HEAD COACH CALEB PORTER Head coach Caleb Porter is in his third season with the club in 2015 after guiding the Portland Timbers to record-setting campaigns in his first two years in MLS. Guiding the team to an impressive turnaround season and the club’s first-ever MLS postseason appearance in 2013, Porter helped direct a record-setting offense in 2014 as the Timbers netted 61 regular-season goals, a club record across all eras.

He was announced as the Timbers head coach on Aug. 29, 2012, and joined the club ahead of the 2013 MLS campaign. Porter received the Slats Gill Award for Sportsperson of the Year at the Oregon Sports Awards on March 9, 2014, becoming the fourth soccer-related figure to receive the award since it was founded in 1957. On Aug. 6, 2014, Porter helped guide the MLS All-Stars to a 2-1 win over German power Bayern Munich in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game at Providence Park in Portland.

The 2013 MLS Coach of the Year award winner, Porter has compiled one of the league’s top winning percentages among active MLS head coaches with a 41-25-36 mark (.578) after leading Portland to double-digits wins in each of his first two seasons. The 25 losses in his first 100 career games as an MLS head coach ranks tied for the fewest losses with San Jose’s Dominic Kinnear among all MLS coaches who have reached 100 or more games in the league. Under Porter’s guidance, the Timbers have made Providence Park one of the toughest places to play in the league, registering an impres-sive regular-season mark of 24-7-20 at Providence Park over the last two-plus seasons. In 2014, the Timbers netted a team-record 61 goals while compiling one of the highest point totals (44) across the final two-thirds of the regular season – recording the highest goal differential (plus-9) of any non-playoff team in MLS history. Portland also made its first appearance in CONCACAF Champions League, contesting matches against Alpha United of Guyana and C.D. Olimpia of Honduras during the competi-tion’s group stage.

During Porter’s first season as head coach in 2013, the Timbers assembled one of the biggest turna-round seasons in MLS. In comparison to 2012 totals, the Timbers assembled a 23-point improvement in points and an MLS-record 43-goal improvement in goal differential. Portland’s five losses during the 2013 regular season tied for the fewest in MLS history in a 34-game season and the Timbers led the league with 15 shutouts. The Timbers recorded a 15-game, home unbeaten streak during the 2013 regular season, posting a league-best 11-1-5 home record at Providence Park and an MLS single-season record 11 home shutouts. In 2013, Portland qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since joining the league in 2011. Additionally, the Timbers made their deepest run in club history in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup in 2013 under Porter’s guidance, reaching the semifinals of the tournament.

Prior to joining the Timbers, Porter was one of the most successful coaches in NCAA history during his tenure as head coach at the University of Akron (2006-12). He compiled a career mark of 123-18-17 and was named 2009 NSCAA National Coach of the Year. Porter led the Zips to back-to-back NCAA Col-lege Cup appearances (2009, 2010) and the school’s first national title in any sport in 2010.

Porter’s coaching career also includes time as the head coach of the U.S. U-23 Men’s National Team during 2012 CONCACAF Olympic qualifying and three years as an assistant coach on the U.S. U-18 National Team (2009-11). Porter was an assistant coach for six years (2000-05) at Indiana University.

As a player, Porter was the 27th overall pick by the San Jose Clash in the 1998 MLS College Draft. He spent time with San Jose and the Tampa Bay Mutiny before a knee injury ended his professional play-ing career in 2000. He also played for the U.S. National B Team from 1996-97, winning a bronze medal at the 1997 World University Games. As a player at Indiana, he was a three-year captain and led the Hoosiers to four conference titles. Porter was the runner-up for the 1997 Hermann Trophy.

Porter graduated from Indiana in 1998 with a degree in sports management. He and his wife, Andrea, have three children – two sons, Colin and Jake, and a daughter, Stella..

SCOUTING ORLANDO CITY SCThrough three games played, Orlando City SC has produced one win and two draws to start the 2016 MLS season. After drawing Real Salt Lake SC 2-2 before 60,147 fans at the Orlando Citrus Bowl, the Lions drew the Chicago Fire 1-1 in Week 2 before securing their first victory of the season in a 1-0 win over New York City FC at Yankee Stadium on March 18. Forward Cyle Larin leads the team in goals (3), shots (11) and shots on goal (7).

Led by head coach Adrian Heath, Orlando City has added seven players to its roster since its inaugural MLS campaign in 2015, including former A.C. Milan midfielder Antonio Nocerino and Brazilian striker Julio Baptista alongside Larin, who was named Rookie of the Year in 2015, and former FIFA World Player of the Year Kaka. Prior to joining MLS, Baptista and Nocerino appeared in over 700 professional matches combined.

FINISHING TOUCHAfter recording a brace against Real Salt Lake on March 19, Fanendo Adi be-came the first Timbers player during the team’s MLS era to score three goals in the first three games of the season. Overall, Adi is the fourth player in Portland history across all eras (since 1975) to accomplish that feat, along with Ryan Pore (2010), Andrew Gregor (2007) and Dale Mitchell (1981).

Additionally, dating back to last season, Adi has scored nine goals in Portland’s last eight regular-season games, joining Alan Gordon (2004), McKinley Tennyson (2002) and Peter Withe (1975) as the only players in Timbers history across all eras (since 1975) to score at least nine goals over an eight-game span.

The Orlando Citrus Bowl is the 101st different stadium to play host to the Timbers for a league match since the club’s first road game on May 11, 1975, against the Denver Dynamos at Jefferson County Stadium in Lakewood, Colo-rado. The match against Orlando City also signifies the only time this season that the Timbers will play in a stadium for the first time. Additionally, the Citrus Bowl will mark the eighth different stadium in Florida that the Timbers have visited for a match. The other stadiums include FIU Sta-dium (Miami), the Gator Bowl (Jacksonville), Lockhart Stadium (Fort Lauderdale), Steinbrenner Field (Tampa), Tamiani Park (Miami), Tampa Stadium (Tampa) and Tropical Park Stadium (Olympia Heights).

ON THE ROAD IN THE EAST

Following his next assist, midfielder Diego Chara will move into a tie for 13th place for assists with Brian Grant (1977-1982) and Stuart Lee (1980-1928) across all eras (since 1975).

With his next assist, midfielder Jack Jewsbury will rank 11th across all eras (since 1975) in Timbers history.
