'Who wouldn't want to coach the best team in the world?' - Andonovski confirms interest in USWNT coaching job

The Reign FC head coach is one of the leading candidates to take over from the departing Jill Eliis

Vlatko Andonovski has confirmed his interest in the soon-to-be vacant U.S. women’s national team head coaching position.

The Reign FC manager has been mentioned as a top candidate to replace Jill Ellis, who will step down at the end of the USWNT’s World Cup victory tour next month.

Andonovski, 43, began his NWSL head coaching career with FC Kansas City in 2013, leading the now-defunct side to back-to-back league championships in 2014 and 2015.
