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

March 6, 2016 (WEEK 1, MLS Game #9) 4 p.m. PT (FS1 / FOX Deportes) A high-profile contest in the Western Conference opens up the 2016 MLS season as Seattle Sounders FC play host to Sporting Kansas City on Sunday afternoon at CenturyLink Field. Sounders FC kept alive their streak of having never failed to reach the MLS Cup Playoffs in their league history – but were again stopped short of the championship match.

Sporting extended their playoff run to five consecutive years, but saw their run end at the first hurdle for a second year running following their MLS Cup triumph in 2013.

SKC took a 1-0 win June 6 at Sporting Park; the teams also played to a pair of draws, once at each ground.

Sounders FC have a five-game undefeated streak alive at home vs. Sporting. SKC has won once all-time in Seattle – a 1-0 victory in 2009 in the first meeting ever between the clubs. Since, Sounders FC have won three of their home meetings, with a pair of draws.

Coaches record: Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P44 W20 L16 D8 … Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P11 W1 L7 D3 SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC have never failed to reach the MLS Cup Playoffs in their seven seasons in Major League Soccer, but were again held short of the title match in 2015, falling at the quarterfinal stage. Sounders FC finished in fourth place in the Western Conference, recording 51 points, again led by Sigi Schmid, the only head coach the club has known in its MLS history.

TEAM NEWS Sounders FC were eliminated from the CONCACAF Champions League at the quarterfinal stage, falling 3-1 to Club América in the second leg Wednesday at Estadio Azteca, dropping the tie 5-3 on aggregate.

Here’s the Sounders FC team: Stefan Frei; Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans, Chad Marshall, Joevin Jones; Erik Friberg (Darwin Jones 75’), Osvaldo Alonso, Andreas Ivanschitz (Cristian Roldan 70’); Jordan Morris (Aaron Kovar 70’), Nelson Valdez, Clint Dempsey The lone Sounders FC goal came on a first-half own goal, putting the MLS side ahead on aggregate. But América got a flurry of goals on either side of halftime from Carlos Quintero (42), Oribe Peralta (46+) and Andres Andrade (50) to put away the match.

“We had three leads,” Schmid said. “And our leads have lasted like three minutes. ... For 41 minutes, we did what we wanted to do. We looked for situations to counter, we knew we’d have to dodge a few bullets, and we’d have to defend well. I thought we did that, but we needed to give ourselves the opportunity by going into halftime with the lead.”

In the first leg, Clint Dempsey scored a pair of goals – both from set pieces – but Sounders FC were twice hauled back by Club América before the teams settled for a 2-2 draw Feb. 23 at CenturyLink Field. Dempsey netted just before halftime from a screaming free kick, but Carlos Quintero pulled América barely a minute later.

Then Dempsey headed home a corner kick in the 52nd minute, but Oribe Peralta scored in the 70th minute to give América the road result.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

Here’s the Sounders FC team: Stefan Frei; Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans – captain, Chad Marshall, Joevin Jones; Erik Friberg (Cristian Roldan 74’), Osvaldo Alonso, Andreas Ivanschitz; Jordan Morris (Darwin Jones 85’), Nelson Valdez (Aaron Kovar 74’), Clint Dempsey The CONCACAF Champions League matches were the first competitive matches of the new year for Sounders FC, as Schmid ran out his side in a 4-3-3 tactical scheme.

Before beginning their CONCACAF Champions League trials, Sounders FC faced three MLS clubs in preseason matches, ending with a 4-0 win against the LA Galaxy in a closed-door match at StubHub Center.

The preseason also included 2-1 losses to both Cascadia rivals, Portland Timbers and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, both matches in Arizona in early February.

In MLS league and cup play, Sounders FC are unbeaten in seven consecutive MLS home matches (6-0-1).

Seattle holds a 17-7 goal advantage during the stretch.

Peter Vermes is back in charge for a seventh consecutive full season after taking over midseason in 2009, leading the club to 51 points and a fourth-place finish in the Western Conference in 2016, where they returned after 10 seasons in the East.

