Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. VAN: P7 W4 L1 D2… Carl Robinson vs. KC: P3 W1 L2 D0 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City opened their 2016 season with a quality result on the road, defeating Seattle Sounders FC 1-0 on Sunday evening at CenturyLink Field. Sporting are in a tie for first place in the Western Conference with 3 points from 1 game.

LAST MATCH Sounders FC went a man down four minutes before the halftime break when Oniel Fisher was sent off with a straight red card by referee Alan Kelly.

Sporting finally broke through with 17 minutes remaining, when Nuno Andre Coelho punched in a shot from well outside the box, short-hopping Seattle 'keeper Stefan Frei, who failed to block it as he dove to stop the shot.

Sporting manager Peter Vermes ran out one newcomer to kick off the new season, with Nuno Andre Coelho put into central defense.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers, Nuno Andre Coelho, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Jordi Quintilla, Roger Espinoza - Connor Hallisey (Jimmy Medranda 82), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

TEAM NEWS The opening match result reversed a 1-0 loss at Seattle to start last season, and was the fifth victory in the last six years to start the season for Sporting. It was the first victory for Kansas City in Seattle since the 2009 season.

“Any time you're able to record a shutout and get three points on the road, it's a huge victory for sure. We've played here plenty of times, and they've always found a way to get a goal late against us and in this situation I thought we were very well organized and really well-disciplined in the game. I think that was a big help to why we got the result,” said Sporting manager Peter Vermes.

New signing Nuno Andre Coelho was the only newcomer to the club to feature in the season opener, celebrating his MLS debut with his first league goal.

“Nuno has a very good quality of going forward. He just has a really good quality of how to move forward with the ball, and he sees the game and reads the game really well. And the other thing is he's a very good shot

MLS GAME INFORMATION

from a distance. So I'm happy for him,” said Vermes. “It's a good start for him. He's been really good in preseason and more importantly he had a very good game tonight.”

Goalkeeper Tim Melia was credited with two saves in recording the shutout. Melia had eight shutouts in 23 starts between the posts for SKC last season.

“I thought he had some very good reaction saves, and he was explosive like he normally is. I think as a team we can be a little bit better about how we manage the game at certain points, and that includes him and how we come out with the ball as a group,” Vermes said. “But in regards to shots stopped and things like that, I think he was very, very good.”

Vermes gave starts to Connor Hallisey, who made six starts in his rookie season last year, and Amadou Dia, who made 13 in his first MLS campaign a year ago.

“It's hard to tell what the starting team is. I'm not trying to be coy here, but there are a lot of players, and when guys are healthy, they're competing. So the nice thing is that when you like at a guy like [Amadou Dia] and you look at a guy like Hallisey, these guys both had time last year and obviously that's paying dividends for them at the moment, being able to start this game and play to a really good level. Both guys were very focused on the organization and discipline that we preached all week long trying to get ready for the game,” Vermes said.

Sporting were without a trio of influential veterans in Brad Davis, Benny Feilhaber and Seth Sinovic, all unavailable to injury.

“They're minor, but they're the ones that can become long-term if you don't give them the time that they need to get better, and the time is not four weeks. If you push them they could become four to six weeks, and that's what we don't want to do,” said Vermes. “So we want to make sure those guys are healthy, ready to go and fit.

So until they're ready there's nothing else to really have a discussion about.”

VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC Vancouver Whitecaps FC suffered a home defeat to kick off their new campaign, falling 3-2 to the Montréal Impact on Sunday afternoon at BC Place. Whitecaps FC are in a tie for seventh place in the Western Conference with 0 points from 1 game.

LAST MATCH The Impact took the lead in the 19th minute when Ignacio Piatti played a one-two with Harry Shipp, then beat three opponents before slamming the ball home to goalkeeper David Ousted’s left. The Impact second came in the 42nd minute when Dominic Oduro raced onto a Piatti pass behind the defense and took advantage of the confusion between Whitecaps defenders to simply tap the ball into an empty net.

