Sporting KC signs coach Peter Vermes to contract extension

Over the course of the next several weeks, the Sporting Kansas City roster will likely encounter a series of adjustments.

But the man in charge will remain unchanged for the foreseeable future.

Sporting Kansas City and coach Peter Vermes have agreed to a contract extension through the 2019 season, a source told The Star on Tuesday. The deal is expected to be made official during a news conference Tuesday.

Vermes, who turned 50 earlier this month, also serves as the technical director for Sporting KC, allowing him control over the personnel and roster decisions. That role is extended through the 2019 season, as well.
