CHICAGO FIRE vs SPORTING KANSAS CITY TOYOTA PARK, Bridgeview, Ill. July 13, 2016 (WEEK 19, MLS Game #185) 7:30 p.m. CT (CSN-Chi; KMCI-38 / SKCTVN) Long-time Midwestern rivals Chicago Fire and Sporting Kansas City meet for the only time this season in an interconference match on Wednesday evening at Toyota Park. The Fire return home sitting at the foot of the Eastern Conference, coming off a 1-0 defeat at Toronto FC last weekend. Sporting have moved above the red line in the Western Conference, their undefeated streak now at five games following a second consecutive win, a 3-1 defeat of New York City FC on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park.

AR1 (bench): Kyle Atkins; AR2 (opposite): Gianni Facchini; 4th: Alan Kelly MLS Career: 3 games; FC/gm: 23.3; Y/gm: 2.3; R: 1; pens: 2 SUSPENDED: none WARNINGS: SUSPENDED NEXT YELLOW CARD: CHI: Matt Polster SUSPENDED AFTER TWO YELLOW CARDS: KC: Roger Espinoza, Matt Besler, Jimmy Medranda DISABLED LIST: none INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: none HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (50 meetings): Fire 25 wins (1 shootout), 85 goals … Sporting 14 wins (1 shootout), 59 goals … Ties 11 AT CHICAGO (23 meetings): Fire 17 wins (0 shootout), 47 goals … Sporting 4 wins (1 shootout), 22 goals … Ties 2 LAST YEAR (MLS): 5/3: KC 1, CHI 0 (Nagamura 75)  This is the only league meeting between the teams this season.  Sporting have won the last two meetings between the teams, including the only encounter a season ago, a 1-0 win May 3 in Kansas City. The last Fire victory came May 18, 2014, the first of three meetings that season, a 21 win at Toyota Park, the last meeting in Bridgeview.  The Fire haven’t won in Kansas City since 2012; SKC have three wins and two draws in the home meetings since.  Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. CHI: P15 W5 L6 T4 … Veljko Paunovic vs. KC: first game CHICAGO FIRE The Chicago Fire saw their MLS-record road winless streak continue, dropping a 1-0 decision to Toronto FC on Saturday evening at BMO Field. The Fire are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with 14 points from 16 games.

LAST MATCH  The game's lone goal came in the ninth minute. Sebastian Giovinco sent a nice through ball into the box, with Jordan Hamilton and Justin Morrow converging on the same spot to latch onto the pass. Hamilton made way for Morrow, and he put home a one-time finish on the angle.  Both sides put shots off the post down the stretch. TFC goalkeeper Alex Bono was credited with four saves for the clean sheet.  Fire manager Veljko Paunovic made no changes to the team that defeated the San Jose Earthquakes 1-0 at Toyota Park.  CHICAGO FIRE (4-3-2-1): Sean Johnson - Rodrigo Ramos, Johan Kappelhof, Jonathan Campbell, Brandon Vincent - Michael Stephens (Michael de Leeuw 46), Joao Meira, Khaly Thiam (Razvan Cocis 78) - John Goossens (Arturo Alvarez 63), Kennedy Igboananike - David Accam.

TEAM NEWS  The loss was the sixth road defeat in a row for the Fire, now a club record, surpassing their five-game road losing streak set five times previously. The loss also extended the Fire’s all-time MLS road winless streak to 33 games, which began last July 23.  The Fire were shut out at the attacking end for the first time since May 18, their fifth offensive shutout of the season. They have lost by 1-0 scorelines each of their last two attacking shutouts (last to NYCFC).  “I think we had opportunities, we played well and I thought we could tie the game. I happy for them and I’m happy about having the identity of playing hard until the end trying the tie the game. So I am proud of our players,” said Fire head coach Veljko Paunovic. “ … I think we have to move on and work for the next game.