TEAM NEWS Sporting KC concluded their six-game preseason schedule undefeated, ending the run with a 2-2 draw with the Houston Dynamo in the final match of the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Ariz. Newcomers Nuno Andre Coelho and Daniel Salloi netted goals for SKC. Here’s the Sporting team: Tim Melia; Chance Myers (Saad Abdul 60), Nuno Coelho (Kevin Ellis 60), Matt Besler, Amadou Dia; Jordi Quintilla (Lawrence Olum 78), Paulo Nagamura (Soni Mustivar 46), Roger Espinoza, Daniel Salloi; Dom Dwyer (Will Little 60), Connor Hallisey Sporting finished the competition with a win and three draws – all against MLS teams. They drew with Columbus Crew SC (2-2) and the New England Revolution (1-1), before defeating the Colorado Rapids 4-1.

Sporting scored 13 goals in their six preseason matches, which also included a 4-0 win against FC Tucson and a scoreless draw with Korean outfit Seongnam FC. Sporting picked up a pair of veteran attacking players during the offseason, signing Justin Mapp (last with Montréal) through free agency, and acquiring Brad Davis in a trade with the Houston Dynamo.

“It really doesn't matter until the league starts. I think we have more than enough attacking players right now.

As I said before, we're looking at another one. It's just that what day that trigger gets pulled and that gets sorted out is really the hangup at the moment, but we'll add one more. But I feel good about the players that we have,” Vermes said.

Sporting KC won just once in their last seven road games of the 2015 MLS regular season (1-5-1). SKC managed to score just five total goals during the seven-game road stretch.

Seattle Sounders FC competed in the second leg of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League’s Knockout Round on Wednesday evening, falling 3-1 to defending champion Club America at Estadio Azteca. An America own goal briefly put Seattle in position to secure advancement, but the host side responded with two quick strikes on the brink of halftime.

Seattle Sounders FC announced on March 1 the signing of St. Vincent and the Grenadines international Oalex Anderson. The 20year-old spent the 2015 season with Sounders FC 2 in the club’s inaugural USL campaign, scoring four goals in 16 appearances. Anderson joins fellow forward Andy Craven as the second player to make the jump from S2 to the Sounders FC First Team roster.

Featuring the same starting lineup as the first leg at CenturyLink Field, Sounders FC kept Club America at bay for the vast majority of the first half. Fortune fell in the Rave Green’s favor in the 41st minute, when Osvaldo Alonso’s cross deflected off America’s Pablo Aguilar and rolled into the net for a 1-0 Seattle lead.

Anderson started seven of 16 appearances for Sounders FC 2 during the 2015 USL season after signing on April 11. The speedy striker scored four goals in just 758 minutes, as the Rave Green notched a postseason appearance in their inaugural campaign.

Prior to joining Seattle, Anderson scored 12 goals in 18 appearances for Grenades FC in the 2014 season playing in Antigua and Barbuda. Prior to that, he was the top scorer in the NLA Premier League in 2013 while playing with System 3 FC in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.

In similar fashion to last Tuesday’s contest, America responded quickly to Seattle’s goal on a brisk counterattack to equalize at 1-1 in the 42nd minute. Midfielder Rubens Sambueza connected with forward Darwin Quintero, who sent the game-tying header into the net from close range. Just minutes later, America took the lead on a header by Oribe Peralta on another cross by Sambueza.

The host side extended the lead to 3-1 in the 50th minute, when Andres Andrade received a pass from Paul Aguilar and finished a wide-open shot from just inside Seattle’s area.

SoundersFC.com/Media

Anderson has 20 caps for the St. Vincent and the Grenadines National Team since his debut in February of 2014, scoring 10 international goals. He found the net against the U.S. Men’s National Team for an opening strike five minutes into the match in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier in November at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, but the Vincy Heat lost the contest 6-1.

O CKF O RD L O ANED, SCHW EI T Z ER TO S2 Sounders FC announced on March 1 that it has loaned defender Jimmy Ockford to NASL side New York Cosmos, while Homegrown Player Jordan Schweitzer has been waived by the First Team and subsequently added to S2’s roster for 2016.

A third-year pro with the Rave Green, Ockford previously spent the 2014 season on loan with the Cosmos, scoring two goals in 10 regular season appearances for the club, adding an additional strike in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play.

Schweitzer was signed by Sounders FC on January 7, 2016 after a standout collegiate career at the University of Denver. After being waived by the First Team, the Sounders FC Homegrown Player has been added to S2’s 2016 roster.

