Sporting Kansas City gives contract extension to head coach Peter Vermes

Sporting Kansas City has come to terms with head coach Peter Vermes on a contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.

Sporting KC’s boss since 2009, Vermes has posted a 103-82-61 record with the team and has made the playoffs in all but one of his seasons at the helm. He oversaw the team’s 2013 MLS Cup triumph, along with titles in the 2012 and 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups.

This season saw Vermes guide Sporting KC to the playoffs for the sixth straight campaign, though the team was eliminated in the knockout round by the Seattle Sounders.
