Sporting Kansas City announced Friday that the club has signed assistant coaches Kerry Zavagnin and Zoran Savic to new contracts. In addition, Alec Dufty has joined the technical staff as Sporting KC’s new goalkeeper coach.
Zavagnin and Savic have served as Sporting Kansas City assistant coaches since 2009 alongside Manager and Technical Director Peter Vermes, who signed a contract extension with the club through 2019 in November. The longest tenured coaching trio in MLS has guided Sporting Kansas City to a club-record six straight playoff appearances since 2011 and won three major championships — the 2013 MLS Cup and the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.
