Farewell: Tiago Calvano's Minnesota United FC Chapter Ends
Stone Sports Management LLC (Columbus, Ohio) - March 22, 2017
After more than 60 appearances for Minnesota United FC, Tiago Calvano is moving on after agreeing to a mutual termination. The 35 year-old Brazilian joined the Loons in February 2014 and immediately made an impact helping the club to the Spring 2014 NASL Championship and would later be named to the NASL Best XI and Golden Ball nominee. In response to his stellar play that season, Minnesota United FC extended him for an additional two seasons while the club's uncertain future whether it would join MLS loomed. Calvano wore the Captain's armband on numerous occasions, participated in the NASL Playoffs and integrated well in the Twin Cities' community.

"Tiago has been a consummate professional throughout his time with Minnesota and played an important role in the club's development," remarked SSM's President and USSF Licensed Intermediary Justin B.

Below is Calvano's goodbye note. SSM would like to echo his remarks and thank those with Minnesota United FC throughout these past years. Stay tuned to learn which club Calvano will sign with for the 2017 season!
After an incredible three years in Minnesota, it is time for me to say goodbye. It was an honor to represent the club and a privilege to play in front of amazing fans that rivaled or exceeded my past clubs. A special thanks to the Dark Clouds who made every home game a memorable experience!
In 2014, my family and I took a big step moving from Australia and started our “American Dream,” which became a reality when I received my US Green Card. Thank you to my agents Justin Stone and Damone Priestley who provided me with this great opportunity and being there throughout.
I will never forget lifting the Spring NASL Championship, the honor of wearing the Captain’s armband and the memories with my teammates, staff and the fans. A special thanks to the Club and staff members who welcomed me and were always there to assist me.
The Twin Cities will always be special to me and wish nothing but success for the club and community as it grows in Major League Soccer.
I am happy to continue to play in America for two more seasons and will be announcing soon my new project.
This is goodbye for now… but once a Loon, always a Loon!

Transfer: Minnesota United FC Bolster Defense with Swiss Outsdide Back Jérôme Thiesson
Stone Sports Management LLC (Columbus, Ohio) - February 21, 2017
Stone Sports Management LLC ("SSM") is pleased to announce Jérôme Thiesson's transfer from Swiss Super League FC Luzern to Minnesota United FC. The 29-year-old Swiss defender becomes one of the most experienced outside backs in Major League Soccer with over 350 professional matches. The Loons have secured Thiesson's services through the 2018 season with a 2019 Option, and he will join his Minnesota United teammates as soon as he receives his P1-visa in hopes of doing so before the March 3, 2017 season opener against the Portland Timbers.
"I am honored to be one of the select internationals that Minnesota United FC has chosen to be part of its inaugural season," reflected Thiesson. "This unique experience to start a project from the beginning is not possible in Europe and so it made my difficult decision to leave FC Luzern easier. I want to thank the FC Luzern and its fans for my five and a half fantastic years at the club and applaud the administration for supporting my wish to come to Major League Soccer. I also want to recognize Head Coach Adrian Heath, Sporting Director Manny Lagos and Director of Soccer Amos Magee for their courtship and making me feel welcomed."
Thiesson signed with FC Luzern in summer 2011 and averaged over 30 games per season. In 2016/2017, Thiesson played in 10 matches and returned to the lineup and started in a 4-1 win against BSC Young Boys, which would turn out to be his last match for FC Luzern. In his professional career that started in 2005/2006 with FC Zurich, Thiesson has primarily played right back but also has significant experience as a left back and has also featured as right midfielder, defensive midfielder and a central defender in a 3-man back line. Prior to signing with FC Luzern, he featured in 85 matches with now defunct AC Bellinzona, including one season entirely as a left back under former Montreal Impact Head Coach Marco Schillibaum. From 2007 until 2009, Thiesson played for FC Wil 1900 before moving to the Swiss Super League with AC Bellinzona in January 2009. Thiesson's versatility will immediately provide options for Coach Heath along the backline.
