1 run in their last nine matches.

QUOTEABLE SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES HEAD COACH MATIAS ALMEYDA On the team’s approach to this match: “I wanted to achieve a more solid defense. This system also allowed for lots of fast players on the sides. I knew about the sacrifice needed to be made by Eric Remedi and Chofis, but I also knew we could hurt them in every counter-attack. We also reinforced our aerial game. We planned this match this way.”

On the chemistry developing between Cade Cowell and Chofis: “Every coach looks for chemistry and for different players to form partnerships. Chofis is a player that needs to have partnerships. Important things come from Chofis being on the ball. He is scoring and assisting on goals. He is one of our most dangerous players in the offensive phase. Cade keeps growing and yet is still very young. When he improves on the things that I am looking for, he will become a very important player for his club and country. That requires time for him to play, make mistakes, play well or decently. That is the only way for young players to progress and grow.”

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES MIDFIELDER CHOFIS On his chemistry with Cade Cowell: “I think players in the midfield, especially those in the number 10 role, as I was, need partnerships in order to understand each other, and make goal-scoring passes. Regarding Cade, who is just starting his career, we’re going step by step, and we’ve connected on a couple of goals. I have no doubt that he will develop into a great player in a couple of years. He still has much to learn. He is doing a great job and we need to continue down this path, in which we learn off each other. We also learn from everyone else, especially the coaching staff who take the week to plan goal-scoring plays.”

MLS ROYALTY When it comes to Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski, the statistics speak for themselves. Here are a few of the all-time MLS leaderboards that Wondo has ascended over his career (regular season stats only).

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 12 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.”

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.”
