Overview
- The club and Andonovski announced a mutual split less than a year after he moved from head coach into the sporting director role, with the team saying the transition did not suit either party.
- Andonovski had been promoted to the club’s front office after a 2024 season in which he led the Current to a record 65‑point regular season and the NWSL Shield while setting team marks for wins and fewest goals conceded.
- Chris Armas was elevated to head coach when Andonovski moved upstairs and the Current have fallen to midtable form, sitting seventh in the 16‑team NWSL despite a recent three‑match unbeaten run.
- The club gave no immediate successor for the sporting director post and faces short‑term roster planning questions after the summer absence of 2025 MVP Temwa Chaŵinga for international duty and her recent return.
- Andonovski’s departure closes an experiment in shifting a high‑profile coach into a front‑office role and raises bigger questions about how the Current will balance strategic roster decisions, coaching continuity, and player availability for international tournaments.