"With Minnesota United FC looking to add a versatile, veteran defender, I am glad they recognized Thiesson's abilities and experience to help compliment a diverse roster that looks to make its mark in MLS for its expansion season," remarked SSM's President and USSF Licensed Intermediary Justin B. Stone. "Minnesota United FC is getting a player who has fantastic character, and I am excited for him and his wife to experience a new competition and culture."
Thiesson becomes SSM's first international right back signing in MLS and marks MLS's second signing this window from FC Luzern. SSM would like to congratulate Jérôme, his wife and the entire Minnesota United FC organization on this signing and wishes them the best during the 2017 inaugural season and beyond!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Amobi Okugo Returns to Portland Timbers for 2017 Season
Stone Sports Management, LLC (Columbus, Ohio) -- January 23, 2017
Stone Sports Management ("SSM") congratulates Amobi Okugo on signing a new MLS contract with the Portland Timbers for the 2017 season with a 2018 Option. The 25 year-old Sacramento, California native will enter his 8th MLS season after spending the 2016 season with the Timbers. Coach Caleb Porter will rely on Okugo's versatility to play central defender and defensive midfielder for the Timbers who will look to bounce back from missing the 2016 MLS Playoffs after capturing MLS Cup in 2015. Okugo joins his teammates today in Portland to begin pre-season.
"I am excited to return to Portland and grateful for the opportunity this wonderful organization has provided me, to join my teammates for a proper pre-season and to play in front of the best fans in MLS," says Okugo. "The Timbers and the Portland community have been welcoming ever since I arrived, and I want to thank Coach Caleb Porter and his staff for having the confidence in me to return and to General Manager Gavin Wilkinson, MLS and my agent for working hard behind to scenes to finalize a solution so that I can begin pre-season timely. The Timbers Army and all Timbers' fans deserve more trophies this season, and I will do my best to help the team achieve its goals, earn clean sheets and hopefully I can celebrate with Timber Joey and earn a slab or two!"
After a nomadic start to the 2016 season that prevented him from particiating in pre-season due to his former club, Sporting KC, waiving him with two years left on his 3-year guaranteed contract, the Timbers signed him in May 2016 (after week 10). After taking time to integrate in the new system and getting back to fitness with the Reserve Team in USL, Okugo would go on to play 7 games between MLS, US Open Cup, CONCACAF Champions League play, including an MLS Team of the Week (22) bench honor.
"Amobi will cointue to give us experience and depth in two positoins and when called upon like last year, we know he has the ability to step in and get the job done," said Head Coach Caleb Porter. The Timbers' General Manager and President of Soccer Gavin Wilkinson reflected, "We are pleased to have Amobi back for the 2017 season and look forward to his continued contributions as a versatile and experienced player on our roster."
Out of Contract in January 2015 after 5 seasons with the Philadelphia Union (including back to back 32 game seasons) and recognized as one of the best young, domestic talents [MLS 24 Under 24 Talents: #8 (2013) at 22 and #13 (2014) at 23 and ESPN’s US Soccer: 10 to watch under 21 #8 (2012), Okugo elected to re-sign in MLS with Expansion Franchise Orlando City SC (with the club trading for his MLS rights) on a 3-year $1M USD contract. In 2015, after starting the first 9 games and applauded for doing the “grunt work” in midfield and on the USMNT radar, Okugo received a yellow card suspension and replaced by Colombian International Cristian Higuita. Okugo would go on to appear in eight more matches before Sporting KC and Peter Vermes (who coached him with Generation Adidas and praised Okugo for his versatility), traded for him in exchange for Servando Carrasco. After acclimating with his new teammates, Okugo unfortunately suffered a PCL tear (and played on it) during his first start with Sporting KC. Unable to return until a couple months later (and with team selection settled vying for Playoff position), his opportunities were limited as the season ended.
