Fair warning: any Sporting Kansas City fans who don’t listen to the newest episode of MLSSoccer.com’s ExtraTime Radio are missing out completely.
At the 30-minute mark in the podcast above, Sporting KC Manager Peter Vermes joins host Andrew Wiebe for a comprehensive interview that touches the following topics:
- The recipe to Sporting KC’s stingy defensive success, with the team on pace to set a club record for lowest goals against average
- The importance of building a second-to-none Academy amidst the MLS arms race
- How his shrewd management kick-started Graham Zusi’s career as a professional
- Finally, and perhaps most compellingly, he entertains the idea of coaching the U.S. Men’s National Team if the job is ever offered to him
Following the Vermes interview, stay tuned for a hilarious segment with Sporting KC’s Ike Opara and Tim Melia. The players talk about their All-Star snubs, Vermes’ health regimen and — go figure — kickball games at Chivas USA.
