MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs NEW YORK RED BULLS SPORTING PARK, Kansas City, Kan.

March 8, 2015 (WEEK 1, MLS Game #9) 6 p.m. CT (FS1)

A pair of clubs who last faced each other in the MLS Cup Playoffs will open the 2015 season against each other – albeit in different conferences this year – when Sporting Kansas City play host to the New York Red Bulls on the MLS debut on Fox Sports 1. A year ago, the Red Bulls dispatched Sporting when the clubs met in the Knockout Round. But with the addition of expansion teams Orlando City and New York City FC, Sporting have moved to the Western Conference – so if the teams meet again this year, it will have to be in MLS Cup 2015. REFEREE: Baldomero Toledo. AR1 (bench): Fabio Tovar; AR2 (opposite): Chris Strickland; 4th: Sorin Stoica MLS Career: 45 games; FC/gm: 22.8; Y/gm: 2.8; R: 16; pens: 11 SUSPENDED: none DISABLED LIST: none INTERNATIONAL ABSENCES: none HEAD-TO-HEAD ALL-TIME (51 meetings): Sporting 19 wins (2 shootout), 64 goals… Red Bulls 20 wins (2 shootout), 63 goals… Ties 12 AT KC (27 meetings): Sporting 14 wins (2 shootout), 40 goals… Red Bulls 9 wins (1 shootout), 32 goals… Ties 4 2014 (MLS) 5/27: KC 1, NYR 1 (Dovale 9 – Wright-Phillips 50) 9/6: NYR 2, KC 1 (Wright-Phillips 11; Henry 52 – Dwyer 54) 10/26: KC 0, NYR 2 (Wright-Phillips 15, 70)

This is the only league meeting between the teams this season. The Red Bulls have a four-game undefeated streak alive in league play against Sporting, including victories in

the last two regular season meetings a year ago. SKC last won in the series in the first meeting in 2013. The teams also met in the Knockout Round of the MLS Cup Playoffs a year ago, the Red Bulls taking a 2-1

victory at Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls have come away with points on their last four visits to Sporting Park. Sporting had come away

with points on their last three visits to Red Bull Arena before the New York win in the only Harrison encounter last year.

Coaches record: Peter Vermes vs. NYR: P13 W4 L6 T3 … Jesse Marsch vs. KC: P3 W1 L1 T1 SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City saw defense of their MLS Cup championship come up short a year ago, falling at the Knockout Round stage after a fifth-place finish in the Eastern Conference. Peter Vermes is back for a sixth consecutive season in charge of the bench duties, after seeing his side record 49 points last year. TEAM NEWS

Sporting concluded their preseason with a 3-2-2 record following a 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders FC in the finale of the Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Ariz.

Here’s the Sporting team: Tim Melia (Jon Kempin 46); Saad Abdul-Salaam, Erik Palmer-Brown, Jalil Anibaba, Seth Sinovic; Servando Carrasco, Mikey Lopez (Marquis Brooks* 67), Paulo Nagamura; Jimmy Medranda, James Ansu Rogers, Connor Hallisey.

Sporting boss Peter Vermes ran out nine of 11 starters for the full 90 minutes in the match against Seattle, the team’s fourth in the Desert Diamond Cup (where they went 1-1-2).

“It definitely showed in the last 20 to 25 minutes, but at this time of year you don’t expect to be operating at 100 percent,” said SKC assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin. “It was necessary for these guys to have to push through physically and mentally to get 90 minutes. I think they managed that along with the rest of the game really well.”

Krisztian Nemeth scored five goals to lead SKC during their preparation matches, while Bernardo Anor was second with two. Sporting scored 12 goals in their seven preseason matches.

Newcomers James Ansu Rogers and Connor Hallisey also netted goals in the preseason, Hallisey scoring in the finale vs. Seattle.

“In terms of filling the final roster spots, I think we have a good idea of what the guys within camp can contribute,” said Zavagnin. “I think a lot of our young guys have done extremely well, and we have a very good idea of which guys are going to stick around. You can see a lot of that with Connor Hallisey, James Ansu Rogers, Saad Abdul-Salaam and Amadou Dia.”