"With the Timbers' need at both positions that Amobi has played in his career, Portland was a logical fit for him and for continuity in Coach Porter's system," says SSM's President and USSF Licensed Intermediary Justin B. Stone. "With his contract situation resolved, he can now focus on having a great season and get back to his form a few seasons ago where he was considered one of the best young talents in MLS. I want to thank General Manager Gavin Wilkinson and Coach Caleb Porter for their efforts to ensure that Amobi builds on last season and looking forward to watching Amobi and the Timbers this season."
After a stand out Youth National Team and UCLA collegiate career, Okugo was a 2010 MLS Generation adidas ("GA") class member and earned the MLS Combine MVP. At 18, MLS Expansion Franchise Philadelphia Union drafted him as the #6 overall pick and limited his time (12 games) his Rookie Season due to Salary Cap reasons/preventing him from graduating from the GA program. Okugo participated in three U20 USA camps as well as an off-season GA trip to Spain playing against Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Atletico Madrid reserves.
In 2014, expectations grew for Okugo and the Union. In summer, the club sacked Hackworth and replaced him with Jim Curtin who reverted Okugo back into central midfield where he was consistently one of the better players when on the pitch, including scoring in US Open Cup Semi-Final and Man of the Match performance against the Chicago Fire, providing Coach Curtin many options as the season finished. Okugo earned several MLS Team of the Week honors including Team of the Week (13) and Week 1 and Week (2) Benches. In all, Okugo made 117 appearances (101 starts) for the Union between 2010-14.

Montreal Impact Captain Patrice Bernier’s Re-Signs For Final MLS Season
Stone Sports Management LLC (Columbus, Ohio) - January 16, 2017
Stone Sports Management (“SSM”) is honored to announce that Major League Soccer’s Montreal Impact have re-signed Patrice Bernier to a one-year contract, which will be the Impact’s Captain’s final season as a player, after completing his 2-year contract signed ahead of the 2015 season. In these two seasons, Bernier proved his worth by helping the Impact to back to back MLS Playoffs, the CONCACAF Champions League Final and to its highest ever league finish. The 37-year old Broussard, Quebec native (who is one of only four MLS players born in the 1970s) will transition off the field in 2018 and continue with the Impact in a coaching role, primarily focused on developing and transitioning the younger players within the Impact Academy and First Team.
“I am happy and grateful to finish my professional career where it started back in 2000 and looking forward to my final season in front of my hometown fans and community,” reflected Bernier. “I will make sure to appreciate each moment and to do what is in my control to ensure the club earns silverware this season.”
Bernier will play his final MLS season in 2017 and looks to lead the Impact to obtain MLS Cup glory after progressing each of the last two seasons in the MLS Playoffs. After a mid-season coaching change, Impact Coach Mauro Biello gave Bernier the keys to the Impact midfield where he would help the club finish the regular season with over a 2.0 points per game record and would go on to score 2 goals, including the game-winning goal against Canadian rivals Toronto FC to advance past the MLS Knockout Round (marking the first playoff series the Impact ever won in MLS). After losing a close series in extra time to the eventual 2015 MLS Eastern Conference Champions Columbus Crew, Bernier would return in 2016 with improved performances, increasing his minutes, starts and assists. Once again, Bernier saved some of his best performances for the 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs, including a world-class assist against Toronto FC in front of 61,004 fans at Olympique Stadium. The goal for 2017 is simple – advance to the MLS Cup and lift the Philip F. Anschutz Trophy.
“I am thankful for the Club, Owner and President Joey Saputo, Coach Biello and the Front Office for giving me this opportunity, for their continued confidence in my abilities to help the Impact move forward, and I will do everything in my power to perform and give my all for this club, the city and its fans,” says Bernier. “I hope that the Impact fans and community will join me for this last season because we will need everyone to support the Club to put the team in the best position to achieve our goals and finish off my career with a special season.”
After starting his professional career with the Montreal Impact in 2000 when they were part of the United Soccer League, Bernier would ply his trade in Europe. In 2013, he first moved to Norwegian club Moss and later played in four seasons with Trømso where he was considered one of the best foreigners in the league. After a $1.3 million transfer bid from Turkish giants Besiktas was rejected, Bernier eventually moved to the German Bundesliga with Kaiserslautern before moving back to Scandinavia with Denmark’s FC Nordsjaelland and Lyngby and played in 16 UEFA Cup matches throughout his European career.
