  • USWNT's Vlatko Andonovski resigns; coach drawing interest from multiple

    Vlatko Andonovski has resigned as coach of the U.S. women’s national team,
    a source briefed on Andonovski’s status confirmed to The Athletic on
    Wednesday. The source was granted anonymity because they were not
    authorized to speak publicly before the move was officially announced.
    Soccer outlet 90min first reported the news.

    Andonovski has drawn interest from multiple teams at the international and
    club levels already, the source said. U.S. Soccer is finalizing an
    agreement to make assistant coach Twila Kilgore interim head coach,
    multiple sources briefed on the plans said. The U.S. women have two
    friendlies against South Africa scheduled for Sept. 21 and 24.

    The 46-year-old Andonovski oversaw a disappointing World Cup campaign as
    the side was knocked out at the last-16 stage by Sweden with a 5-4 defeat
    on penalties. It was the earliest the USWNT have ever been knocked out of
    a World Cup and Andonovski’s decisions throughout the tournament had been called into question.

    Actually it was the shitty, anti-American, disrespectful, unworthy USWNT
    that has been called into question. The ex-coach is simply collateral
    damage.

    He seems to be giving up too early to me. He did a good job for FC Kansas City; why not persevere a bit longer with USA?