Consistency, faith and hard work is what we have to put together.”

MLS GAME INFORMATION

     

Said goalkeeper Sean Johnson: “We came out slow. We were on the back foot, but the fighting spirit was there.

That is [what] we are going to need going forward. When you are down in a match, backs against the wall, you have to dig your way out and display character, like we did today.”

Paunovic named an unchanged team for just the second time this season, also keeping the same first XI April 2-10 in a 1-0 win vs. Philadelphia and a 0-0 draw with NYCFC. Michael de Leeuw made his MLS debut, coming on as a halftime substitute on the right of the midfield.

“Michael came in fresh, adjusted very well to the pace and demands of this league,” said Paunovic. “He’s building the trust now with the teammates and connections. Very dynamic; in the box, very dangerous. We expect him to improve our attack and score goals; no pressure – he knows what is expected.”

Said de Leeuw: “It feels good. But at the end of the game you lost 1-nil. That obviously doesn’t feel good. … It’s similar but it’s harder. You have to find your way and just play. I think for the first time I had a chance. It would have been a great debut if I had scored but it was OK.” Arturo Alvarez also returned to action after missing the last two matches through injury, coming on as a substitute for the final 27 minutes.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City stretched their undefeated streak to five games, winning a second in a row in a 3-1 win against New York City FC on Sunday evening at Children’s Mercy Park. Sporting are in fifth place in the Western Conference with 28 points from 20 games.

LAST MATCH  Sporting took the lead in the eighth minute. Jacob Peterson’s attempt caromed off the crossbar and NYCFC goalkeeper Josh Saunders, and Benny Feilhaber followed up and easily tapped the rebound into the open net.  NYCFC pulled level on 14 minutes. Andrea Pirlo intercepted a pass and slipped the ball wide to Ronald Matarrita, who then drove a pass into the center of the box where Frank Lampard turned it home with a leftfooted shot.  SKC regained the lead just two minutes later, as Jimmy Medranda settled an attempted clearance off a corner and fired low from distance, the ball bouncing in off Saunders.  Sporting doubled their lead in the 51st minute. A partially cleared corner was pumped back into the goalmouth scrum and Ike Opara fought off a tackle from an NYCFC defender before tapping in from six yards out.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the team that came back for a 3-2 win against Columbus Crew SC at Children’s Mercy Park. Brad Davis and Diego Rubio came into the front line in place of Graham Zusi and the suspended Dom Dwyer.  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara (Nuno Andre Coelho 84), Lawrence Olum, Jimmy Medranda - Soni Mustivar - Benny Feilhaber, Roger Espinoza - Jacob Peterson (Connor Hallisey 71), Diego Rubio (Justin Mapp 90), Brad Davis.

TEAM NEWS  The win against NYCFC was a second in a row for Sporting, their first consecutive wins in league play since opening the campaign with three victories March 6-20.  It was also a second consecutive game scoring a season-high three goals. Sporting have scored 10 goals over their last four league games, and are now averaging 1.20 goals per game (ranked 14th overall in MLS).  “I think we're getting back to our DNA. I said that last game and I say it again,” said SKC manager Peter Vermes. “What's happening is we're getting in a place where our decision making is becoming better and better.

Our transition moments in the game are getting better. And that's what's leading to, I think, the goals and the opportunities that we're creating in each half.”  Said Benny Feilhaber: “I think it's just that we're producing more chances than we were at the beginning of the season. Our set pieces have been better, our runs too. I think we got unlucky to not get a goal or two on set pieces tonight. We're getting more guys inside the box and that was one of the things we wanted to make a point on from earlier games this year. That's what happens you get goals from different guys.”  Feilhaber scored for a second consecutive game, now with five goals for the season, with three of the goals coming in the last four games. Feilhaber had a goal and/or an assist in each of the last four games, with three goals and two assists in that time, having part in half of SKC’s goals over that stretch.  “I think what happens is you start seeing the good qualities out of all of the players on our team. And I wouldn't just bring it down to just him. I think you're seeing so much from so many guys now,” said Vermes. “Because when you're on the front foot, when you put the work in you're out working the other team you start to break them in different ways. And it's not just physically but it's also mentally. And I think when you look at the game, we gained confidence as the game went on just because we were closing everything off.”  Ike Opara scored his first goal of the season, his first since last March 28 – when he scored at New York City FC. Opara has a goal and an assist on the season, both coming over the last two matches.  Jimmy Medranda scored his first MLS goal, in his 30th career league appearance. Medranda has a goal and an assist in the last two matches.