Since then it’s been all change for the Red Bulls, with Jesse Marsch taking over head coaching duties for Mike Petke after his two seasons in charge. TEAM NEWS

The Red Bulls concluded their preseason schedule with a 3-1 loss to Philadelphia Union in the finale of the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic in Bradenton, Fla.

Here’s the Red Bulls team: Luis Robles, Chris Duvall, Damien Perrinelle (Matt Miazga, 46’) , Ronald Zubar, Roy Miller CAP, Lloyd Sam (Peguy Luyindula, 69’), Dax McCarty, Sacha Kljestan, Felipe Martins (Sal Zizzo, 69’), Mike Grella (Anatole Abang, 87’), Bradley Wright-Phillips

2014 MLS Golden Boot winner Bradley Wright-Phillips scored the lone New York goal in the match, his second in as many matches to end the preseason.

The Red Bulls were undefeated in their group to reach the final of the IMG event, going 2-0-1 ahead of Toronto FC, USL side Oklahoma City Energy FC and Danish outfit HB Koge.

“I think from when we were given our first instructions of how to play, with the high press and all that, it’s just gotten better and better each day,” Red Bulls head coach Jesse Marsch said. “You can tell from the results of this tournament that things have worked. We don’t normally have great results in preseason for as long as I’ve been here, so it’s good to start off the season well.”

The Red Bulls concluded their preseason preparations with a 4-2-1 record, only one loss coming against MLS opposition (also falling to the USL Jacksonville Armada in early February).

“The idea is when we do pressure, we go as a group,” goalkeeper Luis Robles said. “It starts from the front and goes all the way to the back. We have to make sure there’s a lot of communication and that our spacing is right. Obviously for me I can’t have too much space between me and my backline. It’s going to put some pressure for me to come out of my comfort zone, but everything that he’s asking for each individual is a little bit out of our comfort zone and I think that’s good. We’re going to grow as players, we’re going to grow as a team and I think we’re excited about the challenge ahead of us.”

The Red Bulls figure to include both new boys Felipe and Sacha Kljestan in their opening day team. Felipe played for new Red Bulls boss Jesse Marsch in Montréal; Marsch and Kljestan were teammates at Chivas USA from 2006-09.

“Everybody knows that we have a lot of quality in the middle with Sacha and Dax. We have quality players,” Felipe said. “[Jesse] knows that I can play a lot of positions in the midfield. Maybe underneath the attacker, but the way we’ve been playing, it’s me and Dax in the middle and Sacha up front. I think this is the way we’re going to play, but he knows I can play other positions. I am ready to play anywhere. I just want to help the team and do my best.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 8, 2015 vs New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTESSPORTING KC KICKS OFF 20TH SEASON IN MLSOne of nine active MLS charter members, Sporting KC opens their 20th season on Sunday against the New York Red Bulls at Sporting Park. The matchup features the top two goal scorers from 2014 as All-Stars Dom Dwyer and Bradley Wright-Phillips go head-to-head on FOX Sports 1 in Sporting KC’s first of 10 nationally-televised regular season matches in 2015.

Led by seventh-year Manager Peter Vermes, Sporting KC is the only club to win an MLS Cup (2013), a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup (2012) and multiple conference regular season titles (2011, 2012) over the past nine seasons. Since 2011, Vermes has guided the team to four straight postseason appearances and 67 MLS victories (including playoffs), third most in the league. During that time, Sporting KC has recorded a league-best 29 road wins.

In addition to winning championships, the club has seen many of its current players earn individual accolades. Winger Graham Zusi was named MLS Breakout Player of the Year in 2011, while captain Matt Besler received MLS Defender of the Year recognition in 2012. A pair of three-time MLS All-Stars, Zusi (28 caps) and Besler (25 caps) are veterans of the United States Men’s National Team and signed Designated Player contracts with Sporting KC last July after competing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.

Last year, Dwyer scored 22 MLS goals and 24 goals in all competitions to set new single-season records for the club. The 24-year-old has scored 50 goals in all competitions since the start of 2013—28 with Sporting KC and 22 with former USL PRO affiliate Orlando City SC. Now entering his fourth year in Kansas City, Dwyer signed a contract extension during this offseason.

