The Kansas City Current and sporting director Vlatko Andonovski have mutually agreed to part ways. WSAU reported that both sides concluded Andonovski's shift from coaching to a front-office role was not the right fit for either party.
Andonovski, who previously led the U.S. women's national team from 2019 to 2023, had transitioned into the sporting director position with Kansas City. Head coach Chris Armas has already replaced him in the coaching role.
From National Team Coach to Front Office Struggle
Andonovski's move away from the sidelines marked a significant career shift. His stint with the U.S. women's national team earned him high-profile experience managing elite talent and competing at the international level. However, WIFC confirmed that his transition into the sporting director role proved challenging for both the organization and Andonovski himself.
Chris Armas Takes Over as Head Coach
Chris Armas steps into the head coaching position following Andonovski's departure from the sporting director role. WNFL Sports noted that the coaching change was part of the mutual agreement between the club and Andonovski. Armas brings his own experience to lead the Current moving forward.
What Comes Next for Kansas City Current
The Kansas City Current will now search for a new sporting director while Armas settles into his coaching duties. KRRO reported that both parties believed a fresh start would benefit the club and allow Andonovski to explore other opportunities. The mutual split signals a reset for the NWSL franchise's front office and coaching structure.
