Chicago Stars appoint Vlatko Andonovski as chief soccer officer
Vlatko Andonovski, best known for his time as head coach of the U.S. women's national team, is making a move within the NWSL to become the chief soccer officer of the Chicago Stars. The hire signals a significant front-office addition for Chicago, as Andonovski steps into a sporting-director-level executive role. He arrives from the Kansas City Current, another NWSL club, where he had been working in a similar executive capacity. The move is the latest high-profile personnel change in the league as clubs continue to build out their football operations.

For a club looking to reassert itself in the NWSL, installing a chief soccer officer of his profile is the kind of structural hire that can quietly reshape a team's competitive ceiling over multiple seasons. It also reflects a broader NWSL trend of clubs poaching experienced sporting directors from rival organizations.
