2011 TEAM AWARDS

2011

Jimmy Nielsen was selected as Sporting Kansas City’s 2011 Most Valuable Player. Nielsen finished the regular season with a 1.14 goals against average and recorded 79 saves in 31 appearances. Nielsen posted seven shutouts and his 12 victories tied for fourth most amongst MLS goalkeepers during the regular season. The 2010 MLS All-Star was a three-time winner of Major League Soccer’s AT&T Save of the Week this season after garnering eight nominations, and was named to Major League Soccer’s Team of the Week three times to go along with two honorable mention selections.

JIMMY NIELSEN: MVP Besler, a 2011 MLS All-Star, was named Sporting Kansas City’s 2011 Defensive Player of the Year. The Overland Park native led all Sporting Kansas City players in minutes played this season with 2,880 and started each of the team’s last 27 regular season matches. He has contributed to eight Sporting Kansas City shutouts this season and in addition to his defensive duties, he scored his first two career MLS goals and recorded his first three career MLS assists. Sporting Kansas City also capitalized on Besler’s trademark long throw-ins this season, scoring five goals as a direct result of the specialized set piece. Most recently, Besler scored the game-winning goal against D.C. United to help Sporting Kansas City clinch the Eastern Conference title.

He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing over 16,000 minutes. He has been nominated on the players ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame annually since 2007.

Zambrano is fluent in both English and Spanish. He also speaks Italian, Russian and Portuguese. Zambrano played for Ecuador’s U-20 National Team and First Division club Union Deportiva Valdez before starring at Chapman University in the U.S. Zambrano then played professionally for the Los Angeles Lazers in the USISL before becoming a coach. Zambrano was a Head Coach in MLS for both the Los Angeles Galaxy and New York/New Jersey MetroStars, coaching 143 games and winning three division championships over six seasons. Zambrano went 80-55-8 as a head coach, including a 32-18-0 record in Los Angeles and a 48-37-8 record in New York. Zambrano coached some of the best players in MLS history, including Paul Caligiuri, Robin Fraser, Carlos Hermosillo, Eduardo Hurtado, Cobi Jones, Clint Mathis, Welton, Tim Howard, Lothar Matthaus and Tab Ramos.

John Pascarella – Goalkeeper Coach 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 Russia and 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 is married and has four children.

Zambrano’s teams are known for playing fast-paced, attacking soccer. In 1998, the Zambrano-led Galaxy scored a League-record 85 goals in 32 games (2.65 goals/game) and posted the most wins and best winning percentage in League history (24-8-0, .750). In 2000, Zambrano’s New York scored 64 goals in 32 games (2.00 goals/game), the 8th most goals in League history by a club in one season.

He also founded and coached the Latino-based LA Salsa U-19 team to the finals of the McGuire Cup, the top youth competition 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.
