SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY CENTURYLINK FIELD, Seattle, Wash.

May 23, 2015 (WEEK 12, MLS Game #118) 7 p.m. PT (JOEtv / ROOT-NW Alt; KMCI-38)

A vital meeting in the Western Conference is ahead when Seattle Sounders FC return home to take on Sporting Kansas City on Saturday evening at CenturyLink Field. The teams are separated by just two points in a tight divisional tussle, Sounders FC sitting just two points off the top spot. Sounders FC head back home following an impressive 2-0 victory at West leaders Vancouver Whitecaps FC, while Sporting hit the road after putting an end to the New England Revolution’s long undefeated run with a 4-2 home win at midweek.

Sounders FC have an eight-game league unbeaten streak alive against Sporting, including a 1-0 win at CenturyLink Field last March 8 in the only meeting between the teams. Since a 1-0 KC win in 2009 in the first meeting ever between the clubs, Seattle has won seven matches (with one draw).

The teams did meet in the 2012 U.S. Open Cup Final, Sporting winning in a penalty-kick shootout after a 1-1 draw over 120 minutes in K.C., ending Sounders FC’s three-year hold on the Open Cup title.

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P8 W0 L7 D1 … Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P41 W20 L15 D6 SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC returned to their winning ways, concluding a three-game road swing with a 2-0 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday afternoon at BC Place. Sounders FC are in third place in the Western Conference with 19 points from 10 matches. LAST MATCH

Sounders FC got off to the perfect start, taking the lead after just five minutes. Collecting a bouncing ball in midfield, Clint Dempsey played in Chad Barrett and he outpaced the Whitecaps FC backline to finish low past goalkeeper David Ousted.

Sounders FC doubled their lead with seven minutes remaining in the half. Barrett struck again, getting on the end of a perfectly weighted pass from Marco Pappa before volleying past Ousted from a tight angle, the finish capping off a 25-pass sequence.

Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made two changes to the team that fell 3-2 to Columbus Crew SC at Mapfre Stadium. Lamar Neagle came into a wide role in place of Andy Rose, and Chad Barrett started up top in place of Obafemi Martins.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-4-2): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans, Chad Marshall, Dylan Remick - Marco Pappa (Leo Gonzalez 90), Osvaldo Alonso, Gonzalo Pineda, Lamar Neagle (Darwin Jones 85) - Chad Barrett (Andy Rose 72), Clint Dempsey.

TEAM NEWS It was a second victory on the three-game road swing for Sounders FC, who have victories in five of their last

six matches. “It’s early in the season but we wanted to let people know that we are still here. We haven’t disappeared,”

Schmid said. “I know Dallas and Vancouver have been on top of the table pretty much from the beginning of the season. But we wanted to let people know the road still goes through Seattle.”


The visit by Sporting KC starts a string of three home games over the next week. Sounders FC return to CenturyLink Field not having allowed a goal there in their last 200 minutes.

“We’ve got a tough stretch next week,” Schmid said. “I know we’ve got three at home, but we still have three games in a week so it’s going to be a little bit of work. That means we’re going to have to rely on our whole team as well. Different people are going to pop up and play.”

Chad Barrett scored two goals in a game for the sixth time in his MLS career – the first time since 2010 – for his first two goals this season. It was his second start of the year, his first since March 28.

“[Barrett] has scored goals in this league before,” Seattle head coach Sigi Schmid said. “I know he’s a good player. He scored goals for us last year. We talked about it. ‘Hey, here’s your chance. You’ve got to make use of your opportunity. Focus on the game.’ We tried to keep him in between their two center backs and look for those little gaps when they popped up and he finished both his chances really well.”

Barrett was in the lineup in place of Obafemi Martins, who was out with a tibial contusion. Martins had not returned to full training at the start of the week before the Sporting match.

“[Martins] looks unlikely for this weekend,” Schmid said. “He’s in the gym and working, but he can’t get on the field yet.”

