Andonovski previously coached FC Kansas City and Reign FC of the National Women's Soccer League, as well as the Kansas City Comets in the Major Arena Soccer League.


Playing career


A central defender, Andonovski played six seasons for multiple clubs in Europe, such as FK Rabotnički, Makedonija GP and FK Vardar,[3] competing in the First Macedonian Football League, European Cup and Intertoto Cup.[4]

In 2000, Andonovski signed with the Wichita Wings of the National Professional Soccer League and later played for the Kansas City Comets, California Cougars and Philadelphia Kixx of the Major Indoor Soccer League in his indoor career.[5]

On 8 February 2015, Andonovski and Wichita coach Kim Røntved came out of retirement to play against each other for their respective teams for one game.[citation needed]


Managerial career


On 5 December 2012, Andonovski signed a contract to become the head coach of FC Kansas City.[4] He was hired as the head coach of Kansas City Comets on 29 August 2013, after being an assistant under Kim Røntved for three seasons. During the 2014 year of both programs, Andonovski won both the MISL Championship with the Comets and the NWSL Championship with FC Kansas City.[6][7][8]

On 7 November 2017, Andonovski moved to Seattle Reign FC, succeeding Laura Harvey as head coach.[9] During his tenure with the team, it moved from Seattle to Tacoma, Washington after the 2018 season and rebranded itself as Reign FC; it would rebrand again in 2020 as OL Reign.

Andonovski holds a USSF Pro License and a United Soccer Coaches (formerly NSCAA) Goalkeeping Diploma and has been involved with many youth teams and clubs in the Kansas City area.[10]

Andonovski received significant praise from media[11] and players alike for his role in the Reign's 2019 season. Despite losing a significant number of players to various injuries and the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, Andonovski managed the team to a 4th place finish in the NWSL and a second straight playoff berth.[12]

Andonovski was named the head coach of the United States women's national soccer team on 28 October 2019.[2]