“It makes it hard for teams to lock in on one or two guys, goals can kind of come from anywhere, and it allows us to have more space. We have to take away some of the pressure that we put on our forwards with Dom [Dwyer] scoring most of our goals, and Diego [Rubio] when he plays up top, said Feilhaber.

Diego Rubio made his league start since April 27, coming into as the spearhead in attack and playing until the 90th minute, when he was taken off for a late substitute. Rubio had made four substitute appearances in the intervening nine games, totaling 44 minutes.

Brad Davis made his first start since May 27, coming into a wide left role and playing the full 90 minutes, his first full league game since May 21. Davis had come on as a substitute in the two previous games, totaling 13 minutes of action.

A LOOK AT THE FIRE The Chicago Fire entered their 19th season of MLS play after a busy offseason. With new leadership in general manager Nelson Rodriguez and head coach Veljko Paunovic at the helm, the Men in Red made a slew of changes, shoring up the roster with defensive-minded signings Johan Kappelhof and João Meira, and adding exciting young talent Brandon Vincent, Jonathan Campbell and Alex Morrell in the MLS SuperDraft. Rodriguez and Paunovic supplemented the veteran presence of Razvan Cocis and Sean Johnson by adding experienced league players Nick LaBrocca and Michael Harrington. The Fire continue to have a distinct local flavor with the addition of Homegrown signings Joey Calistri and Drew Conner.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 13, 2016 at Chicago Fire | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #CHIvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#CHIvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC (8-8-4, 28 points) carries a five-game unbeaten streak into Wednesday’s road match at the Chicago Fire (3-8-5, 14 points). Manager Peter Vermes’ men have won each of the last two meetings, both by the shutout variety at Children’s Mercy Park. Wednesday marks the first match between the sides in Chicago since May 18, 2014, when the Fire emerged with a 2-1 victory on a pair of Mike Magee penalty kicks. The sides most recently met on May 3, 2015, when Sporting KC earned a 1-0 win behind Paulo Nagamura’s 75th-minute winner assisted by Graham Zusi and Jalil Anibaba.

The clubs have met 50 times in the MLS regular season, with Chicago holding a decisive 25-14-11 advantage. Sporting KC’s 25 defeats to the Fire are their most against any MLS team all-time. Kansas City has historically struggled on their travels to Chicago, bringing a 4-17-2 regular season record to the Windy City. Their .217 winning percentage in Chicago is their lowest at any MLS opponent excluding Orlando City FC, whom they have visited just once (0-1-0). Sporting KC has lost two straight at Toyota Park, with their last win coming on July 7, 2013, when Graham Zusi and Benny Feilhaber scored within the first 10 minutes of a 2-1 victory.

Sporting KC has won six major trophies in club history, and three have come at the expense of the Chicago Fire. Kansas City defeated Chicago by a 1-0 scoreline in the 2000 MLS Cup and the 2004 U.S. Open Cup Final. In addition, Kansas City edged Chicago for the 2000 MLS Supporters’ Shield by virtue of greater goal difference after both teams finished the regular season with 57 points.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 13, 2016 at Chicago Fire | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES EASTERN CONFERENCE SWING CONTINUES SPORTING SURGING DURING SUMMER STRETCH Sporting KC ends a stretch of four consecutive regular season games against Eastern Conference opponents on Wednesday Having already faced the Montreal Impact (2-2 tie), Columbus Crew SC (3-2 win) and New York City FC (3-1 win) the club will now visit long-time MLS rival Chicago Fire. This run of matches bodes well for Sporting KC, who are 16-5-5 against interconference foes in the regular season since the start of 2014, including a 5-1-1 mark this season.

