Chicago, Oct 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Vlatko Andonovski has been appointed as the head coach of the US women's national football team. With this, he has become the ninth coach in the US women's football team. He takes over the reign from Jill Ellis, who took charge of her final game on October 6, having won two World Cups with the US.
The 43-year-old had earlier served as a head coach during all seven seasons of the National Women's Soccer League, a stint which included two championships with FC Kansas City (2014 and 2015).
He spent five seasons with FC Kansas City (2013-2017) and the last two with Reign FC (2018-2019). He was twice named NWSL Coach of the Year, in 2013 and again after the just completed 2019 season.
"It's a huge honour and I'm very excited to get started with this group of players and staff as we work towards continued success for this program. All of the talented coaches and players that have come before have built a legendary tradition of excellence and I'm committed to working very hard to continue to move this program forward," said Andonovski in an official statement.
Andonovski takes over immediately and will lead the side for the first time against Sweden on November 7. After another friendly match against Costa Rica on November 10, the US will begin their qualifying campaign for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in the end of January.
