After seven uninterrupted years in the postseason, 2019 was a bit scarce for SKC and seeing their run come to a stop after the team had its struggles but for manager Peter Vermes he is up and ready to front another contested season. 

So far, the club directives being hard at work in getting the ideal players to come to Children’s Mercy Park to try to make some noise and maybe reach that desired spot in the league finals denied many times in the past. 

The arrival of several players important to the blueprint project put in by manager Peter Vermes and looking forward to making an impact and not see this team display a sorry season is among one of his goals in this 2020.

However, Vermes is aware of the competition in both conferences and the way many clubs have armed their arsenal’s come kickoff this first weekend of March when Major League Soccer is celebrating its 25 years since its inception. 

Still, one thing this squad one urgent sense of competition and they are not easy prey to its foes, but in this 2020 with new franchises being welcomed in MLS, the competition is good as manager Vermes sees it but they need to step and be better!

As the team prepares for its 25th season, for the league pioneers, Sporting Kansas City somehow is looking forward to a return to its old glories and they would like to wrap it up with their third MLS Shield. 

The club as mentioned before being hard at work to build an armada for Peter Vermes entering into his eleventh season at the helm of SKC, the man is pumped up to deliver mayhem to all of its league foes from day one.

Among one of the most impacting arrivals to the Midwest side was of Mexican international striker Alan Pulido as the former player for Levadiakos and Olympiakos of the Greek league and later Tigres and Chivas from Liga MX.

Considered as one of the most mentioned signings in this edition, SKC also added new players in defender Winston Reid on loan from English side West Ham United, defender Amadou Dia from Phoenix Rising, defender Roberto Puncec from Rijeka, Gady Kinsa and goalkeeper Ricardo Sanchez. 

Adding the likes of promises in goalkeeper John Poulskamp, plus a couple of draftees in the recent SuperDraft in midfielders Jaret Townsend from Washington and James Kasak from Virginia Tech plus assuring the services of goalkeeper Tim Melia to a new contract. 

For SKC reinforcing their backfield and adding an upgrade in its attack, the former Wizards are looking forward to a productive season and a run to the postseason if everything falls according to manager Peter Vermes plans. 

In the end, Sporting Kansas City can finish in the top four spots in the Western Conference and a third-place maybe in the works, in the end Pulido’s adaptation to MLS as well the newcomer defenders will be the highlight for this team's success in 2020.
