Former Kansas City Current sporting director Vlatko Andonovski is already back in the NWSL, with the Chicago Stars announcing Thursday that he has been hired as the chief soccer officer of the last-place club.
Andonovski’s tenure with the Current had ended just 10 days ago, as the team announced a mutual contract termination in a tersely worded press release that deemed his sporting director position to be “not the right fit”. As a head coach, Andonovski won two NWSL Coach of the Year awards and two NWSL championships. He has won consistent praise for his ability to built trust with players and staff – a significant trait in a league with a history of allegations of misconduct by coaches at the professional level.
