HEAD COACH GIOVANNI SAVARESE In his first season with the club, Giovanni Savarese led the Timbers to 15 regularseason wins in 2018, tied for the third-most victories for a first-year head coach in MLS history. Under Savarese’s guidance, the Timbers won their second Western Conference Championship and advanced to their second MLS Cup in 2018. Registering 18 wins overall including an impressive playoff run, Savarese became one of three head coaches since 2000 to register 18 or more wins, including playoffs, in their first year as a head coach in the league. He also became just the second head coach in the last 14 seasons to advance to MLS Cup in his first year in MLS. Appointed as the Timbers’ head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization. A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the previous five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 65-26-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch. Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, narrowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas. Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012. Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996. After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a teamrecord 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club. The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel. Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterwards, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City, where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders. In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island University after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes. Giovanni and his wife, Michelle, have two daughters, Valentina and Alessandra.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC FRIDAY, MAY 10, 2019 PREVIOUS MATCH - PORTLAND TIMBERS AT REAL SALT LAKE - W 2-1 BOX SCORE

MATCH RECAP The Portland Timbers earned their third straight win, defeating Real Salt Lake 2-1 on the road at Rio Tinto Stadium in front of 18,066 fans on May 4. Sebastián Blanco tallied the opening goal for Portland – his second of the season – while Diego Valeri scored his 70th career goal in MLS to give the Timbers their third straight win on the road. Key plays Real Salt Lake was awarded a penalty kick in the 25th minute after video review determined there was a handball in the box by Portland. Albert Rusnák stepped to the spot and sent a shot toward the bottom left corner of the goal, but Timbers goalkeeper Steve Clark dove to his right to make the save. Andrés Flores nearly gave Portland the lead in the 28th minute. Settling a loose ball at the edge of the box, Flores fired a dipping strike that skipped through the box and just wide of the left post. The Timbers secured a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute. Blanco’s initial shot from the edge of the box was saved by RSL goalkeeper Andrew Putna, but Putna was unable to control the attempt, parrying the ball back to Blanco, who pounced and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot into the back of the net for his second goal of the season. Clark kept RSL off the scoresheet in the 53rd minute, diving to his left to push a curling long-range strike by Jefferson Savarino just wide of the right post. Real Salt Lake leveled the match at 1-1 in the 62nd minute. Receiving a short pass from Corey Baird just outside the box, Sam Johnson directed a shot off the left post and into the goal. Portland reclaimed the lead at 2-1 in the 68th minute as Valeri scored his second goal of the season. Valeri picked out Blanco in the center of the box and Blanco fired a shot that was blocked by a Real Salt Lake’s Justen Glad. Valeri settled the deflected shot and hit a low, hard shot through traffic inside the left post. In the 73rd minute, Sebastián Saucedo fired a shot from the edge of the box near the left side that was heading toward the right corner of the goal, but Clark made another stop, diving to the left to get hand to the shot and direct it wide of the target.

NOTABLE QUOTES Portland Timbers head coach Giovanni Savarese On how this win feels… “It feels good again, but we wouldn’t be able to accomplish this without the work of the players; they did a great job. They really put their heart into the match. Even though sometimes we could have been a little bit better with the ball, I thought that the guys just worked very hard to make sure we made it very difficult for RSL today. It’s an important win for us, in a difficult place, and I’m very content with the performance of the guys.” On the team’s defensive performance… “We were difficult to break down. I thought, especially in the first half, [RSL] had a lot of difficulty finding spaces in between the lines. I thought the guys were ready to close the spaces and I thought also the reactions to make sure that we got back quickly in the spaces behind was very good. In some moments keeping the high line and offsides, the movements of their strikers, it was also very good in the first half. I think in the second half it became a little more difficult. I think also the guys got a little bit tired, but overall the work was fantastic tonight.” Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri On the importance of the win... “It was really important. We are using momentum to get these points back because we lost a lot of points at the start of the season. And it’s really important on the road and we had good performances. So that’s the most important for us; to keep building from those performances and then the points will come.” On his on-field relationship with Sebastián Blanco... “For me, it’s very important. You always want that kind of relationship with great players. We know each other really well; we have been playing a lot of years, a lot of games together, and we understand each other very well. All the relationships, we want to put in to the benefit of the team. Today, luckily, we scored a couple goals, we connected well too. We didn’t have a lot of chances, but we were very efficient.”

