Sporting Kansas City captain Matt Besler is looking forward to a reunion of sorts when his side hosts the Houston Dynamo in a pivotal Western Conference clash on Saturday at Children’s Mercy Park.
Houston will enter the contest under the guidance of interim head coach Davy Arnaud, a former Kansas City great who amassed 52 goals and 40 assists across 273 matches during an excellent 10-season stint at Sporting from 2002-2011.
Arnaud retired as a player and became a D.C. United assistant in 2016 before joining the Houston coaching staff in 2017. He took interim managerial duties when Wilmer Cabrera was dismissed earlier this month.
