Top Sporting KC assistants sign new deals; club hires new goalkeeper coach

A day after one Sporting Kansas City assistant coach departed for another job, the club announced the remainder of Peter Vermes’ staff will remain intact.

Sporting KC assistant coaches Kerry Zavagnin and Zoran Savic signed contract extensions, following in the footsteps of Vermes, who extended his deal in November.

The team also announced that Alec Duffy will replace John Pascarella as the goalkeeper coach. Pascarella was announced Thursday as the new head coach for the Des Moines Menace in the Premier Development League.

Duffy received a promotion after serving as the goalkeeper coach for the Swope Park Rangers inaugural season in 2016.