Sporting KC also welcomes back Honduran international midfielder Roger Espinoza, who played five seasons for the team from 2008-2012. After becoming an MLS All-Star in 2012, Espinoza moved to Wigan Athletic where he won the 2013 FA Cup title and made 57 total appearances across the English Premier League, English Championship, UEFA Europa League and domestic cups. He is the only active MLS player to have competed in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups and the 2012 Summer Olympics.

RETURNING TO THE WESTSporting KC rejoins the Western Conference in 2015 as part of conference realignment for Major League Soccer’s 20th season. With expansion clubs Orlando City SC and New York City SC joining the Eastern Conference, Sporting KC and the Houston Dynamo have moved west.

Sporting KC played their first nine seasons (1996-2004) in the Western Conference and reached the postseason on seven occasions. The club shifted to the Eastern Conference prior to the 2005 season and has played each of the past 10 seasons in the East.

Thirteen of the past 15 MLS Cup champions are competing in the Western Conference in 2015. Among the 10 teams, five reside in the Pacific Time Zone, three in the Central Time Zone and two in the Mountain Time Zone. For the 2015 campaign, the 20 teams will each play 34 games during the regular season. Clubs will play each team in the opposing conference once for five home and five away matches. Clubs will play each of their nine conference opponents at least twice (one home, one away), plus six additional intra-conference games -- three home and three away.

SPORTING PARK SELLOUT STREAKSporting Park has sold out 53 consecutive MLS matches (including playoffs) dating back to March 2012 and 66 of 74 overall since opening in June 2011. Sporting KC has set new regular season attendance records in each of the last four years, eclipsing 20,00 specators per game in 2014.

In 74 MLS matches played at the venue, Sporting Park is averaging 19,330 spectators -- good for 104.7 percent of its 18,467-seat capacity. Sporting KC’s average home attendance in 2014 was at 108.7 percent capacity, the highest mark in MLS.

FOUR MATCHES IN MARCHSporting KC opens the 2015 regular season with four games in the month of March, including two against clubs that qualified for the 2014 postseason. Their Sunday showdown with the New York Red Bulls marks the first season-opening matchup between the foes. New York won three of four encounters in 2014, including a 2-1 victory in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round that eliminated Sporting KC from the playoffs. Bradley Wright-Phillips scored six goals in those four matches, three of which at Sporting Park.

Now a member of the Western Conference, Sporting KC’s first intra-conference tilt comes next Saturday at FC Dallas. Seattle Sounders FC narrowly eliminated Oscar Pareja’s side last year in the Western Conference Semifinals: FC Dallas lost the away-goals tiebreaker after a 1-1 stalemate through two legs.

The Portland Timbers visit Sporting Park on March 21 for their first road test of the year. Sporting KC earned a 1-0 road win at Portland last season, but the Timbers have been victorious in each of their last two trips to Kansas City. Caleb Porter’s team left Sporting Park with a 3-2 win in April 2013 en route to finishing atop the Western Conference regular season standings. Last June, Portland eliminated Sporting KC from the 2014 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 3-1 triumph in the round of 16.

Sporting KC ends the month with their inaugural meeting against expansion side New York City FC on March 28. This will also be Sporting KC’s first ever match played at Yankee Stadium, and just the second MLS regular season game held at the historic venue—following NYCFC’s home opener on March 15 against New England.

STRONG STARTERSPeter Vermes’ side is 9-3-3 in the month of March over the last five seasons, including a 5-0-2 record at home. Sporting KC has outscored their opponents 26-13 during this stretch while posting seven clean sheets and scoring in all but one match themselves.

OFFSEASON OVERHAULA roster makeover during the offseason saw Sporting KC acquire 13 new players and part ways with 15 members from last year’s squad. While retaining its veteran core – Matt Besler, Graham Zusi, Dom Dwyer, Seth Sinovic and Chance Myers – the club made multiple signings at each position.

Goalkeepers (2): Luis Marin (31), a Chilean international (eight caps) with 12 years of professional experience in his native country and Sporting KC’s current holder of the No. 1 jersey; Tim Melia (28), a sixth-year MLS veteran who was a League Pool Goalkeeper in 2014 and received a call-up from Sporting KC last summer.

Defenders (4): Jalil Anibaba (26), a versatile veteran who has started more than 100 MLS matches over four years with Chicago and Seattle; Saad Abdul-Salaam (23), a right back out of Akron selected 12th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Amadou Dia (22), a left back out of Clemson selected 20th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; Marcel de Jong (28), a Canadian international (31 caps) who has played each of the last four years at FC Augsburg of the German Bundesliga.