CONVERTING FROM SET-PIECES

HEADED GOALS

Following Bill Tuiloma’s volleyed finish from Diego Valeri’s corner-kick service in a 2-1 win against Toronto FC on April 27 at BMO Field, the Portland Timbers rank tied for first in MLS with D.C. United for goals scored from set plays (4). Since the start of 2018 regular season, the Timbers rank second in the league in setplay assists (11) behind only the New York Red Bulls (13). Diego Valeri’s four assists from such situations ranks first in the league in 2019. Since the beginning of the 2018 season, Valeri’s 10 assists from set plays ranks first in MLS. Valeri’s six set-play assists in 2018 were tied for first in the league with Yoshimar Yotún.

The Timbers enter Week 11 action ranked second in the league in headed goals (5) following Jeremy Ebobisse’s game-winning goal against Toronto FC on April 27. Larrys Mabiala tallied a headed goal in a 3-1 win against Columbus Crew SC on April 20. Cristhian Paredes notched a headed goal against FC Dallas on April 13. Ebobisse tallied a headed goal against Los Angeles FC on March 10, while Sebastián Blanco scored the club’s first headed goal in the season opener against the Colorado Rapids on March 2.

With two more starts, Valeri will make his 200th start (regular season and playoffs) for the Timbers since joining the club in 2013.

70/70 CLUB

CLARK NAMED TO MLS TEAM OF THE WEEK Timbers goalkeeper Steve Clark received MLS Team of the Week honors for Week 10. Against Real Salt Lake, Clark stopped Albert Rusnák’s penalty kick attempt in the 25th minute, after video review determined there was a handball in the box by Portland. Clark is the third Timbers goalkeeper to save a penalty kick in the club’s MLS era, joining Jeff Attinella and Andrew Weber, and he now has five penalty saves in his MLS career. Since his league debut in 2014, Clark is one of six goalkeepers to have five or more penalty-kick saves.

With his game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium on May 4, Diego Valeri tallied his 70th career goal for the Timbers in regular-season play. With the goal, Valeri became the ninth player in MLS history to record at least 70 goals and 70 assists. He is the only active player in the league and the first player who debuted in MLS after the 2001 season to reach this mark. Valeri joins Landon Donovan, Steve Ralston, Preki, Jaime Moreno, Cobi Jones, Dwayne De Rosario, Jason Kreis and Jeff Cunningham as the only players to reach the 70 goals and 70 assists in regular-season competition.

TIMBERS SIGN BRIAN FERNANDEZ The Portland Timbers acquired Argentine forward Brian Fernandez as a Designated Player from Liga MX side Club Necaxa on May 6. Since the beginning of 2018, Fernandez has tallied 29 goals in 44 appearances between Chilean side Unión La Calera and Necaxa, which equates to 0.78 goals per 90 minutes. Fernandez joined Necaxa in July 2018 and tallied a team-leading 18 goals and five assists in 32 appearances (25 starts) across all competitions. Fernandez finished second in the 2019 Liga MX Clausura regular-season campaign goalscoring chart with 12 goals scored in 15 appearances.

EXTENDED ROAD TRIP The Timbers will begin the 2019 season on the road for the first 12 games, as construction work is completed at Providence Park. The club is investing more than $85 million in private funding for an ambitious project that will transform Providence Park and add more than 4,000 new seats to raise the capacity to more than 25,000. Moreover, the significant investment represents a complete relaunch of the historic stadium, as the project includes extensive enhancements to the entire venue, including: a massive, state-of-the-art video board/ scoreboard that measures more than two times bigger than the previous board, new LED field lighting, new locker rooms for both the Timbers and Thorns FC, a new team store, new and refreshed concession stands and concourse amenities on the westside of the stadium and additional ingress/egress gates.