In 2012 after playing the previous four seasons in Denmark with FC Nordsjaelland and Lyngby (including FCN’s 2009-10 Player of the Year), the Impact wisely summoned Bernier back to his hometown club after a 10-year career in Europe to be one of the club’s marquee signings during its transition to MLS. Considered one of the best Quebec players the Province has produced, Bernier immediately showed his worth and earned the Giuseppe Saputo Trophy (awarded to the club’s Team MVP) with an impressive 9 Goal, 8 Assists season (including 4 game-winning assists, MLS August Player of the Month and selected 5 times to the Team of the Week (9, 12, 13-15, 24 and 25). He followed up his debut MLS performance with a 4 Goal, 8 Assist season (leading MLS with 5 game-winning assists), and MLS players, coaches and media recognized his stellar play with a 2013 MLS All-Star game nod against Italian side AS Roma. In 2014, he proudly earned his 50th Canadian National Team cap against Jamaica and helped the Impact win back to back Amway Canadian Championships.
The 2015 season also started brightly for Bernier and the Impact. After advancing to the CONCACAF Champions League, the Impact would be showcased in the region’s top tournament after it surprised Santos with a 94th minute goal to beat the Mexican giants and advance to the CONCACAF Final against Club America. After an impressive 2-2 away tie and going up a goal in the home leg in front of a sold-out Olympique Stadium, Club America came back and lifted the trophy. His current 5-year totals are 132 games played, 100 games started, 15 Goals and 24 Assists in over 9,000 minutes played in blue and black.
“Patrice Bernier is a class act and represents the Impact in high acclaim on and off the field,” says SSM’s President and USSF Licensed Intermediary Justin B. Stone. “I am thoroughly pleased that Patrice will be finishing his career with the Montreal Impact. He wears the Impact jersey with pride and wants nothing more than to close his playing career with an MLS Cup and will do everything in his capacity to ensure that the Impact fans and community is rewarded with one.”
Between his first Impact stint and his 5-year MLS career, Bernier will have played half his career (9 seasons) and participated in over 200 matches in Impact colors. He holds the Impact record for games played and starts for those who have played with both versions of the Impact (Pre-MLS and MLS), most Penalty Kick goals, most MLS assists and looks to build on these numbers in 2017.
"“Many people did not expect Patrice to continue to play at a high level after turning 34, but he has proven those doubters wrong, proved his value by accomplishing several individual and team-related performances bonuses, and earned the right to play in his 18th professional season," remarked Stone.
“I want to give special thanks to Impact President and Owner Joey Saputo for creating the platform for Patrice and other Montreal players to be able to play at the highest level in North America, while also giving Patrice his due to compete in his final season before transitioning to a club role off the field beginning in 2018,” says Stone.
“Additionally, I want to thank Impact Technical Director Adam Braz for his efforts and professionalism during the negotiation and would like nothing more than to see Patrice finish his career bringing a championship to his hometown. It has been a pleasure representing Patrice during these last years in MLS and will cherish the moments he creates in his final season and looking forward to what lies ahead for him beyond the pitch once he hangs up the boots.”
Off the field, Bernier is a community leader and donates his time to charitable causes such as La Fondation de l’OMHM, CHC Fondation’s FACE À FACE DES CÉLÉBRITÉS Charity Hockey match, Coupe Centraide Cup, Rèves d’enfant Foundation, Procure’s Marche COURAGE, among others. In 2012, he earned the Impact’s Communitarian Award. He has also been featured on TV, Radio and other Media outlets promoting the club such as Quebec’s #1 breakfast morning show – Breakfast Television, late night talk show Tout le Monde en Parle, Montreal Canadiens’ Broadcasts, TVA Sports and RDS commentary during MLS Cups and English Premier League matches.
