HEAD COACH GIOVANNI SAVARESE In his first season with the club, Giovanni Savarese led the Timbers to 15 regular-season wins in 2018, tied for the third-most victories for a first-year head coach in MLS history. Under Savarese’s guidance, the Timbers won their second Western Conference Championship and advanced to their second MLS Cup in 2018. Regis-tering 18 wins overall including an impressive playoff run, Savarese became one of three head coaches since 2000 to register 18 or more wins, including playoffs, in their first year as a head coach in the league. He also became just the second head coach in the last 14 seasons to advance to MLS Cup in his first year in MLS.

Appointed as the Timbers’ head coach on Dec. 18, 2017, Savarese brings over 25 years of professional experience as a player and coach to the Timbers organization.

A native of Caracas, Venezuela, Savarese joined the Timbers after spending the previous five seasons as the head coach and sporting director of the New York Cosmos, where he developed one of the most successful clubs in the NASL, compiling a 65-26-44 record in 135 regular-season games, including a career-best 20-7-5 record in 2016 and an undefeated NASL Spring Season in 2015. Additionally, the Cosmos scored 223 goals during Savarese’s five seasons at the helm, which rank as the most in the NASL during that stretch. Savarese also led the Cosmos to four Soccer Bowl appearances, claiming the 2013, 2015 and 2016 championships. Most recently, after a 10-7-15 record in the 2017 regular season, Savarese guided the Cosmos to their third straight appearance in the NASL championship match, nar-rowly falling 2-0 to the San Francisco Deltas.

Prior to joining the Cosmos organization, Savarese, who holds a USSF “A” license, served as the head of youth development for the New York MetroStars/Red Bulls from 2005-2007, before joining the Cosmos as the club’s academy director in 2010, with a focus on developing youth talent in the greater New York area. Savarese served as the Cosmos academy director for two years before being announced as the head coach of the first Cosmos team in 28 years on November 19, 2012.

Savarese enjoyed an 18-year professional playing career, including five seasons in Major League Soccer, scoring 159 goals in 322 games played in various leagues in the United States, Venezuela, Italy and England. At the international level, Savarese earned 30 caps for the Venezuela National Team from 1989-2001, scoring 10 goals, including a notable finish against South American rival Argentina in 1996.

After beginning his professional career in Venezuela with Deportivo Italia in 1986, Savarese spent five seasons (1990-95) playing in the Cosmopolitan Soccer League and the USISL before being drafted by the MetroStars in the inaugural MLS SuperDraft in 1996 as the ninth overall selection, notching a team-record 41 goals and 94 points in 85 regular-season appearances during three seasons with the club. The striker’s record stood until 2009 when it was surpassed by Juan Pablo Angel.

Following his three seasons with the MetroStars, Savarese spent the 1999 MLS campaign with the New England Revolution, scoring 10 goals in 27 appearances. Shortly afterwards, Savarese joined Italian Serie A club A.C. Perugia and was loaned to A.S. Viterbese in 2000, before returning stateside to join the San Jose Earthquakes in the 2000 MLS season. After a brief stint with the Earthquakes, Savarese joined Swansea City, where he scored 14 goals across all competitions, prior to signing with Millwall F.C. in 2001. Following short spells with Venezuelan club Deportivo Italchacao and Italian club Sassari Torres, Savarese’s playing career concluded in 2004 after scoring five goals in 10 appearances with the Long Island Rough Riders.

In the collegiate ranks, Savarese enjoyed a four-year (1990-93) playing career with Long Island Univer-sity after moving to the United States from Venezuela in 1990. Savarese has also served as a member of the media, working as an analyst for ESPN International and ESPN Deportes.

PORTLAND TIMBERS AT COLUMBUS CREW SCSATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2019

NOTABLE QUOTESPortland Timbers midfielder Sebastián BlancoOn his thoughts on the game…“I’m very calm because the team had a very good attitude, a very good effort to change the history in the second half. I think we deserved more points today, but we played against 14, 15 players.”

On the difference in the second half…“The first we didn’t play bad. But we created more opportunities. In the second half we took more risks. We played more offensive, moved the ball well and created chances. Again, we had an important mistake and they scored and it was very dif-ficult to come back in the game.”

Portland Timbers defender Zarek ValentinOn his thoughts on the game…“Obviously it’s a better performance coming from last week. It’s a good to see a reac-tion from the group. First goal, weird, weird play. A little deflection and then second goal a penalty, that’s tough. For the guys to come back and grab a goal, and if we are going to say there is probably two penalty kick calls again, in my opinion Matt Hollingshead’s arm was in an unnatural position. If I was the defender I would feel like it was PK, but again it’s not my call. Again you move forward and you try to build from this.”

On the difference in the second half…“I think it’s just a matter of growing in confidence. When this group is confident and we are believing in each other and we have each other’s backs, we are tough to play against. We had [Dallas] under for the majority, obviously they got behind us a few times. Again we have to build on this. It’s not the result we wanted. We can’t control the refs, we just have to control what we can control.”

MATCH RECAPContinuing their extended road trip to start the 2019 season, the Portland Timbers fell to FC Dallas 2-1 at Toyota Stadium on Saturday evening. Cristhian Paredes tallied his first goal of the season for the Timbers in the match.

Key playsFC Dallas scored the first goal of the match in the ninth minute when Jesús Ferreira collected a loose ball at the top of the box before advancing and finishing with a right-footed shot from the center of the box.

In the 27th minute Carlos Gruezo crossed a diagonal ball to Michael Barrios, who delivered a shot from close range, but Timbers goalkeeper Jeff Attinella was well-positioned to make the stop.

The Timbers came close to leveling the match in the 32nd minute when Andrés Flores fired a left-footed shot from the left side of the field, but his shot was saved by FC Dallas goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez in the bottom left corner.

Approaching halftime, Barrios made a run down the left side of the field, dribbled into the box and fired a right-footed shot. Reacting quickly, Attinella parried the ball away in the 44th minute.

In the 58th minute, FC Dallas was awarded a penalty kick after the Timbers commit-ted a foul in the box. Reto Ziegler stepped to the spot and converted to give Dallas a 2-0 lead.

Portland pulled within a goal at 2-1 in the 67th minute after Diego Chara played a long pass from the center circle to Sebastián Blanco, who delivered a precise cross from the right side of the box to Paredes for the diving header from close range and his first goal of the season.

The Timbers, who finished with an 11-5 edge in total shots and 5-2 edge in shots on target in the second half, looked to have a chance to tie the match deep in second-half stoppage time when Matt Hollingshead committed a clear handball in the box on a header by Larrys Mabiala. Video review was used on the hand ball play, but Portland was not awarded a penalty.

Continuing to push for the equalizer, Dairon Asprilla found space behind the FC Dallas backline and Diego Valeri slotted a ball into space for Asprilla, who fired a shot from close range at the right post, forcing a kick save by Gonzalez in stoppage time.
