Sporting Kansas City Parts Ways with Longtime Manager Peter Vermes

Sporting Kansas City has officially announced the departure of Peter Vermes, ending his remarkable 16-year tenure as head coach. This decision comes after a difficult start to the season, prompting calls for his resignation from fans and supporters groups, notably The Cauldron. Vermes, who has been a fixture in Major League Soccer, leaves behind a significant legacy, as his time with the club marked one of the longest coaching spells in global soccer history. Kerry Zavagnin has been appointed as the interim head coach as the team looks to turn its fortunes around.
