Sporting KC Game Notes | September 23, 2020 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvORL: HEAD-TO-HEAD
#SKCvORL: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City will look to return to winning ways on Wednesday night when the side hosts high-flying Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting (6-4-2, 20 pts.) is coming off a frustrating 3-2 home defeat to FC Dallas on Saturday afternoon, while Orlando improved to 6-2-4 (22 pts.) after topping the Chicago Fire 4-1 at Exploria Stadium over the weekend. Sporting occupy second place in the Western Conference while Orlando City are tied for third in the East after their recent 4-0-2 run. Orlando’s last visit to Children’s Mercy Park came on Sept. 8, 2018, with Sporting in the midst of a tear to close out the regular season. Sporting scored the only goal of the game early in the second half when Felipe Gutierrez struck in a low shot off Yohan Croizet’s assist to give Sporting all three points. In 2019, Sporting paid a visit to Exploria Stadium for just the third time in the club’s MLS history on Aug. 14. Tesho Akindele got Orlando off the mark early on the night and Sporting was unable to claw their way back into the game. The all-time MLS regular-season series is all tied up at 2-2-1, though Sporting is a perfect 2-0-0 at home against Orlando after the victory in 2018 and a come-from-behind 2-1 win in 2016. The two sides have met twice in the U.S. Open Cup, in 2012 & 2013. Sporting KC emerged victorious in the Third Round encounter at Children’s Mercy Park on May 29, 2012, behind two goals from Soony Saad and another from Paulo Nagamura. The opposite was the case in 2013, when Long Tan scored in just the second minute for Orlando to earn the visitors the victory at CMP in a Fourth Round contest.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 23, 2020 vs. Orlando City SC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes FIGHTING FOR CONSISTENCY
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES
SPORTING AMONG LEADERS OF YOUTH PUSH
Sporting Kansas City continues Phase Two of the club’s “return to local markets” schedule when the side hosts Orlando City SC at Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Sporting has two more games slated for Phase Two, as Peter Vermes’ side will trek back to Dick’s Sporting Goods Park to take on the Colorado Rapids on Sept. 27 after facing off against Orlando City midweek. DATE OPPONENT Sept. 23 vs. Orlando City SC Sept. 27 at Colorado Rapids
Sporting Kansas City has been throwing the youngsters into the fire in 2020, as a host of Homegrown players have seen significant minutes over the course of the stop-start season. In Saturday’s 3-2 loss to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park, Homegrown duo Gianluca Busio and Felipe Hernandez went the full 90 minutes in midfield. On Sept. 2, Sporting Kansas City secured a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas, a result that showcased not only the club’s pro player pathway with five Homegrown Players taking the field, but also three of the team’s youngest contributors: 18-year-old Busio, 19-yearold Cam Duke and 20-year-old Jaylin Lindsey, who have logged a combined 1,301 minutes through this year’s first dozen regular season games.
TIME BROADCAST 6:30 p.m. FS1, FOX Deportes 8:00 p.m. FOX Sports KC
Sporting KC are currently in second place in the Western Conference following Saturday afternoon’s frustrating 3-2 loss to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting are now 6-4-2 (20 pts.) on the season and one point behind Seattle Sounders FC in first - who surged above Sporting with a 3-0 win over Los Angeles FC last Friday. Orlando City, meanwhile, are 6-2-4, (22 pts.) in 2020 and are in the midst of a 4-0-2 run after reaching the final of the MLS is Back Tournament in August.
That total is third most in MLS when ranking clubs based on minutes played in 2020 by players currently age 20 or younger, only trailing FC Dallas (1,732) and the New York Red Bulls (1,350).
SPORTING COULD MAKE SCORING HISTORY ON WEDNESDAY When Johnny Russell’s low strike cut into FC Dallas’ two-goal lead on Saturday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park early in the second half, Sporting Kansas City continued their remarkable scoring record in the 2020 MLS regular season.
Wednesday’s game will see Sporting KC close out a three-game homestand, with the side earning a 1-0 win over Minnesota United FC on Sept. 13 before falling to Dallas by a 3-2 scoreline on Sept. 19. Sporting is 2-2-1 at home this season, and will look to improve on that in front of an 18-precent capacity crowd on Wednesday. Sporting are 2-0-0 all-time in regular-season home games against Orlando City, claiming one-goal victories in 2016 and 2018.
