NEW YORK — The United States women’s national team is entering a new era. The team has the task of following up a rare World Cup double and maintaining the high levels of success that have defined the program since its creation. And the job of leading that process has officially gone to Vlatko Andonovski, who was introduced as the program’s new head coach Monday at Hotel Eventi in Manhattan.
Andonovski said he’s well aware of the pressure he faces to move the world’s best women’s soccer team forward.
“Jill was hired to win one World Cup and she won two,” Andonovski said of former coach Jill Ellis, who stepped down in October.
