The NY Times reports that head coach <strong>Vlatko Andonovski<\/strong> has now decided to move on and the U.S. Soccer Federation will make an official announcement soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Mutual Decision For Andonovski To Move On <\/h2>\n<p>Once the U.S Women\u2019s National team returned home, a review was carried out by the U.S. Soccer Federation into what went wrong at the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup. Players, coaching staff and Vlatko Andonovski were spoken to for their views and feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Andonovski who took up his role as head coach in 2019 was contracted to be head coach till the end of the year. However, both Andonovski and the U.S. Soccer Federation agreed that it was in the best interests for everyone for him to move on. <\/p>\n<p>Andonovski took over the role as head coach from <strong>Jill Ellis<\/strong> who had a very successful tenure with the U.S Women\u2019s National team leading them to <strong>two consecutive FIFA World Cup wins in 2015 and 2019<\/strong>. Andonovski had a pretty decent record with the team (<em>51-5-9<\/em>) but his record in major tournaments was unimpressive (<em>3-2-5<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>There are also discussions over the future of <strong>Kate Markgraf<\/strong>&#8216;s, the general manager for the U.S Women\u2019s National team.<\/p>\n<h2>New Head Coach Likely To Be Appointed By End Of 2023<\/h2>\n<p>U.S. Soccer Federation will now look at potential candidates who will replace Andonovski. For now, they are likely to use assistant coach <strong>Twila Kilgore<\/strong> as an interim coach for their two friendly matches on Sep 21 and 24 against South Africa. <\/p>\n<div
