Overview

• Peter Vermes and Sporting Kansas City have mutually agreed to part ways after two decades of collaboration as player, technical director, and head coach.
• Vermes leaves as the longest-tenured coach in MLS history, with 203 regular-season wins, ranking third all-time in the league.
• During his tenure, Vermes led Sporting KC to an MLS Cup title in 2013, three U.S. Open Cup championships, and 11 playoff appearances.
• The decision follows Sporting Kansas City's poor start to the 2025 season, with a winless record of 0-5-1 through six matches.
• Kerry Zavagnin, a long-time assistant coach, has been appointed as interim head coach as the club navigates this transitional period.