The Caps cut the lead in the 45th minute when defender Jordan Harvey darted in at the far post to redirect a Pedro Morales dead-ball service into the goal.

But the Impact sealed the result two minutes from time when Oduro placed a diagonal pass into the path of Piatti on the counter, and he took a couple of touches before finishing low into the side netting. Vancouver's Kendall Waston scored a consolation goal in second-half stoppage time, heading home a Christian Bolaños corner kick.

Whitecaps FC boss Carl Robinson gave new signing Christian Bolanos the start in a wide right-sided role, while Fraser Aird was slotted into the back four on the right.

VANCOUVER WHITECAPS FC (4-2-3-1): David Ousted - Fraser Aird, Kendall Waston, Tim Parker, Jordan Harvey - Kianz Froese (Blas Perez 66), Matias Laba - Christian Bolanos, Pedro Morales, Cristian Techera (Kekuta Manneh 61) - Octavio Rivero (Masato Kudo 81).

TEAM NEWS Whitecaps FC suffered a second consecutive defeat in their season opener at home to a Canadian club, after falling 3-1 to Toronto FC to start 2015. Whitecaps FC had won the first four season openers in the club’s MLS history.

“When you lose at home it always hurts,” head coach Carl Robinson said. "It's not nice when you lose games of football. We gifted Montreal the win today. That's an honest assessment. If you score two goals at home and give three bad ones away, you don't win games.”

Whitecaps FC took 21 total attempts at goal, 10 of those on target – tied for the second-most in a game in the club’s MLS history (11, June 1, 2014 at Portland).

Two newcomers to the club were given runouts to start the season, with Fraser Aird slotted in at right back and Christian Bolaños in a wide right midfield role. Kianz Froese started in the midfield, making his second career MLS start.

“I thought [Froese] did well today. He should be proud of his first home start here in the league. He should be proud of that. Based upon preseason, I thought he had the energy and in his preseason performances, I think he deserved the nod,” Robinson said. “I told you all along, we’re going to try and develop our young players. He got the chance today and he didn’t let himself down.”

Both goals came from defenders on set pieces, with Jordan Harvey tapping home a free kick service and Kendall Waston nodding home from a corner kick. Whitecaps FC scored nine goals from set pieces in 2015.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

Octavio Rivero was credited with six attempts at goals – four of those on target, matching his MLS career-best – but was not able to find the back of the net.

“I thought he played very well. But he didn’t score a goal, the keep made some good saves. He hit the crossbar; sometimes that happens. If he wasn’t getting into the area to create the chances and be there, then I’d have the concern,” said Robinson. “But I have no concerns about Octavio. Obviously, he would have liked to put one away for himself. In the last two games of preseason, he did.”

Kekuta Manneh came off the substitutes’ bench in the opener, playing the final half-hour, while Masato Kudo made his MLS debut in coming on for the final nine minutes.

“I think Kekuta is one of a number of guys that we have got that aren’t up to full speed at the moment. So we have to continue working with it,” Robinson said. “It’s a long season, we know that. If you try and rush him back and he’s out for 3, 4, 5 months, then it’s a stupid decision. And we don’t make stupid decisions here in this club.

We’ll be patient with him.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 12, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvVAN: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvVAN: BY THE NUMBERS

Two teams who qualified for the 2015 postseason go head-to-head Saturday when Sporting KC (1-0-0, 3 points) hosts Vancouver Whitecaps FC (0-1-0, 0 points) at newly-named Children’s Mercy Park. The clubs enter Week 2 after experiencing opposite results on Sunday’s opening day. Sporting KC went on the road and snatched a 1-0 win against Seattle Sounders FC, while Vancouver fell 3-2 at home to the Montreal Impact.

Sporting KC holds the upper hand in the regular season series with a 4-1-2 record and a 2-0-1 mark at Children’s Mercy Park. Peter Vermes’ men swept the 2015 set with a pair of one-goal wins that came in dissimilar fashion.