Schweitzer joins midfielders Carlos Patino and Amadou Sanyang, in addition to forward Myron Samuel, as the signed players to the S2 roster.

T HRO W BACK:03/ 08/ 2014 In the first match of an impressive campaign in which Sounders FC would record 20 wins and a Supporters’ Shield trophy, the Rave Green topped Sporting KC 1-0 on a late goal by Chad Barrett. In his team debut, Barrett came onto the pitch for Kenny Cooper in the 78th minute, before netting the match’s lone score four minutes into second half stoppage-time.

Leading-up to the goal, Clint Dempsey’s header from Homegrown Player Sean Okoli struck the crossbar, which was then retrieved

by Barrett who scored on the follow-up. It marked the fourth time in the past five matchups that Sounders FC defeated Sporting KC on a winner in stoppage time.

SOUNDERS FC VS. SPORTING KANSAS CITY | MARCH 6, 2016 - 4:00 P.M. PT SO UNDERS F C HI STO RY HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID Named the first Head Coach of Seattle Sounders FC on December 16, 2008, Sigi Schmid is the winningest coach in MLS history.

Since 1999, Schmid’s teams have won nine major titles, including two MLS Cups.

A two-time MLS Coach of the Year, Schmid has led Sounders FC to seven-consecutive appearances in the MLS Cup Playoffs, marking the second-longest active streak while nearing the record for most consecutive postseason appearances by an expansion team.

Schmid also guided Sounders FC to a record three-straight Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles, becoming the first team in 42 years to win back-to-back championships.

Schmid joined Sounders FC in its inaugural campaign after leading the Columbus Crew to its first MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, earning MLS Coach of the Year honors in 2008. From 1999 through 2004, Schmid’s L.A. Galaxy teams won four major competitions: the 2002 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, the 2001 U.S. Open Cup and the 2001 CONCACAF Champions Cup. He was voted the MLS Coach of the Year in his first season, 1999. Altogether, his Galaxy teams were 79-53-32 and reached the MLS Cup final four times, winning three division crowns.

Schmid has twice served as the U.S. U-20 National Team head coach, most recently in 2005 at the FIFA World Championships.

Schmid first forged a winning tradition at his alma mater, UCLA. After serving as an assistant, he was elevated to head coach of the Bruins in 1980, beginning a 19-year run at the helm. He claimed three national titles (1985, 1990, 1997) and was named national coach of the year following the 1997 championship. His UCLA teams accumulated a record of 322-63-33. Schmid ranks No. 1 in MLS career victories (222) and games coached (485).

Overall, Schmid’s record in MLS is 222-153-111. His combined postseason win total (26) is the second-highest in MLS history.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 6, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SEAvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

SPORTING KC PRESEASON STATISTICS

Sporting KC has a 2-7-3 all-time regular season record against Seattle — including a 1-3-2 mark at CenturyLink Field with the lone win coming in the first-ever meeting between the sides on April 11, 2009. Kansas City’s .291 winning percentage vs. Seattle is their lowest against any MLS opponent (minimum two games played).

Sounders FC have a history of leaving it late against Sporting KC, scoring eight of their 13 goals in the series after the 75th minute. In 10 meetings since 2010, Seattle has scored five game-winning goals in second half stoppage time.

The regular season series has been characterized by closely fought, lowscoring battles. Neither side has won by more than one goal in all 12 regular season meetings. In those 12 games, the clubs have combined for more than three goals just once (Oct. 17, 2009), while four of the last five matches have produced one goal or less. Sporting KC has just one goal from the run of play against Seattle in 442 regular season minutes dating back to 2012 and has scored just twice in six games at CenturyLink Field. Conversely, Sounders FC managed just one goal in three meetings last season.

Sporting KC and Seattle are two of three franchises, along with the LA Galaxy, to win multiple major trophies since 2011 (among MLS Cup, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and MLS Supporters’ Shield). Sporting KC has lifted 2012 and 2015 Open Cup titles in addition to winning the 2013 MLS Cup. The Sounders were 2011 and 2014 Open Cup champions in addition to winning the 2014 Supporters’ Shield. The two sides have combined to win six of the last seven Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles dating back to 2009. #SKCvSEA Regular Season Meetings

Sporting KC finished its 2016 preseason unbeaten in six games at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson, Arizona. The club opened with a pair of scrimmages on Jan. 30 and Feb. 7 before competing in the Desert Diamond Cup from Feb. 17-27.