Thirty days ago, Sporting KC was recuperating amidst the Copa America break with just one win in 11 games. The arduous stretch saw the club score just seven goals and plunge from first place to eighth in the Western Conference.

Four MLS matches later, and Sporting KC has earned 10 points from a possible 12, leapt to fifth in the West and captured arguably the best form of any MLS team since the regular season resumed in mid-June. Peter Vermes’ men continued their impressive turnaround Sunday, dispatching Eastern Conference leaders New York City FC with a comfortable 3-1 win at sold-out Children’s Mercy Park. The result snapped NYCFC’s four-game winning streak and extended Sporting KC’s unbeaten run to five in MLS.

LAST TIME OUT: SPORTING CRUISES PAST NYCFC

Sporting KC claimed a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Eastern Conference leaders New York City FC on Sunday night at a sold-out Children’s Mercy Park, extending the club’s unbeaten run to five MLS matches. Benny Feilhaber fired the hosts ahead in the 8th minute and Jimmy Medranda belted his first MLS goal eight minutes later, restoring the lead after Frank Lampard had equalized for New York City FC. Ike Opara sealed the victory with a close-range effort early in the second half, giving Sporting KC its 50th regular season win at Children’s Mercy Park.

A defining characteristic of Sporting KC’s struggles before the Copa America break was the club’s inability to turn chance creation into goals. Despite ranking second with 14.3 shots per game, Sporting KC’s 0.88 goals per game were second-lowest in MLS entering a pivotal home date with FC Dallas on June 19.

Vermes’ side has undergone a stark transformation since then, leading MLS with 2.5 goals per game. While shots and chances created have remained level, Sporting KC’s shooting accuracy (per Squawka.com) in recent games has seen a marked improvement. The following statistics speak volumes to the club’s upswing over the last month:

The result snapped New York City FC’s four-game winning streak and solidified fifth place in the Western Conference for Sporting KC(8-8-4, 28 points), who enjoyed their second straight three-goal game in a convincing performance from beginning to end.

• Sporting KC has scored 10 goals over their last four MLS matches (since June 19) after scoring just seven in their previous 11 (April 13 - June 2).

• Sporting KC has recorded four straight multi-goal games for the first time since July 12-26, 2014.

• After failing to reach three goals in each of their first 20 games across all competitions, Sporting KC has done so twice consecutively.

• Sporting KC has the best record of any MLS team since the Copa America break (3-0-1, 2.5 points per game).

Sporting KC has now scored 10 goals in its last four league games after netting just seven in their previous 11. The recent upswing includes three consecutive wins at Children’s Mercy Park, which sold out its 81st straight MLS match on Sunday evening.

TEAM OF THE WEEK: FEILHABER AND MEDRANDA SHINE

So goes Benny Feilhaber, so goes Sporting KC. A convincing 3-1 victory over star-studded New York City FC extended Sporting KC’s unbeaten run to five MLS matches, continuing an impressive turnaround for a club that fell as low as eighth in the West before the Copa America break.

An integral contributor during the upswing has been playmaker Benny Feilhaber, who paced Sunday’s dominant win with the game’s opening goal and a comprehensive midfield performance. Feilhaber earned MLSsoccer.com and Bleacher Report Team of the Week honors on Monday after tallying his fourth goal in five games across all competitions. Sporting KC’s 2015 Most Valuable Player tied an MLS career high with three shots on target while also adding a game-high seven recoveries among field players.