Clint Dempsey extended his streak to eight games this year with a goal and/or an assist – every game he’s played this season – with an assist vs. Vancouver. Dating back to last year, Dempsey has a goal and/or assist in 10 consecutive games; the MLS record is 11 games, set three times previously.

It was a sixth clean sheet of the season for Sounders FC, the first since April 26, and the first after again conceding a season-high three goals.

“Three out of our back four are new guys. Remick didn’t play that much last year. Tyrone’s a new guy, we shifted Brad Evans’ position and I think those guys are really starting to gel and understand each other,” said Schmid.

Said goalkeeper Stefan Frei: “That was probably our best performance overall just because we were very efficient and in control offensively and defensively at all times. Our possession was spot on. The way we took care of our chances was clinical. It was a pleasure to watch.”

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City extended their undefeated run to four games, rolling to a 4-2 win against the New England Revolution on Wednesday evening at Sporting Park. Sporting are in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with 17 points from 11 matches. LAST MATCH

The Revolution took the lead in the 11th minute. Kelyn Rowe sent through a long diagonal ball 30 yards from goal for Juan Agudelo to run onto. After making a cutback that took a Sporting defender off his feet, Agudelo calmly slotted the ball past Tim Melia with the goalkeeper caught well off his line.

But the Sporting barrage began in the 29th minute. In the center of the box, Dom Dwyer squared up with his back to goal, received a pass from Krisztian Nemeth off his chest, spun to his right and fired a low left-footed shot inside goalkeeper Brad Knighton's right post.

SKC took the lead in the 39th minute when Nemeth headed home from inside the area from a free kick flighted in by Benny Feilhaber out on the left flank. Just three minutes after that, Revolution defender Jose Goncalves was called for a foul on Dwyer just inside the top of the penalty and referee Allen Chapman pointed to the spot, and Feilhaber sent the 'keeper the wrong way in converting the resulting penalty.

Less than a half-minute into the second half, Nemeth bagged his second of the night. Winger Jacob Peterson made a long run to win a duel for the ball outside the New England penalty area, then sent a perfect diagonal pass that Nemeth settled and finished cleanly under Knighton.

New England pulled a goal back in the 64th minute when Scott Caldwell knocked home second-half substitute Teal Bunbury's cross from just right of the penalty spot.

SKC manager Peter Vermes made four changes to the team that came back for a 1-1 draw with D.C. United at RFK Stadium. Kevin Ellis and Amadou Dia came into the back four in place of Erik Palmer-Brown and Seth Sinovic, and Paulo Nagamura and Krisztian Nemeth came into the team replacing Roger Espinoza and Graham Zusi.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Jalil Anibaba, Kevin Ellis, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Paulo Nagamura (Servando Carrasco 86) - Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 79), Dom Dwyer, Krisztian Nemeth (Saad Abdul-Salaam 90).

TEAM NEWS Sporting made it four games without defeat, with two wins and two draws in that time, with the win against New

England. SKC has suffered just one loss in their last nine games dating back to March 21. Sporting also remained undefeated for the season at Sporting Park with a second home victory. Sporting are 3-

0-3 on their home ground this season, one of five undefeated teams at home still remaining in MLS.


The four goals scored equaled the most for Sporting this season – matching the total they hit for in a wild 4-4 draw at the Houston Dynamo on April 25.

“The execution of the game plan was very good. We played with a lot of intelligence in the game, and I thought that was the difference. There was obviously a lot of effort and everything else, but I thought our intelligence in the game was very good,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes.

Krisztian Nemeth scored his first two-goal game since coming to MLS, now leading Sporting with five goals this season. Nemeth had been held without a goal in back-to-back games after scoring three goals over a four-game span April 5-25. He also contributed his first MLS assist.

Dom Dwyer scored for a second consecutive match, his third goal in the last four matches and his fourth goal of the season, all since April 5.