Midfielders (3): Roger Espinoza (28), a Honduran international (45 caps) and MLS All-Star who played in Kansas City from 2008-2012 before joining Wigan Athletic in England; Servando Carrasco (26), an MLS veteran who played 60 games over four years with Seattle and Houston; Soni Mustivar (25), a Haiti international who has played each of the last three seasons with Petrolul Ploiesti in the Romanian first division.

Forwards (4): Bernardo Anor (26), a fifth-year veteran who played 72 MLS matches and scored 12 goals in Columbus; Krisztian Nemeth (26), a Hungarian international (15 caps) with nearly 10 years of professional experience across Europe; Connor Hallisey (23), a winger out of California selected 10th overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft; James Ansu Rogers (22), a winger out of New Mexico selected 53rd overall in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | March 8, 2015 vs New York Red Bulls | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes

Peter Vermes enters his seventh season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2015. He is the team’s second-longest serving head coach, and his .551 regular season winning percentage (76-58-44) is best in club history. During his tenure, he has won two major trophies – the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – as well as two MLS Eastern Conference regular season titles (2011, 2012). He is the second coach to lead Sporting KC to four straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster and the Sporting KC Juniors program. Vermes, an original member of Major League Soccer, retired from the League in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It marked the first time the United States had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, appearing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. He was nominated on the players’ ballot for the National Soccer Hall of Fame from 2007-2012. In 2013, Vermes became eligible for the veteran ballot and on October 11, 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Manager | Peter VermesAssistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include: scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue. The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States. A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

Assistant Coach John Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to

work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.

NEW YORK OPENS 20th SEASON IN KC

The New York Red Bulls open the 2015 MLS season at Sporting Kansas City Sunday, March 8 at 7 p.m. JP Dellacamera, Brad Friedel and Julie Stewart-Binks have the call on FOX Sports 1.

The New York Red Bulls are one of 20 teams that comprise the top-flight professional soccer league in the United States – Major League Soccer. On the field, the team is led by head coach Jesse Marsch, former MLS player and coach of the Montreal Impact, 2014 Golden Boot Winner Bradley Wright-Phillips and New York veterans Dax McCarty and Luis Robles.

New York is one of nine original members of Major League Soccer as the league enters its 20th season. Major League Soccer is coming off a record-setting season in 2014, as the league witnessed all-time highs in television viewership, in-stadium attendance, consumer products, digital audience and social media engagement.

Last season, the Red Bulls reached the MLS Eastern Conference Championship, just short of reaching the second MLS Cup in club history. New York has qualified for the playoffs for five straight seasons and 11 of the past 12 years.

New York went 2-0-1 against KC last season and also defeated Sporting 2-1 in the knockout round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

New York went 3-7-7 on the road last year. New York head coach Jesse Marsch makes his debut as the Red

Bulls head coach Sunday vs. Sporting KC. Before joining the Red Bulls, Marsch was the head coach of the Montreal Impact during the club’s inaugural season in 2012. Marsch led the Impact to 12 wins in the club’s first season, the most wins by an expansion club since 1998.

Marsch went 1-1-1 against Peter Vermes’ Sporting KC side during his time in Montreal. Marsch’s win came in the only contest played at Sporting Park. Current Red Bull Felipe scored his first career MLS goal for the game-winner.

The top two goal scorers from the 2014 MLS season are featured in Sunday’s match. New York’s Bradley Wright-Phillips led the league with 27 goals while KC’s Dom Dwyer was second in the MLS with 22 goals last season. Both players tied for second in the league with six game-winning goals in 2014.

New York is in search of its first win in a season-opener on the road for since a 3-1 victory at Columbus on April 3, 2004. The Red Bulls last victory in a season-opener was a 1-0 result versus Seattle on March 19, 2011. Last season, New York dropped a 4-1 result at Vancouver in the first game of the year.

In the preseason, New York finished 2-1-1 and reached the championship game in the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic in Bradenton, Fla. The Red Bulls lost to the Philadelphia Union 3-1 in the championship game.

