Sep 07 (Field Level Media) – The Kansas City ​Current and sporting ‌director Vlatko Andonovski mutually parted ways on Monday.

“Both parties determined that (his) requested transition from ‌coaching ​into the ⁠sporting director role ⁠at the end of last season was not the right fit,” ​the NWSL team said in a statement.

Andonovski, ⁠49, was ⁠hired as the head ​coach in Kansas City ​on Oct. 23, 2023. After ‌leading the team to the NWSL Shield in 2025, he moved ⁠into the sporting director role and was replaced as head ⁠coach ‌by Chris Armas.

“The ⁠Kansas City Current ​wishes ‌Andonovski well in ​his future ⁠endeavors,” the team said.

Andonovski was head coach of the U.S. women’s national team from 2019-23.
