Soccer outlet 90min first reported the news that Andonovski was set to resign.
The move comes in the wake of the U.S. team's elimination at the hands of Sweden in the round of 16 at the 2023 Women's World Cup, the team's earliest exit from the competition in its history.
Combined with a lackluster bronze medal finish at the Tokyo Olympics, there was no way forward for Andonovski.