PETERSON POISED FOR 100TH SUB APPEARANCE

Another standout over the last month has been left back Jimmy Medranda, who landed a spot on Bleacher Report’s Team of the Week after scoring his first MLS goal from distance in the 16th minute of Sunday’s triumph. The Colombian also made five tackles to help Sporting KC’s backline limit a high-powered NYCFC attack to just four shot attempts.

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has started 135 of his 234 career regular season appearances. He is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance, the fifth most in MLS history. Should he hit the century mark, Peterson would join elite company among other heralded players, including MLS’s No. 2 all-time leading scorer Jeff Cunningham (134 regular season goals).

Player (MLS career) Sub appearances (GP-GS) 1. Jeff Cunningham (1998-2011) 132 (365-233) 2. Alan Gordon (2004 - ) 110 (234-124) 3. Dominic Oduro (2006 - ) 107 (297-190) 4. Andy Williams (1998-2011) 101 (332-231) 5. Jacob Peterson (2006 - ) 99 (234-135)

Feilhaber’s five combined goals and assists since June 18 -- during which time Sporting KC is 3-0-2 -- are tied for second-most in MLS. Medranda, meanwhile, leads MLS since May 20 with 33 tackles and 32 interceptions while ranking fourth with 45 duels won.

SKC LOANS TWO DEFENDERS TO SWOPE PARK RANGERS

The Swope Park Rangers added defenders Ever Alvarado and Kevin Ellis on loan from Sporting KC on Tuesday.

VERMES TWO SHY OF 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

Peter Vermes has now coached 275 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 122-88-65 record. He passed Bob Gansler as the longest-tenured manager in club history on June 19 when Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 2-0. Last August, Vermes passed Gansler as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history.

His 98 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fourth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (227), Bruce Arena (197) and Dominic Kinnear (157).

Alvarado joined Sporting KC on June 24 from C.D. Olimpia, having claimed his third career Liga Nacional title in May. The 24-year-old made 73 appearances in all competitions for Olimpia over the last three seasons, scoring six goals.

Alvarado has also earned six caps with the Honduras National Team, scoring his first international goal against Nicaragua on Jan. 28, 2016.

Ellis, 25, became the second Homegrown Player in Sporting KC history when he signed in February 2011. He has since gone on to make 54 MLS appearances, including five this season, while his four goals in 2015 led all defenders in the league. Ellis enjoyed a breakout year in 2014, making 27 appearances in all competitions and scoring his first career goal in a CONCACAF Champions League victory over Cruz Azul.

The Kansas City native has made 10 USL appearances, making five appearances while on loan at Orlando City SC in 2013, and another five on loan at OKC Energy FC in 2014.

Major League Soccer’s reigning Comeback Player of the Year, Tim Melia was a breakout performer during his sixth MLS season after previously serving as a back-up goalkeeper at Real Salt Lake (2010-11) and Chivas USA (2012-14). He ended 2015 with nine clean sheets and a 15-8-5 record in all competitions as Sporting KC made its fifth straight playoff appearance. He also made two saves in a penalty shootout win over the Philadelphia Union in the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Final.

Among MLS goalkeepers, Melia finished third in 2015 with a 72.6 save percentage while also ranking in the top 10 in wins, shutouts and goals against

average. He was a six-time member of the MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week and became the first goalkeeper in MLS history to record six shutouts in his first nine league matches for a new team.

After a four-year college career with NCAA Division III program Lynn University (New York), Melia began his professional career in 2008 with the Rochester Rhinos of the USL First Division. After stints with Real Salt Lake and Chivas USA, he spent the latter half of 2014 as a League Pool Goalkeeper, earning emergency call-ups from Sporting KC, FC Dallas and D.C. United.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | July 13, 2016 at Chicago Fire | 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 the team’s longest-serving manager and his 122 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 98 regular season wins top the club’s alltime 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 has coached 274 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

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 entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and 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.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic

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 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. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Year

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.
