For Vlatko Andonovski, 2022 is over in terms of his coaching duties with the U.S. women’s national team. But his work for U.S. Soccer is far from over.
Andonovski has said he’s set to travel to Qatar, where he’ll do some unspecified work for the U.S. men’s national team at the World Cup.
Speaking to the media following Sunday’s 2-1 win over Germany, Andonovski was asked about his plans for the remainder of 2022, with the USWNT set to gather next at a January camp in New Zealand.
“First and foremost I’m going go to Qatar with the men’s team,” Andonovski said. “I will be helping the men’s team a little bit with some work.”
Andonovski added that while he moonlights with the USMNT, he would be continuing with his day job as his team gets ready for the World Cup next summer.
“Then in the meantime, [I’ll be doing] analysis of the year and seeing where we are in the process and what else we need to do to get ready for the next camp and then for the World Cup,” Andonovski added.
Andonovski’s entire coaching career has been spent on the women’s side, save for a stint in charge of the Kansas City Comets of indoor league MISL.
The USMNT will kick off the World Cup next Monday against Wales.