Sporting KC is the only team in MLS yet to be shut out and have now scored in their first 12 matches of a regular season for the first time since 2008. Sporting have never scored in more than 12 consecutive games to start a campaign. Sporting struck in each of the first dozen matches to open 2003, 2008 and now 2020.
Sporting KC expects to receive the remainder of their 2020 schedule in the near term as the regular-season is set to wrap up on November 8 before a month-long postseason. Sporting, who played their 200th game in all competitions at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday, are looking for their 250th home win in their history (all comps). Manager & Sporting Director Peter Vermes is also seeking his 150th regular-season victory for the club.
Having surpassed the halfway point of the season, might Sporting threaten one of the more remarkable feats in MLS history by scoring in every match of a regular season? It’s only been done once before, all the way back in 1998 when D.C. United scored in all 32 games amidst a stunning 52-game scoring streak that spanned from August 1997 through June 1999.
LOOKING EAST
MLS UNITES TO VOTE
For the first time in the 2020 regular season, Sporting Kansas City will finally face off against an Eastern Conference foe when Orlando City SC visits Children’s Mercy Park on Wednesday night. Sporting’s previous 12 regular-season games have all come against Western Conference sides, though SKC did take on the Philadelphia Union in the MLS is Back Tournament Quarterfinals.
Last Thursday morning, Major League Soccer (MLS), Black Players for Change (BPC), and the MLS Players Association (MLSPA) launched MLS Unites to Vote, a Leaguewide, non-partisan initiative to help players, staff and fans register to vote and participate in this year’s election. Kicking off in advance of National Black Voter Day (Friday, Sept. 18) and National Voter Registration Day (Tuesday, Sept. 22), MLS Unites to Vote will leverage enterprise-wide platforms to educate our community on the voting process, drive voter registration, encourage volunteerism on election day, & showcase the efforts of MLS clubs & players.
Sporting and Orlando both find themselves near the summit of their respective conferences, but enter Wednesday’s game in very different runs of form. Sporting, second in the West, has won just two of their seven games since returning to local markets (2-3-2), while Orlando City, tied for third in the East, are riding a six-game unbeaten streak (4-0-2).
In addition, MLS front office and U.S.-based club facilities will be closed on Election Day (Tuesday, November 3), to ensure that everyone in the MLS community can exercise their right to vote and serve their community as a poll worker or nonpartisan election volunteer.
In 2019, Sporting KC visited Exploria Stadium on Aug. 14 and fell to a 1-0 defeat after Tesho Akindele’s early goal for the Lions. Sporting fielded an experimental lineup on the night with Jimmy Medranda as a “false nine” and Gianluca Busio on the left wing, but was unable to take anything from the game.
COACH SPEAK: PETER VERMES
Thoughts on FC Dallas’ strong start: “I thought we were fine. At a point in the first half, we lost the ball in situations one after another on defensive plays and on the first goal where we didn’t defend the box which put us in a tough situation. I will say that the guys came out and I think, for most of the game, we were good with the ball. I would say we didn’t give a lot away, but unfortunately, what we gave away was because of mistakes on our part. Giving the ball away in easy spots is what I think two of the goals came off of - really easy spots. They did a good job to finish those chances.”
In their last visit to Children’s Mercy Park, Orlando fell to a 1-0 setback of their own. In September 2018, Sporting claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Orlando after Felipe Gutierrez’s strike early in the second half. The result came in the midst of Sporting KC’s 9-2-2 tear to close out the 2018 regular season and claim first place in the West. Sporting KC and Orlando City are deadlocked at 2-2-1 in the all-time regular-season series, although SKC has a perfect 2-0-0 record after that win in 2018 and a 2-1 comeback victory in 2016.