Sporting KC scrapped out a 1-0 road result on July 12, receiving a headed goal from Kevin Ellis shortly after halftime to break the deadlock. Soni Mustivar made 20 interceptions en route to setting a single-game Opta-era record (2011-present).

The second meeting proved to be one of Major League Soccer’s best matches of 2015. Kekuta Manneh bagged a first-half brace to put Vancouver up 2-0 at the break. Ellis notched a goal in the 53rd minute, but substitute Pedro Morales’ sublime free kick in the 75th minute appeared to have condemned the hosts to defeat. The ensuing comeback matched a feat that had been done just one other time in MLS history. Sporting KC reversed a twogoal deficit in the final 10 minutes plus stoppage time to post a remarkable 4-3 victory in front of its home fans. Dom Dwyer began the fightback with a header in the 81st minute. That set the stage for veteran Paulo Nagamura, who scored in the 87th and 94th minutes for just the second multi-goal match of his 259-game MLS career.

Vancouver’s lone victory in the series came on Aug. 10, 2014, at BC Place.

An own goal from Igor Juliao and a Darren Mattocks strike assisted by Pedro Morales sealed the outcome before halftime. This was also Sporting KC’s last defeat to a Cascadia club (5-0-4 since then with seven shutouts).

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 12, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES SPORTING KC BEATS SEATTLE 1-0 TO OPEN 2016 SEASON DREAM DEBUT FOR NUNO Defender Nuno Andre Coelho scored in his Major League Soccer debut on Sunday as Sporting KC opened the 2016 MLS season with a 1-0 road victory over Seattle Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field.

Thanks in part to a sound performance from newly acquired center back Nuno Andre Coelho, Sporting KC emerged from CenturyLink Field on Sunday with three points and its first victory in Seattle since 2009. The 2016 season opener saw Coelho score on his MLS debut, firing a 30-yard attempt that skipped across the wet surface and under the mitts of Sounders keeper Stefan Frei. The 6-foot-4 defender landed Goal.com Team of the Week recognition while also connecting on 79 of his 88 passes.

A 30-yard strike from the Portuguese center back in the 73rd minute gave Sporting KC its first win in Seattle since 2009 and extended the club’s unbeaten streak against Sounders FC to four matches. Goalkeeper Tim Melia was forced to make just two saves on Sunday, but both were of the spectacular variety as Sporting KC emerged with three points on an MLS opening day in which all 20 teams kicked off their respective campaigns.

A native of Penafiel, Portugal, Coelho has played more than 160 matches during a 12-year professional career in Europe, including seven appearances in the UEFA Champions League with Portuguese clubs SC Braga and FC Porto. He most recently played for Balikesirspor of the Turkish Super Lig during the 2014-15 season. He signed for Sporting KC in January to bring another defensive option for a back line that has lost center back Ike Opara to long-term injuries in each of the last two seasons.

CONQUERING CASCADIA

Sporting KC opened the 2016 season on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Sounders FC at CenturyLink Field thanks to a 30-pass sequence that culminated in a 30-yard strike from MLS debutant Nuno Andre Coelho. In addition to notching their first victory at Seattle since 2009, Peter Vermes’ men went into the history books as the first MLS team to go unbeaten in five straight regular season road games against Cascadia foes (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver).

STRONG STARTERS

Since the league’s inception in 1996, no MLS team has more season-opening wins than Sporting KC’s 13. The club is 13-5-3 in season openers all-time, with its most recent opening-day victory coming Sunday at Seattle.

Remarkably, Sporting KC has earned a shutout in every match during the streak.

The run is made impressive by the fact that visiting teams emerge with an away win against Cascadia foes less than 22 percent of the time (63-150-75 record).

Sporting KC’s 29 road regular season victories since 2012 are eight more than any other team.

May 23, 2015 July 12, 2015 Sept. 9, 2015 Oct. 3, 2015 March 6, 2016

at Seattle at Vancouver at Portland at Portland at Seattle

Sporting KC also boasts a strong record in home openers, going 12-2-6 all-time in those matches. The lone losses among Kansas City’s 20 home openers came in 1999 (a 3-0 defeat to the Chicago Fire) and 2009 (a 3-2 setback to Toronto).