NEW YORK RED BULLS vs. SPORTING KANSAS CITY– GAME 1

MARCH 8, 2015 – 7:00 PM ET – FOX Sports 1 & FOX Deportes

BULLETIN BOARD For Starters This will be the 13th time the New York franchise has opened its season on the road (out of 20 seasons). All-time, New York is 7-8-4 in season openers and 2-7-3 in the 12 previous times it started its campaign away from home. In its first road matches of the season, New York has a total record of 6-8-5. New York is 11-3-4 in its home openers. New York has never faced Sporting Kansas City in a season opener. Curtis, Red Bulls Name Jesse Marsch Head Coach In early January, the Red Bulls named Jesse Marsch head coach going into the 2015 season. Marsch previously coached in MLS with the Montreal Impact in their inaugural season in 2012. Marsch coached the Impact to the most second-most successful season in MLS history. Marsch also spent time with the US Men's National Team, serving as Bob Bradley's assistant for the 2009 Gold Cup (USA’s best finish in a FIFA tournament) and 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Marsch also has local roots, serving as a two-year captain at nearby Princeton University before starting a 14-year MLS career that saw him win 4 U.S. Open Cups and 3 MLS Cups.

Busy Offseason for the Red Bulls The club completed a series of high profile trades and signings during an eventful offseason. In December, the team traded defender Jamison Olave to Real Salt Lake in exchange for allocation money. The Red Bulls then acquired Sal Zizzo from NYCFC (in exchange for the loan of goalkeeper Ryan Meara) before drafting UCLA midfielder Leo Stolz in the MLS SuperDraft. Stolz is widely considered the steal of the draft, as the projected top-five pick fell to New York at 18th overall. Despite his European prospects, Curtis signed Stolz to an MLS deal days later. Stolz, coupled with off-season Homegrown signing Sean Davis out of Duke University, give New York two of last year’s top midfielders from the college game. The biggest trade of the offseason saw the Red Bulls send workhorse midfielder Eric Alexander and promising Cameroonian youth Ambroise Oyongo to Montreal in exchange for midfielder Felipe and the top spot in the MLS allocation rankings, which the Red Bulls used to acquire U.S. international Sacha Kljestan from Belgian side RSC Anderlecht. Felipe, the 24-year-old Brazilian midfielder, has his most successful MLS season in 2012 under Jesse Marsch. The team also added a trio of defenders in Brooklyn native Andrew Jean-Baptiste, re-signing Damien Perrinelle and adding Ronald Zubar, a veteran defender with experience in both the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League. US International Sacha Kljestan Returns Home The New York Red Bulls agreed to terms with Belgian side Anderlecht for the transfer of U.S. Men’s National Team midfielder Sacha Kljestan in January. New York completed the move by using the top spot in the MLS allocation order, which the club acquired via trade with Montreal.

Kljestan has 46 caps for the U.S. Men’s National Team. He was a regular under Bob Bradley, making his senior debut on June 2, 2007, recording an assist in a 4-1 win over China in a friendly. He notably scored a hat trick against Sweden on January 24, 2009, tallying his first three international goals.

He was part of the 2009 Confederations Cup squad that captured the United States’ best finish in a FIFA competition when the U.S. fell to Brazil 3-2 in the final match. Kljestan also represented the U.S. in FIFA World Cup qualifying matches during the 2010 and 2014 cycles.

Kljestan, a native of Huntington Beach, California, broke into MLS in 2006 with Chivas USA, appearing in 32 games, including 31 starts, and recording seven assists, most among MLS rookies. He finished as a runner up in Rookie of the Year voting.

In 2008, Kljestan’s team-leading five goals and eight assists for Chivas USA garnered him MLS Best XI and All-Star honors as well as the club’s MVP award. That same year, he represented the United States in the Beijing Olympics, scoring two goals in the team’s three matches.

Before being selected by Chivas USA in 2006, Kljestan was a college standout at Seton Hall University, just miles from Red Bull Arena, and also played for the U.S. U-20 National Team at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championships in the Netherlands.

Marsch and Kljestan were teammates at Chivas USA from 2006-09, and Kljestan was part of USMNT rosters when Marsch served as an assistant under Bob Bradley.

