When Peter Vermes speaks, we listen.
The Sporting Kansas City Manager and Sporting Director joined Sports Radio 810 WHB this afternoon to discuss Major League Soccer's suspension due to COVID-19, what he believes is a reasonable timetable for return and how the club has reacted to the public health crisis as positively as possible.
In a candid and insightful interview with The Program host Soren Petro, Vermes acknowledged that while missing matches has proven to be a sad and frustrating experience, controlling the devastating impacts of the coronavirus pandemic should be everyone's top priority.
"There was a lot of (preparation) by the players and staff, and a lot of times I feel bad for them just because I know how hard they worked to get themselves ready to go," Vermes said.