DWYER CLIMBING GOAL CHARTS

T 0-0 W 1-0 T 0-0 W 1-0 W 1-0

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 (40). Dwyer’s 34 goals from 2014-2015 were 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.

Throw in the last four visits from Cascadia clubs to Children’s Mercy Park, and Sporting KC is 5-0-4 with seven shutouts against the trio since the start of 2014.

March 21, 2015 June 6, 2015 Aug. 15, 2015 Sept. 27, 2015

vs. Portland vs. Seattle vs. Vancouver vs. Seattle

If Dwyer 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.

CONQUERING CANADA

CAPTAIN MATT A MAINSTAY IN DEFENSE

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.

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.

Sporting KC will host two Canadian sides in regular season play before the late-March FIFA window. First up is a date with Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday. 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’s captain since the start of 2014, Matt Besler ranks seventh in Sporting KC history with 220 games played in all competitions. He is 10 appearances shy of tying Jimmy Conrad for sixth, 15 shy of tying Chris Klein for fifth, and 34 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.

HOME SWEET HOME

Besler opened 2016 with a solid outing at Seattle, making eight clearances and two interceptions while anchoring a defense that earned a clean sheet and allowed just one shot on goal from the run of play. His performance landed him a Team of the Week nod on Bleacher Report and NBC Pro Soccer Talk.

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).

SPORTING KC ACQUIRES YOUNG DP DIEGO RUBIO

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.

Sporting KC announced Tuesday that the club has acquired 22-year-old Chilean striker Diego Rubio on a loan as a Young Designated Player. Rubio will occupy an international spot on Sporting KCs roster pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and P-1 Visa.

Rubio has recorded 37 goals and 15 assists during a five-year professional career in South America and Europe. The forward joins Sporting Kansas City from Real Valladolid of the Spanish Segunda Division, where he made 14 appearances during the 2015-16 season. A native of Santiago, Chile, Rubio played for 18-time Primeira Liga champion Sporting Clube de Portugal from 2011-2015, scoring 22 goals in 52 games for the club’s reserve team Sporting B. He also made 20 senior team appearances, including six in the 2011-12 UEFA Europa League as he helped the club advance to the tournament semifinals.

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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 12, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes 70 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

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.

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.

MELIA OFF TO STRONG START

Goalkeeper Tim Melia made two brilliant saves on Sunday to preserve Sporting KC’s shutout in a 1-0 win at Seattle. His first stop in the 15th minute -- a sprawling effort to deny Clint Dempsey’s free kick from finding the top corner -- was a finalist for MLS Save of the Week. He was forced into action again in the 53rd minute, diving to parry a long-range blast from Andreas Ivanschitz onto the crossbar. Melia’s performance earned him Team of the Week honors on Bleacher Report.

DEFENDING THE OPEN CUP

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.

In his first season with Sporting KC last year, 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).

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.

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).

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.

FEILHABER FRESH OFF BANNER YEAR

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).

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ON THE HORIZON

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.

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.

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.

MUSTIVAR BACK IN MIDFIELD

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.

PETER THE GREAT

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. He entered the year trailing Bob Gansler in both categories.

Vermes has coached 254 matches in Kansas City across all competitions with a 114-79-61 record, 16 games shy of tying Gansler’s 270-game record.

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.

Vermes’ 91 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (222), Bruce Arena (191) and Dominic Kinnear (153). Now entering his eighth MLS season, Vermes ties Bob Gansler (1999-2006) as the club’s longest-tenured manager.

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.

SIDE NOTES FROM LAST WEEKEND’S WIN IN SEATTLE

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 12, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES (CONTINUED) 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 the club this offseason, transitioning from long-time foes to welcome midfield additions in Kansas City. Both are in contention for their Sporting KC debuts on Saturday.

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.

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.

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. 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.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | March 12, 2016 vs. Vancouver Whitecaps 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 2016. He is tied as the team’s longest-serving manager and his 114 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 91 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.