Sporting KC went unbeaten in four regular season trips to the Pacific Northwest in 2015, finishing 2-0-2 with shutouts in every match.

Goalkeeper Tim Melia made 20 saves across the four fixtures, including a career-high seven at Portland on Sept. 9.

Veteran midfielder Benny Feilhaber is coming off a career-best campaign in 2015. Last year he set a Sporting KC record with 20 assists in all competitions, while his 32 combined goals and assists in all competitions were second most in team history behind Preki (36 in 1996). His season culminated in Sporting KC MVP honors as well as an MLS MVP nomination alongside winner Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto) and former teammate Kei Kamara (Columbus).

Feilhaber set MLS career-highs with 10 goals and 15 assists during the regular season, becoming the third player in club history to reach double digits in both categories (Josh Wolff, Preki). He also recorded five assists in Sporting KC’s run to the U.S. Open Cup title, taking just one year to become the club’s all-time assist leader in the tournament.

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

CAPTAIN MATT A MAINSTAY IN DEFENSE

When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005.

Sporting KC’s captain since the start of 2014, Matt Besler ranks seventh in Sporting KC history with 219 games played in all competitions. He is 11 appearances shy of tying Jimmy Conrad for sixth, 16 shy of tying Chris Klein for fifth, and 35 shy of tying Preki for fourth. The Kansas native has logged at least 30 games in six of his seven seasons with Sporting KC since being taken in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft.

MLS Cup (2013), Open Cup (2012, 2015) Open Cup (2009, 2010, 2011, 2014), Supporters’ Shield (2014) Open Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2006, 2007) MLS Cup (2011, 2012, 2014), Supporters Shield (2010, 2011) MLS Cup (2008), Supporters’ Shield (2008, 2009)

Besler is a four-time MLS All-Star (2011, 2013-15) and has twice been named to the MLS Best XI (2012-13) to go along with an MLS Defender of the Year honor in 2012. He logged 38 appearances for Sporting KC in 2015, leading MLS in clearances while adding a career-best four assists in all competitions. The 29-year-old was named an MLS All-Star for the fourth time and shared Sporting KC Defensive Player of the Year honors with Soni Mustivar.

STRONG STARTERS

Since the league’s inception in 1996, no MLS team has more season-opening wins than Sporting KC’s 12. The club is 12-5-3 in season openers all-time, with its most recent opening-day loss coming at Seattle on March 8, 2014. Sporting KC also boasts a strong record in home openers, going 12-2-6 all-time in those matches.

FROM FOES TO FRIENDS

No active MLS players have faced Sporting KC on more occasions in the regular season than Brad Davis (31) and Justin Mapp (30). Coincidentally, both veterans joined Sporting KC this offseason, transitioning from long-time foes to welcome midfield additions in Kansas City.

HOME SWEET HOME

Since opening in 2011, state-of-the-art Children’s Mercy Park has served as a fortress for Sporting KC. The club is 61-21-28 in competitive matches at the stadium, including penalty shootout victories in the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and 2013 MLS Cup (recorded as draws).

Davis has recorded 58 goals and 131 assists (including postseason) during a 14year MLS career highlighted by 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup championships, 2011 MLS Best XI honors and six MLS All-Star selections. His 368 appearances and 122 assists in the regular season are both third most in MLS history. A native of Missouri, Davis ended his 10-year stay in Houston as the Dynamo’s all-time leader in regular season games played (271), starts (252) and assists (104). In addition to winning two MLS Cups, Davis led Houston to seven playoff trips from 2006-2015, including MLS Cup appearances in 2006, 2007, 2011 and 2012.

Peter Vermes’ men were particularly tough to beat at home in 2015, setting club records with a nine-game home winning streak (May 3 – July 21) and a 16-game home unbeaten streak (March 8 – Aug. 15) in all competitions.

