As Vlatko Andonovski leaves his role as manager of the United States women's national team, the candidates to replace him are wide-ranging
The 46-year-old has walked away from the national team job after an embarrassing World Cup, so who should be considered to replace him?
It was once the biggest job in the women's game, and perhaps it still is. The United States women's national team is looking for a new head coach to usher in a new era but, strangely enough, there isn't an obvious candidate out there.after a disastrous 2022 World Cup that saw the U.S. eliminated in the last 16. The moment the USWNT fell to Sweden, Andonovski's fate was sealed. There would be no second cycle, no Olympics; this team was onto something new.
Whichever coach comes in will face a massive task in rebuilding a fallen juggernaut. There's no debating that the USWNT regressed under Andonovski, although how much is up for debate. Did the rest of the world catch up completely or did the USWNT never quite find the level needed to be, well, the USWNT?The answer is probably somewhere in the middle. This is a team and a player pool still loaded with talent, but also one that needs some tweaks.