On the game flow in the second half: “The simplest way for me to address that is this: If you want people to watch the games in this league, whether it be live or on television, fans don’t want to see those types of antics in a game. If we’re puzzled at times why people don’t come to watch you play or why they don’t watch you play on TV, you look at those antics and people don’t want to see them. I’m involved in this game and I have been since I was born, and I don’t want to see those things so I don’t understand why the fan would want to see those types of antics in any game. I think it’s disrespectful to the sport, I think it’s disrespectful to the league, I think it’s disrespectful to everyone who is involved in Major League Soccer, whether that be fans, owners, staff or players. Those things don’t belong in our game. That is not what I would want to see, and I would think most people wouldn’t want to see. The referee has got to manage that. I think at times he was really good, and I think referees have the easiest job in the world to manage behavior on the field. They have the chance with cards, with that whistle, to shape the game. When players are making a mockery of it, it should be taken care of by the referee crew. Unfortunately, at times during today’s game it wasn’t. I think in certain situations he did very well. There are things Alex (Chilowicz) does very well in the game, but I just don’t think those things should be allowed.”
RUSSELL CONTINUES FINE FORM
Sporting Kansas City winger Johnny Russell continued his excellent recent form with a brace in the frustrating 3-2 defeat against FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park on Saturday afternoon. Russell’s two goals brought SKC back from a 2-0 deficit, only form the home side to concede late and drop the result. Saturday’s brace was Russell’s fourth multi-goal game and moves him into eighth on the club’s career multi-goal game chart alongside Sporting Legends Mo Johnston and Chris Klein. Russell’s double also sees the Scottish international join an elite group of eight players in club history to contribute 25 goals and 25 assists across all competitions, alongside Graham Zusi, Davy Arnaud, Preki, Klein, Benny Feilhaber, Johnston and Josh Wolff. His regular season strike rate has vaulted him into second on the club’s career goals per game chart, with his 0.34 goals per game average surpassing two-time MLS MVP Preki and Kei Kamara. Russell, who was named to the bench of the MLS Team of the Week, only trails Dom Dwyer (0.45) in that category.

Sporting KC Game Notes | September 23, 2020 vs. Orlando City SC | 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 12th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2020 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 184 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. 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 149 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 430 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 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 fourth 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 enters his third 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.

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. 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. Before his move to Sporting, the playmaker ranked fourth in the league with a team-best seven goals while also leading the side with four assists.
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. 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.
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.
On the international stage, Kinda has represented Israel at the U-18, U-19 and U-21 levels. Kinda has yet to earn his first cap for the Israeli Men’s National Team but was selected to the senior squad for UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying in fall 2019.

MATCH STORYLINES STAIRWAY TO SEVEN With a result on Wednesday, the Lions will break a Club-record with their seventh-consecutive result, posting a 4-0-2 record in their last six matches. The previous record was set at the beginning of the 2018 season, when the Lions rattled off six-consecutive wins from March 31 to May 6. Throughout the current stretch, City has posted a +8 goaldifferential and has yet to concede multiple times in a single match.
CASHING IN Chris Mueller continued his impressive form on Saturday, netting a goal and adding an assist to extend his team lead in both categories to seven and five respectively. Sitting at 12 total goal contributions, the 2018 MLS SuperDraft selection is tied for the most in Major League Soccer along with LAFC forward Diego Rossi, Columbus Crew SC forward Gyasi Zardes and Toronto FC midfielder Alejandro Pozuelo.
EL PULPO Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese once more proved how fitting his nickname is on Saturday night, with a punching stop of Álvaro Medrán’s penalty attempt in the 36th minute of play. This marked the first time a City goalkeeper has denied a penalty in MLS regular-season play since Adam Grinwis did the same on October 28, 2018, denying RBNY’s Derrick Etienne from the spot. Despite registering just two saves in the match, Gallese came up big once more for the Lions in the 54th, denying Medrán again with a punching effort to maintain City’s onegoal lead at the time.
A SEASON-HIGH The Lions scored a season-best four goals on Saturday against the Chicago Fire, with Chris Mueller, Nani, Júnior Urso and Benji Michel each finding the back of the net on the night. Six different members of the squad notched a goal contribution, with Mauricio Pereyra and Andrés Perea rounding out the list, registering assists in the match to lock up the three-goal victory for the Lions at home. The Lions currently lead the Eastern Conference with 23 goals scored in regular-season play.
