Reign FC head coach Vlatko Andonovski is probably the next US women’s national team coach. While US Soccer won’t confirm that one way or the other, BBC leaked the news on Monday and it very much feels like fait accompli. Andonovski coaching his way into the role shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, and there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the pick, given his record in NWSL and his demonstrated abilities to both develop talent and adapt to his circumstances.
This could also be one of the smoothest coach transitions so far in USWNT history.