Sporting KC ended the 2015 campaign with a 14-2-5 home record, including four wins en route to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final. Sporting KC’s 14 total home wins last year tied the club record previously set in 2000, 2004 and 2012 — continuing a trend that saw the club win a major trophy in each of those seasons. The team also scored 42 times (all competitions) at Children’s Mercy Park, the most on home soil since 1996.

Davis, 34, leads active MLS players with 122 regular season assists, 45 more than any other player. The left-footed midfielder has reached double figures in assists in six of the last seven seasons since 2009 and seven times overall, a feat matched only by Landon Donovan.

Children’s Mercy Hospital received naming rights to Children’s Mercy Park in November 2015 as part of a youth health and pediatric sports medicine partnership with Sporting KC that lasts through 2025.

In December, Mapp became the first Free Agent signing in Major League Soccer history after the League introduced free agency in the new Collective Bargaining Agreement in early 2015. The 31-year-old has recorded 23 goals and 70 assists in 318 MLS appearances (including postseason) since being drafted fourth overall in the 2002 MLS SuperDraft. His 65 regular season assists rank third among active players in MLS.

70 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING

Children’s Mercy Park has sold out 70 consecutive MLS matches dating back to April 2012 (including four playoff games) and 82 of 91 league matches since opening in 2011. The 18,467-seat venue and has averaged 105 percent capacity over the last five MLS seasons, drawing 19,396 fans per game.

Mapp spent his rookie campaign at D.C. United before joining the Chicago Fire, where he helped the club reach the playoffs six times between 2003-2010. He left Chicago in July 2010, having won two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups (2003, 2006) and a Supporters’ Shield title (2003) to go with MLS All-Star (2005) and MLS Best XI (2006) honors. Mapp has spent each of the last four years with the Montreal Impact, where he currently ranks second in club history with 21 MLS assists and fifth with 82 regular season appearances. In 2013 and 2014, Mapp tied MLS career-highs with eight assists and helped Montreal win consecutive Amway Canadian Championship titles, landing tournament MVP honors both times. He was an inactive MLS All-Star in 2013 as Montreal made its first ever appearance in the MLS Cup Playoffs.

DWYER CLIMBING GOAL CHARTS

Sporting KC forward Dom Dwyer ranks third in MLS with 34 regular season goals over the last two seasons, behind New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips (44) and LA’s Robbie Keane (39). Dwyer’s 34 goals since 2014 are the most over a two-year span in Sporting KC regular season history. A first-round selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, Dwyer ranks fourth in Sporting KC history with 45 goals across all competitions. If he scores at least eight more goals in 2016, he will pass Josh Wolff (46) and Davy Arnaud (52) into sole possession of second place behind Preki (81). Dwyer is currently sixth on Sporting KC’s regular season goals chart with 36, well within distance of Kei Kamara (38), Chris Klein (39), Josh Wolff (43) and Davy Arnaud (43). Preki is the club’s all-time leader with 71 regular season goals.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 6, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes MUSTIVAR BACK IN MIDFIELD

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) DEFENDING THE OPEN CUP

Sporting KC signed Soni Mustivar to a new contract in January, bringing back one of the club’s best performers of 2015. Mustivar’s first season at Sporting Kansas City culminated in 2015 Co-Defender of the Year honors. The defensive midfielder had a 15-5-6 record as a starter in all competitions and led Major League Soccer during the regular season with more than six interceptions per 90 minutes played.

Sporting KC enters the 2016 season as defending champions of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Peter Vermes’ side defeated the Philadelphia Union in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw through regulation to win the 2015 final at PPL Park on Sept. 30, effectively securing a spot in the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League.

The Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup has been held annually since 1914 and is open to all amateur/professional soccer teams affiliated with U.S. Soccer. The knockout-style tournament is the oldest ongoing national soccer competition in the U.S. and the world’s third-longest running open soccer tournament.

This year’s winner will earn $250,000 and a berth into the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League.

A native of Paris suburb Aubervilliers, France, Mustivar made 25 MLS appearances last season and started all five matches in Sporting Kansas City’s run to the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title. He set an MLS record during the Opta era (2011-present) with 20 interceptions in a 1-0 win at Vancouver Whitecaps FC on July 12 and tallied the first two assists of his MLS career in a 4-3 comeback win over Vancouver on Aug. 15. The 26-year-old’s first goal for the club came in a U.S. Open Cup semifinal victory over Real Salt Lake.