Sporting Kansas City vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC

ABOUT WHITECAPS FC In 1974, Vancouver Whitecaps FC played their inaugural season in the North American Soccer League, and in 1979, the club won the NASL Soccer Bowl championship. Following the demise of the NASL in 1984, Vancouver 86ers were founded in 1986, and from 1987 to 1992, the club won four Canadian Soccer League titles. In 1993, Vancouver joined the North American second division after the disbandment of the CSL. In 2001, the club reverted to the Whitecaps and the following season added FC to their official name, while creating a full club model that including an extensive youth development and grassroots participation programs, facility development, and community relations to support specific initiatives related to health and wellness through soccer.

Whitecaps FC were the 17th club admitted to MLS on March 18, 2009, and on March 19, 2011, Vancouver kicked off their inaugural year in MLS at Empire Field before moving into the renovated BC Place in downtown Vancouver. WFC have improved their point total every year since joining MLS: 2011 - 28 points (6W-18L-10D), 2012 – 43 points (11W13L-10D), 2013 – 48 points (13W-12L-9D), 2014 – 50 points (12W-8L-14D), 2015 – 53 points (16W-13L-5D). In 2012, the Blue & White made history by becoming the first Canadian MLS club to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs, and returned to the postseason in 2014 and 2015. In addition to qualifying for the MLS Cup Playoffs in three of five seasons, the ’Caps won their first-ever Voyageurs Cup in the 2015 Amway Canadian Championship.

2016 is Vancouver’s 42nd season of professional soccer, and 30th consecutive season. Whitecaps FC are the longest running professional soccer club in United States and Canadian history.

REDEMPTION IN KANSAS CITY Whitecaps FC are entering Saturday’s match at Children’s Mercy Park with redemption in mind and will look to make history with their first-ever MLS win at Kansas City.

During their last trip to the KC, the ’Caps suffered a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to Sporting Kansas City on August 15, 2015 when they gave up a two-goal lead with 10 minutes remaining. Kekuta Manneh registered a first-half brace and captain Pedro Morales gave the ’Caps a 3-1 second half lead in the 75th. SKC striker Dom Dwyer made it 3-2 in the 81st, before Paulo Nagamura scored in the 87th and again with the match-winner in 90’ +4. ’CAPS DEFENDERS PROVIDING SCORING PUNCH The ’Caps backline, which tied for least goals allowed last season, provided the offence in last week’s opener, with left back Jordan Harvey and centre back Kendall Waston each finding the back of the net off set pieces.

The last time Vancouver got two goals from their defenders was last August 1, 2015 when Pa-Modou Kah recorded a brace in a 3-0 road win over Seattle Sounders FC.

DÉJÀ VU? ‘CAPS LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK Much like 2015, the ’Caps opened 2016 with a home loss to a Canadian rival. They suffered a defeat to Toronto FC to begin 2015 and opened with a 3-2 loss to Montreal Impact last weekend.

Prior to last year, Whitecaps FC had been undefeated in their season openers since entering MLS in 2011.

Vancouver is looking to duplicate last season’s bounceback performance after the season-opening loss, when they responded with four consecutive wins. Like last year, they go on the road for Weeks 2 and 3 and back home for Weeks 4 and 5.

ROAD GLORY Since the 2011 inaugural Whitecaps FC MLS regular season, which saw the expansion side fail to win away from home, road performances have been a regular talking point. Last year, Carl Robinson’s side sported the league’s best road record earning 24 points with a 7-7-3 record.

FROESE SHINES IN FIRST HOME START Perhaps overshadowed by the Whitecaps FC debuts of new acquisitions Fraser Aird, Christian Bolaños, Masato Kudo, and Blas Pérez was the impressive performance of Kianz Froese in his first home start.

The 19-year old from Manitoba was comfortable in the midfield, connecting on 94.1 per cent of his passes, missing on only two.

The box-to-box midfielder played 66 minutes and even attempted a shot through traffic from outside the box that just sailed high.