“There's no doubt that Dom can score and there is no doubt that Krisztian can. It's just them getting used to the league a little. They found themselves in some really good spots and probably could have scored another one. … We could have scored a few more goals in that game. We were good,” said Vermes.

Said Dwyer: “We work well off each other, we kind of know where we're going to be. I'll work off the ball for him and he'll work off the ball for me. We have a little combination going. We're very unselfish with each other, we just want to win. We don't care who scores, we just want to win. At the end of the day, we're very happy right now. Four goals is a job well done for us.”

Benny Feilhaber converted his second penalty kick this season for his third goal on the year, and also added his sixth and seventh assists of the season – now leading MLS.

“These guys, they make the game without our midfield sometimes, which then opens up everything for us,” Feilhaber said. “Dom … the work he does up there creates so much opportunity for us. Krisztian, he has a way of not only dribbling the ball, but the way he manages the ball at his feet. He opens up space for other guys. Defenders keep their eye on him, which opens up space for the runs. It's very easy playing with guys like that.”

Newcomer Amadou Dia made his first start since March 14, when he started the first two games of the season, coming in at left back.

Connor Hallisey made his third substitute appearances – all over the last four matches – while Saad Abdul-Salaam made his MLS and Sporting KC debut as a late substitute.

“Our three first round draft picks closed out the game. … It was great to see those three guys in this time while we are struggling regarding injuries and everything else. For all three of those guys to be in at the end and still help us solidify and get a result is excellent,” said Vermes.

Sporting KC Game Notes | May 23, 2015: at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Sporting KC travels to Seattle in hopes of snapping an eight-game winless run against Sounders FC. Kansas City won the inaugural regular season contest between the clubs in April 2009 at CenturyLink Field, but Seattle has held the upper hand since then with seven victories and a draw. Seattle has a history of leaving it late against Sporting KC, scoring eight of their 12 goals in the series after the 75th minute. Seattle has scored in second half stoppage time to win each of the last two meetings, but the trend dates back even further: Sporting KC has given up nine points after the 65th minute during their eight-game winless streak against the reigning Supporters Shield and U.S. Open Cup champions. The spell includes four 1-0 defeats in which Seattle scored after the 90th minute and another loss in which Sporing KC led going into the 90th minute.#SEAvSKC regular season meetingsDate Score Result Details04/11/2009 KC 1 at SEA 0 W Davy Arnaud scores game-winner 10/17/2009 KC 2 vs SEA 3 L SEA erases 2-1 deficit with goals in 69’ and 76’04/17/2010 KC 0 at SEA 1 L Michael Fucito scores in 92nd minute10/09/2010 KC 1 vs SEA 2 L SEA scores in 66’ and 78’05/21/2011 KC 0 at SEA 1 L Jeff Parke scores in 93rd minute08/06/2011 KC 1 vs SEA 2 L SEA erases 1-0 deficit with goals in 90’ and 92’06/20/2012 KC 1 at SEA 1 T Jake Peterson and Patrick Ianni score early in match 05/08/2013 KC 0 vs SEA 1 L Djimi Traore scores in 94th minute03/08/2014 KC 0 at SEA 1 L Chad Barrett scores in 94th minute

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTESSPORTING KC RALLIES FOR 4-2 WIN OVER NEW ENGLAND Playing the team’s 100th game at Sporting Park and 200th MLS match under Manager Peter Vermes, Sporting Kansas City rallied for a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Wednesday at Sporting Park. Juan Agudelo opened the scoring for the visitors with an early goal in the 11th minute before Sporting Kansas City responded with four straight goals in a 18-minute span. Dom Dwyer’s well-taken goal in the 29th minute sparked the comeback followed by two goals from Krisztian Nemeth and the game-winner from Benny Feilhaber, who also earned his League-leading sixth assist of the season. Though the Revolution’s Scott Caldwell pulled a goal back in the 64th minute, Sporting KC snapped New England’s nine-game unbeaten run to remain unbeaten both at home (3-0-3) and against Eastern Conference opponents (4-0-2) in 2015.

