Kilgore, who served on Andonovski’s staff the past 18 months, will guide the four-time champions in friendlies against South Africa next month in Cincinnati and Chicago. According to one person close to the situation, she could remain in charge deep into the fall as the search for a permanent replacement takes shape.
