Twila Kilgore takes over as interim USWNT coach following Andonovski's departure

Twila Kilgore has been named interim coach of the U.S. women’s national soccer team, replacing Vlatko Andonovski, who stepped down after the team's disappointing performance in the World Cup. Kilgore, who served on Andonovski’s staff, will guide the team in upcoming friendlies against South Africa, and could remain in charge until a permanent replacement is found. The U.S. Soccer Federation is evaluating the direction of the women's program, and a global coaching search is expected to take place. The top target, England's Sarina Wiegman, is unlikely to be available. The U.S. team, historically successful, has faced challenges in recent tournaments, and Andonovski's contract was set to expire at the end of the year.