AGAINST THE OPPOSITION In its last match against Wednesday’s opposition, City earned a 1-0 shutout victory over Sporting Kansas City on August 14, 2019 at Exploria Stadium. Tesho Akindele scored the eventual game-winner for the Lions in the 21st minute of play as the Club registered its seventh shutout of the year to tie a Club record set previously in both the 2015 and 2017 MLS seasons. EL CAPITÁN City captain Luis Nani registered multiple goal contributions on Saturday, finding the back of the net in what served as the eventual game-winner in the 24th minute before earning the assist on Benji Michel’s second half stoppage time finish. Nani trails only forward Chris Mueller in goal contributions in the regular season, with seven to his credit.

LAST TIME VS. OPPONENT Orlando City SC earned a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City on Aug. 14, 2019 at Exploria Stadium. Tesho Akindele scored the eventual game-winner for the Lions in the 21st minute, his ninth goal of the 2019 season, to take sole possession of the team lead and set a single-season personal best. The clean sheet served as City’s seventh of the 2019 season, tying a Club record set in both 2015 and 2017. Goalkeeper Brian Rowe has been responsible for each of the Lions’ seven shutouts this season, matching former City goalkeeper Joe Bendik’s 2017 total for the most in a single-season. Scoring Summary: ORL - Tesho Akindele (Carlos Ascues, Uri Rosell) 21’
MATCH PREVIEW Orlando City SC (6-2-4, 22 points) is set to play its first match of a two-game road trip when it travels to face Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at Children’s Mercy Park. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. The match will be nationally broadcast on FS1, while being transmitted on Real Radio 104.1 in English and Acción 97.9FM, 810AM in Spanish. “Kansas City is a dominant team who during the years have established a model of the game that has an identity with Peter [Vermes] in a 4-3-3. Always being aggressive and trying to press and all those things, so we know their ways to do things,” Head Coach Oscar Pareja said. “For us, as always, we’ll try to be protagonists as well as we have always said. We want to compete and try to get the three points against one of the best teams in the West.” With a result on Wednesday, City would break a Clubrecord with its seventh-consecutive match unbeaten, passing the previous mark of six set in the beginning of the 2018 season. The Lions come into the fixture after scoring a season-high four goals in a 4-1 win over Chicago Fire FC this past Saturday. Chris Mueller, Nani, Júnior Urso and Benji Michel each found the back of the net for City, scoring twice on both sides of the break to tie a Club-record at six matches unbeaten. Mueller leads the Lions with seven goals and five assists this season, tied for the highest mark in goal contributions in Major League Soccer. Nani follows with four goals of his own, while Mauricio Pereyra sits at second in assists with four. Sporting Kansas City enters the week looking to bounce back from a 3-2 loss at home to FC Dallas on Saturday. The home side looked to be on their way to splitting the points with The Toros after answering a Franco Bara brace with one from Johnny Russell, only for Ryan Hollingshead to net the gamewinner in the 86th minute to give the visitors all three points from the match. Russell leads Sporting Kansas City with five goals this season, followed by Gadi Kinda and Khiry Shelton at four apiece. Alan Pulido leads the side with four assists. Following Wednesday’s match, the Lions will continue on the road as they travel to face Pareja’s former club, slated for a visit to FC Dallas on Sunday, Sept. 27.

EVP OF SOCCER OPS LUIZ MUZZI Luiz Muzzi was brought to Orlando City in January 2019. Muzzi oversees soccer operations for Orlando City of Major League Soccer (MLS), including the management of all player-related matters, scouting efforts and overall team administration. Muzzi came to Orlando after serving six years with FC Dallas in multiple soccer operations roles, overseeing all aspects of player personnel, scouting and team administration. While in Frisco, Muzzi built a roster that reached the MLS playoffs four out of the past five seasons, including two Western Conference Semifinal appearances and a Western Conference Final appearance in 2015. During that span, FC Dallas finished the MLS regular season in first place in 2015 and 2016, and also won the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and claimed the MLS Supporters’ Shield for the first time in club history in 2016. Muzzi was integral in building one of the most dominant developmental academies in North America, while setting numerous MLS Homegrown records, with FC Dallas. In 2019, Muzzi led the charge in formulating a backline that tied a Clubrecord for shutouts in a single season, helping the Lions to concede 22 less goals than the year prior. This marked the second-best improvement of any team in Major League Soccer from the previous year.