FOUR ROOKIES DRESS IN WEDNESDAY’S VICTORY Sporting KC—without seven players due to injury, including World Cup veterans Graham Zusi and Roger Espinoza, as well as an eighth on international duty—played all three of the team’s first-round SuperDraft picks and dressed a fourth rookie draft selection in Wednesday’s win over New England. Left back Amadou Dia (No. 20 overall) made his third MLS start while midfielder Connor Hallisey (No. 10 overall) and defender Saad-Abdul Salaam (No. 12 overall) entered as late substitutes. Abdul-Salaam received his MLS debut just a day after being recalled from his loan to the NASL’s San Antonio Scorpions. In addition, rJames Ansu Rogers (No. 53 overall) was named to the substitutes bench for the first time this season. Wednesday’s match was the first since Nov. 8, 2008, in which SKC played three rookie draft selections in the same MLS game. It was also the first time since May 26, 2007, in which four rookies were in Kansas City’s 18 for a regular season match.

VERMES ONE SHY OF 100 WINS AS SPORTING KC HEAD COACH Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes has won 99 matches in all competitions since taking over in August 2009. He will go for his 100th career victory on Saturday against a Seattle side he has never defeated in MLS (0-7-1). Vermes is the only person to win MLS Cup as both a player (2000) and a coach (2013) for the same club. In addition to winning an MLS Cup championship in 2013, Vermes has guided Sporting KC to two regular season conference titles (2011, 2012) and a U.S. Open Cup title (defeating Seattle in the final at Sporting Park). The seventh-year head coach has won 80 regular season matches, tied with Octavio Zambrano for 11th most in MLS history and one shy of tying Dave Dir for 10th. He coached his 200th MLS match on Wednesday and has logged an 85-64-51 league record including postseason. He has a 99-70-55 mark in all competitions.

DWYER CLIMBING THE GOAL CHARTS Dom Dwyer bagged SKC’s first goal in a 4-2 win over New England on Wednesday. The Englishman, who set SKC’s single-season record with 24 goals in all competitions last year, moved into a tie with Mo Johnston for sixth place on the club’s all-time scoring chart with his 32nd career goal in all competitions. Dwyer, 24, is nine goals shy of entering the top five on the club’s all-time scoring chart in all competitions. His .400 goals per game rate is second best in Kansas City history (minimum 10 goals), behind only Miklos Molnar (.709) who scored 17 goals over 24 games in 2000.Top goal scorers in Sporting KC history (all competitions) Player Years with KC Goals Appearances Goals/game1.

NEMETH CATCHING FIRE Krisztian Nemeth bagged his first MLS brace on Wednesday and now leads the team with five goals in 2015. All five of his shots on target this season have resulted in goals, making him one of only four players in MLS history to score on each of their first five shots on goal during the regular season (Charlie Davies, Jesse Marsch and Claudio Suarez). Nemeth turned in a comprehensive performance against New England, adding an assist to become the first SKC player since Graham Zusi in June 2011 to notch two goals and an assist in the same game. He also completed 25 of his 26 passes to lead the team with a passing accuracy clip of 96.1 percent. Acquired in December, Nemeth is a member of the Hungary Men’s National Team and boasts 10 years of professional experience in Europe. He played for the Liverpool FC Reserves from 2007-08 while also competing in Greece, Netherlands and his native Hungary. He most recently played for Roda JC Kerkrade of the Dutch second division in 2013-14.

GOALS FLYING IN Sporting KC exploded for four goals on Wednesday en route to beating the New England Revolution 4-2 at Sporting Park. The output brings their total to 17 goals scored on the season, tied for first in MLS with New England, FC Dallas and Saturday’s opponent Seattle Sounders FC. Coming not long after a 4-4 draw at Houston on April 25, SKC has scored four or more goals twice in a four-game span for the fourth time in team history and the first time since 2003. In addition, SKC has already won twice this season when allowing two goals (4/5 and 5/20). The team won two such games in the previous three seasons combined.

