Vermes signs contract extension with Sporting KC through 2017
Sporting Kansas City announces coach and technical director Peter Vermes will remain in charge through 2017. CEO Robb Heineman notes Vermes has rebuffed interest from rival clubs and national teams as the club builds toward a $200 million stadium and MLS success. Vermes, U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame inductee, has guided a rise that included two straight Eastern Conference titles and the Open Cup. The team heads to CONCACAF Champions League and faces AS Roma in the MLS All-Star game preview.
