Vlatko Andonovski has agreed to become the next coach of the United States women’s national team, according to two soccer officials familiar with the decision, and he will be introduced as the 10th coach in the program’s history early next week.
Andonovski, who spent the last two years as coach of Reign F.C. in the National Women’s Soccer League, will replace Jill Ellis, who announced in July that she would step down after leading the team to its second straight World Cup championship. Ellis departed with 106 victories, the most in the team’s storied history, and only seven losses.
