Vlatko Andonovski, the only coach that FC Kansas City has known has left to go coach the rival Seattle Reign. It is hard for fans to see him go but for his players it may be hardest of all. Many of the Blues have an intense loyalty to Andonovski.
Yael Averbuch was not an original member of FC Kansas City, she came to the Blues in 2015 and was a key part of helping them to their second straight NWSL championship. Because Averbuch is a veteran and experienced both playing for and against FC Kansas City, she has a view that not many others have of the team and Andonovski.
