'''Peter Joseph Vermes''' ({{IPAc-en|v|ɜr|ˈ|m|iː|s}}; born November 21, 1966) is an American professional [[soccer]] coach and former player. From 2009 to 2025, he was the head coach of [[Sporting Kansas City]] in [[Major League Soccer]].

Entering the [[2023 Major League Soccer season|2025 MLS season]], Vermes was the longest-tenured head coach in MLS and has won four major trophies as a manager, the second most of all active coaches in [[MLS]].<ref name=Kovzan/><ref name=Bradley/>

As a player, Vermes spent several seasons playing in Hungary, the Netherlands, before establishing himself as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]] in [[Major League Soccer]], playing for [[MetroStars]], [[Colorado Rapids]] and the [[Kansas City Wizards]].
Vermes was also a regular member of the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]] throughout the 1990s, and represented his country at the [[1988 Summer Olympics]], the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] and the [[1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup]].

On April 4, 2013, Vermes was elected to the [[National Soccer Hall of Fame]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Delran native Peter Vermes elected to U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame|url=http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/soccer/Delran_native_Peter_Vermes_elected_to_US_Soccer_Hall_of_Fame.html|access-date=April 4, 2013|newspaper=The Inquirer|date=April 4, 2012}}</ref>

==Youth and college==
Vermes was born in [[Willingboro Township, New Jersey|Willingboro, New Jersey]]. He grew up in [[Delran Township, New Jersey]] and played high school soccer at [[Delran High School]].  He graduated in 1984, having scored 109 goals. In 1999, he was named by ''[[The Star-Ledger]]'' as one of the top ten New Jersey high school soccer players of the 1980s.<ref>Jandoli, Ron. [https://web.archive.org/web/20030110132039/http://nj.com/hssports/ledger/index.ssf?%2Fhssports%2Fcentury%2Fstories%2Fbsoccerdecades.html "The Century's Best – Boys Soccer: Top 10 Players of each decade"], ''[[The Star-Ledger]]'', November 7, 1999, backed up by the [[Internet Archive]] as of January 10, 2003. Accessed September 11, 2008.</ref>

Vermes played his first year in college on the [[Loyola Greyhounds men's soccer|men's soccer team]] at [[Loyola College in Maryland]] under head coach Bill Sento. Vermes then transferred and played three years of [[College soccer in the United States|college soccer]] at [[Rutgers University]], from 1985 to 1987.  In his final season, Vermes scored 21 goals and 10 assists for the team, finishing a first-team [[Division I First-Team All-American (soccer)|All-American]], as well as runner-up for the National Player of the Year Award.  During that season, Vermes led Rutgers to their first victory in the NCAA Tournament in 26 years, scoring the winning goal in a contest against [[Seton Hall University]].

==Playing career==
===Professional===
After graduating, Vermes went to Europe, where he played with [[Győri ETO FC|Rába ETO FC]] of Hungary in 1989 and [[FC Volendam|Volendam]] of the Dutch [[Eredivisie]] in 1990.  In May 1991, Vermes returned to the United States and played three games, scoring a single goal against the [[Tampa Bay Rowdies (1975–1993)|Tampa Bay Rowdies]] of the [[American Professional Soccer League]].  He then moved to Spain where he played for [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Segunda División|Second Division]] club [[UE Figueres|Figueres]] from 1991 to 1995.

Like many American players, Vermes returned to the United States to join the recently founded domestic league [[Major League Soccer]]. In January 1995, he signed with the new league that would not begin league play until 1996.  Therefore, MLS loaned Vermes to the [[New York Centaurs|New York Fever]] of the [[USL Second Division|USISL]] where he played 25 games, scoring 16 goals in the 1995 season.  In 1996, Vermes was drafted by the [[MetroStars|New York/New Jersey MetroStars]] in the third round of the [[MLS Inaugural Draft]] (29th overall) and captained the team in its first season.  Although he played the most minutes of any MetroStar that year, the MetroStars traded Vermes on February 3, 1997, to the [[Colorado Rapids]] for [[Kerry Zavagnin]].  Vermes would play three years for the Rapids before being traded again, this time to the [[Kansas City Wizards]] with [[Matt McKeon]] for Scott Vermillion and a player [[allocation (MLS)|allocation]].