DAUNTING STRETCH OF MATCHES CONTINUES Sporting KC is embarking on a stretch of five straight games against opponents who qualified for the 2014 postseason. SKC defeated reigning Eastern Conference champion and 2014 MLS Cup finalist New England Revolution 4-2 on Wednesday and now travels to face defending Supporters Shield champion Seattle Sounders FC (6-3-1, 19 pts.) just three days later. The team returns to Sporting Park on May 29 to host Western Conference leaders FC Dallas (6-2-3, 21 pts.) before locking horns again with Seattle on June 6 at Sporting Park. Following their first bye week of the season, SKC will visit Rio Tinto Stadium on June 21, where Real Salt Lake (3-3-5, 14 pts.) has lost just twice since the beginning of 2014.

TOUGH TO BEAT Peter Vermes’ side has proven hard to beat during the first two months of the season. SKC battled back from a 1-0 deficit at D.C. on May 9 to earn a 1-1 draw then came from behind to beat New England on Wednesday. The team has now claimed seven points from games when conceding first (2-2-1 record), most in MLS. Furthermore, the club’s two losses through 11 games are their fewest to start a season since 2005 and tied for their second fewest all-time.Fewest losses to start a Sporting KC seasonSeason Losses Record through 11 games2000 0 9-0-2 (29 points)2003 2 4-2-5 (17 points)2005 2 4-2-5 (17 points) 2015 2 4-2-5 (17 points)

SPORTING KC PLAYS 100TH MATCH AT SPORTING PARK Sporting KC played their 100th match at Sporting Park on Wednesday, cruising to a 4-2 victory over the New England Revolution for their 50th all-time win at the stadium (shootout wins in 2012 U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Open Cup counted as draws). The 100 games include 74 regular season, six postseason, 10 Open Cup, five CONCACAF Champions League and five friendly matches. Sporting Park has sold out 59 consecutive MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 76 of 100 overall since opening in June 2011 (all competitions). Sporting KC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,00 spectators per game in 2014. In 80 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging 19,364 spectators -- 104.9 percent of its 18,467-seat capacity.

SPORTING KC AND COLORADO RESCHEDULE MATCH FOR OCT. 21 May 16’s regular season match between Sporting KC and the Colorado Rapids at Sporting Park was postponed due to inclement weather.

PALMER-BROWN HEADING TO FIFA U-20 WORLD CUP Sporting KC defender Erik Palmer-Brown has been selected to the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team roster for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup, to be held from May 30 – June 20 in New Zealand. Palmer-Brown has joined the U-20 squad in Australia for training ahead of their first match of the tournament on May 30.

United on May 9, since signing as a homegrown player in August 2013. He made his MLS debut in 2014 at age 17 and remains the youngest player to appear in a Major League Soccer match in club history.

Coached by Tab Ramos, the Yanks were drawn into Group A alongside Myanmar (May 30), New Zealand (June 2) and Ukraine (June 5).

FEILHABER ON PACE FOR CAREER SEASON From a playmaking perspective, Benny Feilhaber has raced out to one of the best starts in Kansas City history. The 30-year-old World Cup veteran leads MLS with seven assists and ranks tied for third with 30 chances created. Feilhaber, who won Etihad Airways MLS Player of the Month for April, is on pace for a career season and looks likely to receive MLS All-Star honors for the first time in 2015. With 23 league games still to play, his three goals are one shy of his regular season career-high while his seven assists match a career-high set in 2011. Feilhaber joined MLS in 2011, playing two seasons for New England before joining SKC ahead of the 2013 campaign. In Wednesday’s 4-2 win over his former club, the midfielder tallied one goal, two assists and surpassed 10,000 MLS minutes played (including postseason).

