Vlatko Andonovski is set to make his debut as head coach of the Kansas City Current in the NWSL season opener against the Portland Thorns. This marks a significant return for Andonovski to his hometown team, where he feels a deep sense of belonging. Since the NWSL preseason began six weeks ago, Andonovski has been fully immersed in coaching, dedicating long hours to training sessions and game analysis.
Transitioning from coaching the U.S. women's national team to a club setting has been a refreshing change for Andonovski. The continuous nature of club competition appeals to him, as opposed to the intermittent schedule of international play.
