Vlatko Andonovski joins NWSL's Chicago Stars as chief soccer officer
Former U.S. women’s national team coach Vlatko Andonovski has joined the Chicago Stars as chief soccer officer. Andonovski parted ways with the Kansas City Current last week. He had joined Kansas City ahead of the 2024 National Women’s Soccer League season and moved to sporting director in late 2025. Andonovski now joins a beleaguered Stars team that has already been eliminated from playoff contention this season.
The Stars fired coach Martin Sjögren last month after less than a full season on the job.
