USWNT coaching candidates: Who should replace Vlatko Andonovski following World Cup debacle

The United States women’s national team were eliminated by Sweden in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in penalty kicks, leaving the future of many members up in the air. The squad suffered their worst-ever finish in the tournament, having made the semifinals in every previous edition. They advanced to the knockout rounds after clinching second place in Group E as head coach Vlatko Andonovski was criticized for his lack of substitutions and poor tactical adjustment while the players struggled to generate goals in the attack. On Wednesday, news broke that the coach is stepping down, meaning a new era is close for the USWNT.