ROAD WARRIORS Sporting KC has won 30 away matches in MLS since the beginning of 2011, tied for most in MLS, including eight road wins in each of the previous three regular seasons. Their 24 road wins from 2012-2014 are the most of any MLS club over a three-year span during the non-shootout era (2000-present). Sporting KC is one of two MLS teams (Saturday’s opponent Seattle Sounders FC) with a winning road record since the beginning of 2011, compiling a 30-28-19 mark away from home (including postseason).

SPORTING KC A SET PIECE THREAT Through the first 11 weeks of the season, Sporting KC has been one of the league’s most dangerous teams on set pieces. In addition to scoring five goals directly off set pieces, the team has accumulated numerous statistics that illustrate their set piece prowess.

• Sporting KC leads MLS with 34 chances created from set plays (11 more than any other team) and six assists from set plays

• Sporting KC leads MLS with six headed goals• Benny Feilhaber (3) and Matt Besler (2) are two of five MLS players with

multiple assists from set plays.

MELIA STEPS UP Tim Melia has started each of the last three matches in goal for Sporting KC after being a longtime backup with two other clubs. The sixth-year MLS veteran was signed in the offseason after previously representing Real Salt Lake (2010-2011) and Chivas USA (2012-2014), where he backed up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando (RSL) and Dan Kennedy (Chivas USA). In his club debut on May 3 at Sporting Park, Melia recorded the first win and shutout of his six-year MLS career as Sporting KC blanked the Chicago Fire 1-0. His solid outing between the posts, punctuated by three sure-handed saves—one of which was nominated for MLS Save of the Week—earned him BurgerFi Man of the Match honors and Team of the Week recognition from MLSsoccer.com and SI.com.Most seasons prior to first shutout/victory in MLS historyPlayer Team 1st shutout 1st victoryTim Melia Sporting KC 6th season (2015) 6th season (2015)Chris Konopka Toronto FC 6th season (2015) 6th season (2015)Eric Kronberg Sporting KC 6th season (2011) 5th season (2010)

LOAN RECAP: ABDUL-SALAAM AND SCORPIONS WIN SECOND STRAIGHT Saad Abdul-Salaam started and played the full 90 minutes in the San Antonio Scorpions 3-2 road win over FC Edmonton (1-3-2, 5 pts) at Clarke Field on Sunday.

The 23-year-old rookie was selected 12th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Akron.Mikey Lopez (OKC) USL Stats: 5 GP, 5 GS, 358 MINSaad Abdul-Salaam (San Antonio) NASL Stats: 5 GP, 4 GS, 450 MINJon Kempin (San Antonio) NASL Stats: 2 GP, 180 MIN, 2.50 GAA, 5 saves

IN-FORM DEFENDER IKE OPARA SIDELINED WITH RUPTURED ACHILLES Sporting KC announced on April 13 that defender Ike Opara has been diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left ankle. He suffered the injury in a scoreless draw between Sporting KC and Real Salt Lake on April 11. The 26-year-old had played every minute of the team’s first six games until that point after coming back from a season-ending surgery in his right ankle one year ago. At the time of his injury, Opara led Sporting KC (and all MLS defenders) with two goals in 2015, while also anchoring a backline that had three shutouts and conceded the fewest shots per game (9.8) of any team in the league. He led all players in 2015 with 30 interceptions and 33 aerials won, while ranking second in duels won (55). He was named to MLSsoccer.com’s Team of the Week in three of the season’s first four weeks and finished third in MLS Player of the Month voting for March.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | May 23, 2015: at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .553 regular season winning percentage (80-60-49) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four 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 78

regular season wins are tied for 12th most in MLS history.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, 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.

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.

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 marked the first time the United States 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, appearing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Manager | Peter VermesAssistant 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.

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. 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 top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue. The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

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.

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.

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.

Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to

work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.
