Kansas City Current and former U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) manager Vlatko Andonovski are ending their relationship, with the club stating they “mutually part ways.” The separation is announced as Andonovski’s role in the team’s front office comes to an end.
The Athletic and Yahoo Sports both report that the decision follows a relatively short tenure with the club. Less than a year after Andonovski leaves the head-coach level, he moves into a sporting director position with Kansas City Current. Both outlets describe the change as not working out for either party, based on the club’s statement, with the timing referenced in relation to early September 2026.
While the reports align on the announcement and the “mutual” framing, they differ mainly in emphasis: The Athletic highlights the career transition from head coach to sporting director, while Yahoo Sports focuses on the club’s statement about the departure from the sporting director role. Neither outlet provides detailed reasons beyond the club’s characterization of the decision.
