Chicago makes a quick coaching change, hiring Vlatko Andonovski less than a week after his previous role ends, according to coverage shared by The Athletic and Yahoo Sports’ “Full Time” newsletter. The move is framed as a contrast between Andonovski’s reputation as a top NWSL coach and Chicago’s struggles.
Both outlets present the news alongside a broader look at the NWSL playoff picture and a separate segment on the 2027 Women’s World Cup, including discussion of who is expected to be involved in calling or broadcasting. While the sources align on the core fact of Chicago’s hiring, they differ mainly in presentation: Yahoo Sports reproduces the newsletter framing and highlights the “that was fast” timing, while The Athletic positions the item as a lead story in its women’s soccer newsletter format.
Taken together, the reports indicate Chicago is moving to a new head coach with minimal downtime, while the newsletters also cover ongoing league postseason implications and separate World Cup media or voice-related commentary.
