To comprehend FC Kansas City head coach Vlatko Andonovski’s success in the National Women’s Soccer League, you have to understand a couple of things.
The first is his obsession with game tape. He has watched thousands of hours, and can tell you about plays that happened years ago. His wife and kids watch video with him at home. He might watch one game two, three or four times.
Andonovski came into the NWSL somewhat anonymously, the head coach of an indoor soccer team, the Missouri Comets. He had plenty to learn about the women’s game, so he retreated to his basement and watched game tape long into the night.
