The head coach of the U.S. women’s national soccer team resigned Wednesday after the squad’s disappointing World Cup showing this month, The Athletic reported. Vlatko Andonovski, 46, has been in the position since 2019, and failed to win any major tournaments under his tenure—including a third-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