Sporting KC has won the tournament on three occasions (2004, 2012, 2015), third-most among MLS clubs behind Seattle and Chicago who have four titles apiece. All 17 American MLS clubs will enter the 2016 Open Cup in the round of 32 in June. Sporting KC and Seattle have combined to win six of the last seven tournaments since 2009.

Mustivar has earned nine caps for the Haiti Men’s National Team, recently starting in a January playoff match as Haiti defeated Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 to qualify for the 2016 Centennial Copa America, to be held in the United States from June 3-26.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ON THE HORIZON

TIM TERRIFIC IN 2015

Courtesy of the club’s 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship, Sporting KC will compete in the group stage of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League, set to begin in August. 2016 marks the third time in four years that Sporting KC has featured in the international competition, which involves the top clubs from North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The tournament winner will qualify as CONCACAF’s representative at the 2017 FIFA Club World Cup.

In his first season with Sporting KC last year, goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a breakout season that culminated in MLS Comeback Player of the Year honors.

He ended 2015 with a 15-8-5 record in all competitions and made two saves in a penalty shootout win over the Philadelphia Union in the 2015 U.S. Open Cup Final. Melia finished third among goalkeepers with a 72.6 save percentage while also ranking in the top 10 in wins (11), shutouts (8) and goals against average (1.22).

In the 2013-14 edition of the tournament, Sporting KC won its group (fall 2013) and advanced to the quarterfinals (March 2014) before falling to eventual champion Cruz Azul of Mexico. Peter Vermes’ side won the first leg 1-0 at Children’s Mercy Park but fell 5-1 in the return trip to Mexico City a week later.

Sporting KC failed to progress to the knockout rounds in 2014-15, losing 2-0 at Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa on the final match day of the group stage in October 2014.

Melia, 29, made the most of his starting role in 2015 after previously backing up MLS All-Stars Nick Rimando at Real Salt Lake and Dan Kennedy at Chivas USA. He did not appear in any regular season matches for Real Salt Lake from 2010-11 and started five games for Chivas USA from 2012-2014. He was waived

by Chivas USA in July 2014 and served as a League Pool Goalkeeper during the latter half of the year, receiving emergency call-ups from Sporting KC (August), FC Dallas (October) and D.C. United (November).

PETER THE GREAT

CANADIAN CLUBS AWAIT

Last season Peter Vermes became the winningest coach in Sporting KC history, ending 2015 with 90 regular season wins and 113 victories across all competitions (113-79-61 overall). He entered the year trailing Bob Gansler in both categories. Vermes has coached 253 matches in Kansas City across all competitions, 17 shy of tying Gansler’s 270-game record.

Following an opening-day tilt with Seattle at CenturyLink Field, Sporting KC will return home for two MLS matches before the late-March FIFA window. First up is a date with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on March 12. Sporting KC is 4-1-2 all-time against Vancouver, including a remarkable 4-3 triumph last August at Children’s Mercy Park in which the hosts erased a 3-1 deficit in the final 10 minutes plus stoppage time.

Vermes’ 90 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (222), Bruce Arena (190) and Dominic Kinnear (152). Now entering his eighth MLS season, Vermes ties Bob Gansler (1999-2006) as the club’s longest-tenured manager.

On March 20, Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley and reigning MLS MVP Sebastian Giovinco will try to snap Toronto FC’s seven-game winless run in Kansas City (0-6-1). Sporting KC’s 13-4-5 regular season record against Toronto is their best against any MLS opponent (minimum 10 games), while Toronto’s 13 losses to Sporting KC are the most against any league foe in the club’s nine-year history.

Sporting KC has fared historically well against Canadian opposition, going 23-8-8 against MLS’s three Canadian teams (regular season). Their 23 combined wins against Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are the most among American MLS clubs.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | March 6, 2016 at Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | 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 enters his eighth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is tied as the team’s longest-serving manager and his 113 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups 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 five 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 90 regular season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth 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. 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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Academy. 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.

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.

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 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 Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

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.

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.

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.

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 was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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 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.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

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.

Mateus Manoel is in his seventh season with Sporting KC as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

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

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Manoel holds a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.
