After nearly four years at the helm of the U.S. women’s national team, coach Vlatko Andonovski’s future is unknown.
Andonovski led the team through two major tournaments – the 2021 Olympic Games, and the current World Cup – but his team underwhelmed at both tournaments.
Andonovski spoke to the media after the U.S.’ Round of 16 loss in penalty kicks to Sweden – the earliest the U.S. has ever exited a Women’s World Cup.
“I think we came out today and showed what we’re all about today, showed the grit, the resilience, the fight, the bravery. Showed everything that we could to win the game. Unfortunately, soccer can be cruel sometimes.”
Andonvski stressed the faith that he had in his lineup and game plan, saying, “I thought that we had a great game plan, great strategy. We executed the game plan. We had the right personnel on the field to execute the game plan. And if I had to coach this group, this game all over again, I’ll probably do the same.”
Of the winning…
