USWNT manager Vlatko Andonovski resigns after World Cup exit

LA Times  

Vlatko Andonovski resigned as coach of the U.S. women’s soccer team less than two weeks after the two-time defending champion was eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 16, its earliest exit from a major competition. Andonovski, who won two NWSL championships as coach of FC Kansas City, took over in the fall of 2019, months after the U.S. had won its second consecutive World Cup under Jill Ellis. As in the Olympics, where the Americans settled for their first bronze medal, the coach’s tactics and substitutions were roundly criticized in a World Cup in which the top-ranked U.S. nearly lost a group-stage game to Portugal and went the final 238 minutes without a score. The federation hasn’t tipped its hand on a possible successor, but the chance to coach the four-time World Cup champion U.S. team, historically the most successful and best-funded in women’s soccer, will draw a long list of applicants.