With the Wizards, Vermes helped the Wizards finish the season first in the league with a 16–7–9 record, having allowed only 29 goals in 32 games, and eventually winning the [[MLS Cup]].  Vermes was recognized as the [[MLS Defender of the Year Award|MLS Defender of the Year]], while his teammate [[Tony Meola]] won both the [[MLS Goalkeeper of the Year]] and [[MLS MVP]] awards.  Vermes played two more seasons with the Wizards, struggling with injuries but playing every game he was healthy for, before announcing his retirement at the end of the 2002 season.

===International===
Vermes received his first cap May 14, 1988, against [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]], and would in all receive 66 caps for the team, playing in the [[1988 Summer Olympics|1988 Olympics]], the [[1990 FIFA World Cup|1990 World Cup]] and the [[1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup]]. In the 1990 World Cup, he nearly bagged a goal against Italy with a shot against Italian goalkeeper [[Walter Zenga]]. After seeing his playing time wane with the team in late 1993 and early 1994, Vermes was one of the final cuts from the 1994 U.S. World Cup team.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-04-28-sp-51473-story.html "Vermes Cut by U.S. Team," Los Angeles Times, April 28, 1994.]</ref> He later said he thought that his outspoken comments had doomed him politically.<ref>[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-05-11-sp-56307-story.html "Stunned Armstrong Released by U.S. Team : World Cup: Veteran defender thought he was competing for a starting job before being cut with three others," Los Angeles Times, May 11, 1994.]</ref>  A forward early in his career, his performance in defense in MLS led to his comeback to the National team in that position after years of absence, but he was cut again from the U.S. roster in January 1998.<ref>[https://archive.today/20161230151138/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/1998-01-17/sports/9801180639_1_world-cup-players-cup-team "U.S. Team Makes First Cuts," Orlando Sentinel, January 17, 1998.]</ref>

Vermes was named the 1988 [[U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year]] and U.S. Olympic Player of the Year.

In 1989, he scored six goals for the U.S. [[futsal]] team which took third place at the [[FIFA Futsal World Championship]] in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He ended his futsal career with 11 caps and 7 goals.

==Coaching career==

===Kansas City===
[[File:Peter-vermes.jpg|right|thumb|Vermes was the first person to win MLS Cup with the same club as player (2000) and head coach (2013).]]
Vermes was appointed as the technical Director for the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer in  November 2006.

He was named interim coach of the Wizards on August 4, 2009, one day after predecessor [[Curt Onalfo]] was fired by the team. The team was in sixth place in the MLS Eastern Conference with a 5–6–7 record.<ref>[http://kc.wizards.mlsnet.com/news/team_news.jsp?ymd=20090804&content_id=6237082&vkey=news_kcw&fext=.jsp&team=t105 "Vermes named Wizards interim coach," Kansas City Wizards Media Relations, Tuesday, August 4, 2009.]{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> Vermes would lead to the Wizards to a 3–7–2 record down the stretch.
Following the season, the Wizards removed the interim tag from his title.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2009/11/kansas-city-wizards-to-name-peter-vermes-head-coach.html |title="Kansas City Wizards to name Peter Vermes head coach," Soccer by Ives, Tuesday, November 10, 2009. |access-date=November 10, 2009 |archive-date=February 14, 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100214075145/http://www.soccerbyives.net/soccer_by_ives/2009/11/kansas-city-wizards-to-name-peter-vermes-head-coach.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2012, Vermes won his first piece of silverware as a head coach, leading the renamed [[Sporting Kansas City]] (changed from the Kansas City Wizards in 2010) to a penalty shootout win over three-time defending champions [[Seattle Sounders FC]] to win the [[2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup]]. The following year, Vermes led the club to the [[MLS Cup 2013|MLS Cup]], where they beat [[Real Salt Lake]], also in a [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalty shoot-out]]. This makes him the only person to ever win the [[MLS Cup]] as both a player and a coach with the same team.<ref name="MLS Cup Coach and Player">{{cite web|last=Brisendine|first=Steve|title=MLS Cup: Sporting Kansas City's Peter Vermes happy to reward hard-luck fans|url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/mlscup/2013/news/article/2013/12/07/mls-cup-sporting-kansas-citys-peter-vermes-happy-reward-hard-luck-fans|work=MLSsoccer.com|publisher=Major League Soccer|access-date=December 9, 2013}}</ref>

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd regular-season match – a 1–0 victory over the [[Houston Dynamo]] – becoming the all-time leader in games coached with one club in [[MLS]] history.

On October 3, 2020, Vermes won his 150th regular-season match, with a 2–1 victory over the Houston Dynamo, becoming only the 5th coach in MLS history to do so.