ASSISTANT COACH DIEGO TORRES Diego Torres joined the Orlando City staff prior to the 2020 Major League Soccer season after over a decade spent at Club Tijuana in various roles, where he worked with Oscar Pareja in 2019. While at Tijuana, Torres spent time as an assistant coach and as the club’s Technical Director for its academy. In 2017, he was named interim manager, returning to his role as an assistant upon conclusion of the year. Beginning in 2012, he also served as an assistant for Ascenso MX side Dorados de Sinaloa, with stints in 2012, 2014 and 2018. On the field, Torres enjoyed a 10-year career as a professional throughout Mexico. He made his professional debut in 1998 for Tecos F.C. and would go on to total over 200 professional appearances across several Mexican clubs in over a decade of play, scoring 42 goals.
GOALKEEPER COACH CÉSAR BAENA César Baena was named to the First Team staff following three years working in Orlando, most recently serving as a goalkeeping coach for the Orlando City Development Academy. Prior to his time in Orlando, Baena spent eight years working with a number of clubs in Venezuela and Mexico, including Carabobo FC, Mineros de Guayana, Deportivo Lara FC, Club Tijuana and Caracas FC where he began his coaching career in 2001. On the pitch, Baena was a regular in goal for the Venezuelan National Team, appearing in World Cup Qualifiers for the 1986, 1990 and 1998 editions of the tournament. Overall, he played 20 years as a professional with various clubs in Venezuela and Bolivia, including Caracas FC, Estudiantes de Merida FC, Merida FC and Club Deportivo Oriente Petrolero.
HEAD COACH OSCAR PAREJA Oscar Pareja was named the Orlando City Head Coach on December 4, 2019, joining the Lions from Club Tijuana of Liga MX, a stint that followed an accomplished tenure at FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. Before his time in Mexico, Pareja spent five seasons at FC Dallas where he served as the head coach, working directly with Luiz Muzzi to build one of the premier development pyramids across MLS. While at Dallas, he compiled a 78-49-43 record, including a 2016 season that saw Pareja earn MLS Coach of the Year honors following a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title and the MLS Supporters’ Shield. During his tenure, FC Dallas reached the postseason four out of five seasons. Prior to his time as Dallas’ head coach, the Medellin, Colombia native spent two seasons as the manager of the Colorado Rapids, reaching the playoffs in 2013. Before serving at the helm, he spent a number of years working with the FC Dallas Academy, as well as an assistant on the first team staff. In the 2010-11 season, the same season that saw U.S. Soccer rank the FC Dallas Academy No. 1 in the nation, Pareja earned U-18 Academy Coach of the Year. Pareja also spent time coaching the U.S. U-17 Men’s National Team from 2007-08. On the pitch, Pareja played over 400 matches professionally in his native country of Colombia between Independiente Medellin and Deportivo Cali. Prior to the 1998 season, Pareja was allocated to the New England Revolution, but was traded to the Dallas Burn after 13 games where he would go on to play 170 matches, tallying 13 goals and 47 assists. On the international stage, Pareja totaled 11 caps for Colombia, scoring three goals and appearing in the 1991 Copa América.
ASSISTANT COACH JOSEMA BAZAN Josema Bazan joined the Lions ahead of the 2020 season following six years on Oscar Pareja’s staff, beginning in 2014 where he joined FC Dallas in the same capacity. A USSF “A” licensed coach, Bazan joined the FC Dallas organization in 2011 as an academy coach for its U-16 and U-18 sides, where he first worked with Pareja. In 2014, he was promoted to an assistant coaching position and has occupied the same role under Pareja ever since. He has also served as an assistant for the U-17, U-20 and senior Venezuelan National Teams. As a player, Josema played on the international stage for his native country of Argentina at the 1991 U-20 World Cup. Throughout his professional career, he spent time in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Brazil from 1986 to 1996, before finishing his playing career in Dallas as a member of the DFW Tornadoes of the former United Soccer Leagues’ D3 Pro League.
