Left Jobless For 68 Days After USWNT’s Humiliation, Patrick Mahomes-Backed Soccer Club Gives Respite to Vlatko Andanovski

In the heartland of America, a new dawn is breaking for soccer enthusiasts. For the former USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski, the past few months have been a whirlwind of emotions. Andonovski found himself jobless for the first time in nearly a decade, after he resigned from the USWNT head coach position. But now, the latest news tells that Andonovski has been offered a revival by a soccer club partly owned by NFL legend Patrick Mahomes.

The 47-year-old native of North Macedonia, Vlatko Andonovski, enjoyed a great amount of success in his managerial career, but the humiliating exit of USWNT in the latest Women’s World Cup forced him to resign from the position.

Andolovski’s signing serves as a new beginning for the Patrick Mahomes-backed NWSL club. With a brand new stadium set to open in upcoming March, particularly designed for women’s soccer, the KC Current is looking forward to making a bold statement. And the return of Vlatko Andonovski is a key event of this plan, given his successful history in the NWSL and the experience he gained with the USWNT.

Andonovski will be aiming to pull back from World Cup humiliation

Andonovski’s journey with the US Women’s Soccer team was full of highs and lows. Under his mentorship, the USWNT clinched a bronze medal at the Olympics, but also suffered a humiliating defeat on the world’s grandest stage. As USWNT crashed out of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in a shocking round-of-16 clash, Vlatko Andonovski announced to step down from his role as the head coach. However, after a good amount of rest and refreshment, the 47-year-old will be aiming to come back stronger to mark his new journey.

Though Andonovski left his role with the USWNT on a bitter note, his ability to develop talent and shape players makes him an invaluable asset. With the majestic support of part-owner and NFL legend Patrick Mahomes, the Current will be aiming to regain their winning ways in the NWSL.

As we anticipate and wait for the upcoming season, fans and enthusiasts will be curious to see Andonovski’s return to Kansas City. Do you think Andonovski is the right candidate to lead the NWSL side Kansas City Current?