The 29-year-old moved to Anderlecht of the Belgian Pro League in June of 2010. He has made 90 league appearances for Anderlecht and also has experience in both the UEFA Champions League and EUROPA League. NYRB Announces Creation of USL Pro Team The Red Bulls joined other MLS squads in forming a USL team for 2015. With only 14 USL teams in 2014, the league will expand to 24 in 2015 as MLS teams such as Seattle, Portland, Toronto and New York have created USL teams. The team will be named 'New York Red Bulls II' and will train at the club's facility in Hanover, New Jersey. The club expects USL to function as another level of the player development pyramid, giving young players a professional environment to grow into MLS players, and to bridge the gap between the highly regarded Red Bulls Academy, the reigning NPSL U-23 Championship team, and the organization’s first team. In February, the organization named former player, current assistant coach and player development coordinator John Wolyniec head coach of NYRB II. BWP TIES RECORD, WINS GOLDEN BOOT Bradley Wright-Phillips scored his 26th and 27th goals of the 2014 season against Sporting Kansas City on October 26 in the final game of the MLS regular season to tie the all-time, single-season scoring record and win the 2014 Golden Boot Award, becoming the first player in franchise history to win the award. MLS GOLDEN BOOT FINAL STANDINGS 1. Bradley Wright-Phillips (New York Red Bulls) 27 2. Dom Dwyer (Sporting Kansas City) 22 3. Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy) 19 4. Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution) 18 5. Obafemi Martins (Seattle Sounders FC) 17 Wright-Phillips' two goals against Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park in the 2014 regular season finale tied the single-season all-time MLS scoring record set by Roy Lassiter and Chris Wondolowski.

Red Bulls Sign Sean Davis to Homegrown Deal In December 2014, the Red Bulls signed Duke University standout Sean Davis to a homegrown contract. Davis is the ninth homegrown player signed by New York in club history and joins current homegrown players Santiago Castano, Connor Lade and Matt Miazga on the roster. The 2014 All-ACC First Team, 2014 ACC Midfielder of the Year and two-time All-ACC Second Team selection has spent the last four seasons at Duke University where he was a NSCAA All-South Region second team honoree in 2014, and was voted Duke’s offensive MVP after the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Davis was also a part of the Red Bulls U-23 team that captured the NPSL Championship at Red Bull Arena in August. In four years at Duke, Davis amassed eight goals and 17 assists, including an ACC-leading 10 assists during his senior year in 2014. Davis was also a finalist for a Senior CLASS Award. The CLASS award, which gets its name from an acronym for “Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School”, aims to recognize senior student-athletes that excel in four areas – community, character, classroom and competition. New York Signs Sanchez The New York Red Bulls have signed 2015 fourth-round draft pick Manolo Sanchez to an MLS contract, the club announced. Sanchez, a midfielder, was selected by New York with the 79th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft out of Clemson University. The Philadelphia native spent three years at Clemson after transferring from Louisville. As a senior he scored three goals, and his six assists tied for the team lead. For his career he totaled 10 goals and 15 assists in 65 career appearances. Sanchez scored the lone goal in a preseason win over USL side Oklahoma City Energy FC in the IMG Suncoast Pro Classic Tournament. Marsch Names Staff After being appointed head coach, Jesse Marsch named long-time Chicago Fire assistant and head coach Denis Hamlett his first assistant. Hamlett, like Marsch, entered MLS in the inaugural 1996 draft. After a medical condition ended his playing career, Hamlett joined the Chicago Fire’s coaching staff for their inaugural ’98 season, the same year Marsch was acquired by the team. After 10 seasons as an assistant coach in Chicago, Hamlett was giving the head coaching reigns of the club in 2008. In two seasons at the helm, he led the side to back-to-back Eastern Conference finals and came within penalty kicks of an MLS Cup appearance in 2009. In addition to keeping John Wolyniec and goalkeepers coach Rafael Gonzalez, Marsch brought in long-time Fire teammate Chris Armas. Armas also joined Chicago in ’98, pairing with Marsch in the midfield for the fairytale double-winning campaign for the expansion side. Armas earned MLS Best XI honors five times in his career, tied for second-most all time behind only Landon Donovan’s seven. He made 66 appearances for the USMNT, just missing the 2002 and 2006 World Cups due to injury. Armas is widely considered one of the best American players of his generation.
