Kerry Zavagnin has been appointed interim coach of Sporting Kansas City after Peter Vermes' departure, following a dismal start to the season with just one point from six games. Co-owner Mike Illig stated that Zavagnin's performance against St. Louis will play a crucial role in deciding his future. Sporting currently sits at the bottom of the MLS standings, facing a St. Louis team that is struggling with scoring goals. The upcoming match is critical not just for team momentum but also for Zavagnin's potential permanent appointment.
Kerry Zavagnin has been told the Sporting Kansas City job is his to keep if he can inspire a turnaround, beginning against St. Louis City.
It's always been understood between he and I that if anything ever happens to Peter, he would get a chance at the interim job.
We've also tried on multiple occasions to go with two strikers... We know we haven't scored enough and we're working hard on to improve.
Sporting KC have fewer points than any other side in MLS after six matches, with their next game against a better St. Louis side.
