Jen BeattieHOST
Yeah, the titles kill me, and I'm always so interested in what comes under them.
Jen BeattieHOST
And for Vlatko, it was listed as overseeing all sporting and technical initiatives, which is a lot.
Jen BeattieHOST
Yes.
Jen BeattieHOST
That means roster building, on-field strategy, scouting, transfers, player development.
Jen BeattieHOST
I love these titles because they're so all-encompassing.
Jen BeattieHOST
There's so much that goes in.
Jen BeattieHOST
But I love that for Vlatko.
Jen BeattieHOST
I think Chicago is a really big project that he's perfect for, right?
Carrie RobinsonHOST
they...
Carrie RobinsonHOST
It was very funny whenever the Vlatko news dropped that he was going to Chicago because I have a friend from Louisville that was very upset.
Carrie RobinsonHOST
He said the only way that we weren't, quote, ass was because of Chicago.
Carrie RobinsonHOST
And now that Chicago is bumping up, makes that gap.
Sarah SpainHOST
And frankly, I'd prefer if someone else booked the party bus and bought all the beer next time.
Sarah SpainHOST
I don't know, get on it, Vlatko.
Sarah SpainHOST
That's gotta be part of your new job, right? Now it's your turn, y'all.
Sarah SpainHOST
Rate and review.
Kristian GummingerHOST
Like, there's not one assistant coach that's an Armas guy.
Kristian GummingerHOST
Like they're all Vlatko hires and who have been with Vlatko for a long time or worked with him over the last couple of years as part of like the major rebuild on 24 and 25.
Kristian GummingerHOST
Now that Vlatko is out and it's Chris Armas solo, right? Is the team as a whole, is their entire heart into it? Because why? Why would why would it be?
Cindy LaraHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Cindy LaraHOST
And that goes back to my earlier point is like because of all the decisions of the past nine months and seeing some of your teammates go like that's that's heavy on a roster.
Cindy LaraHOST
I mean, those are the two teams that you got to watch out for.
Cindy LaraHOST
Do
Coleman ChildersHOST
you think Ali Centenor was a Vlatko bring in or a Longs bring in? Longs.
Sam MewisHOST
Anything could still happen.
Sam MewisHOST
A few things I did wanna hit off the field that I think were, are, like, a big enough deal to spend a few minutes on right now, one of them being, um, last week, and in the past, you know, podcast all over the network, we've been talking a lot about Vlatko Andonovski and his departure from Kansas City.
Sam MewisHOST
Thankfully, it has been announced that he is gonna be Chicago's new head of soccer operations, which I think is a huge deal for Chicago.
Sam MewisHOST
This is, like, the first sign of life from Chicago's ownership that I have seen since they, like, basically since they, like, resigned Mal Swanson to a long-term contract that shows me that they are serious and invested and, like, wanna make this work.
Sarah SpainHOST
Rodman helped seal the deal in the 85th minute with a beauty of a chip into the box, where a waiting Tamara Bolt sent in a header, the first NWSL goal of Bolt's career.
Sarah SpainHOST
I was there at Martin Stadium to witness what Vlatko Andonovski might pull off in the first game since his hiring as the Stars' chief soccer officer was announced, but it turns out even Vlatko can't make miracles happen.
Sarah SpainHOST
[paper rustling] To baseball, the San Francisco Firebelles defeated the LA Queens 17-4 on Sunday in game four of the inaugural WPBL Championship Series, evening things at two games apiece.
Sarah SpainHOST
Firebelles shortstop Joely Leguizamon went four for four at the plate with four RBI in the win.
David GassHOST
Uh, but a little bit of light maybe at the end of the tunnel.
David GassHOST
Last week in naming Vlatko Andonovski as the new chief soccer officer.
David GassHOST
Vlatko of course coming over from a similar role, um, at the KC Current most recently, but I think is most famous, um, for being the coach of the Kansas City, Kansas City Current, uh, over the last three plus years.
David GassHOST
And then previously the coach of the US Women's National Team.
David GassHOST
We had Chris Armas on, uh, pre-season.
David GassHOST
When he first took over he talked about being in the opening meetings with Vlatko and sort of their shared identity and shared style.
David GassHOST
And now Vlatko Andonovski's departing Kansas City, a city that has been home to him for a very long time, a club in multiple iterations that have-
Jordan AngeliHOST
Mm-hmm
Dan LaulettaHOST
On this episode of the NWSL This Week podcast, a huge week for Angel City.
Dan LaulettaHOST
Midweek games wave goodbye for 2026 and Vlatko Andonovsky had a very short stay on the outside of NWSL.
Dan LaulettaHOST
But first, it is the factoid of the week.
Dan LaulettaHOST
Bay F.C. on Wednesday scored two late goals to work out a draw against the Denver Summit.
Dan LaulettaHOST
And if you're wondering if it is the longest streak in history, it is not.
Dan LaulettaHOST
The Houston Dash who came into the league in 2014, did not pull this off until 2018.
Dan LaulettaHOST
And for a little anti-Vlatko talk, the first time the Portland Thorns ever did it, Michael Minnick was scored by
Michael MinnichHOST
Michelle Betos.
Thad BellHOST
Okay, he didn't actually say that.
Thad BellHOST
He's still mad at Vlatko being discharged.
Thad BellHOST
I mean, parted ways mutually.
Thad BellHOST
Hey, I used to coach with Vlatko.
Thad BellHOST
He was my,
Robert RussertPANELIST
like, you know,
Thad BellHOST
And again, I've always been fair about it was tough to win when they didn't have Cooper and Tim Wah and all that stuff.
Thad BellHOST
But a lot of it was just roster mismanagement.
Sandra HerreraHOST
They added a, a massive hire to their, uh, sporting ex- executive department.
Sandra HerreraHOST
They named Vlatko Andonovski Chicago Stars' chief soccer officer.
Sandra HerreraHOST
So he's gonna be running what feels like pretty much everything in terms of the sporting decision side.
Sandra HerreraHOST
There's still gonna be some, some hires to, to be made, but there's been a lot of excitement around this.
Sandra HerreraHOST
And so despite Washington Spirit, uh, getting this, this big win over Chicago Stars, it kinda feels like there's still more to come for them.
Sandra HerreraHOST
We had the opportunity to, um, get Vlatko Andonovski on, uh, Morning Footy, and he chatted with us a little bit.
Sandra HerreraHOST
Let's hear a little bit from him about what he wants to see from Chicago moving forward.
