When World Cup veteran and MLS All-Star Peter Vermes joined the Wizards in 2000, he never would have guessed that he’d end up spending the next 20 years in Kansas City.
As fate would have it, that is exactly what has happened—and Vermes couldn’t be more pleased with the journey thus far. The Sporting Kansas City Manager and Sporting Director has coached the club to four major championships in addition to winning the 2000 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield as a player.
All the while, he has become one of the most accomplished coaches in MLS history, built an entire club culture and put Sporting on the map as a perennial title contender.
