About this episode

The episode discusses the mutual parting of ways between Vlatko Andonovski and the Kansas City Current, exploring the implications for both parties.

This week, the Kansas City Current announced that the team would be mutually parting ways with Sporting Director Vlatko Andonovski. The bombshell news came just 10 months after Andonovski led the Current to a record-breaking NWSL Shield win as head coach, then swiftly restructured his role in Kansas City, moving him from the dugout to head of the front office on the sporting side. On this week’s Full Time, Jillian Sakovits, Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan will be trying to make sense of what this divorce means for the Current and Andonovski. How did we get here, and where will both go next? Is Kansas City still an elite destination in the NWSL? _______________ Articles referenced on the show: Kansas City Current and ex-USWNT manager Vlatko Andonovski ‘mutually part ways’ How ‘Ted Lasso’ found a love for women’s soccer in Kansas City Two-time MVP and Golden Boot winner Temwa Chawinga’s aura charges KC Current _______________ HOSTS: Jillian Sakovits, Tamerra Griffin, Meg Linehan PRODUCER: Theo Lloyd-Hughes _______________ Get in touch:  ⁠⁠fulltime@theathletic.com⁠⁠ Follow on Instagram and TikTok: @tafulltime Subscribe to the Full Time newsletter ⁠⁠here⁠⁠ Visit the Yahoo…
