Europe next? A blue-chip university team? I assume he made more bank as USWNT coach than any NWSL organization spends, but that's just my SWAG.
MarPar came back, though.
More interested in how quickly US Soccer moves on the replacement--Paris 2024 looms large and whiffing on three tourneys in a row would seem suboptimal.
Reporting is that he's being considered by multiple international and club teams. Could see him back at whatever-comes-next-for-Seattle-Tacoma-OL-Reign if Laura Harvey gets the USWNT job (which isn't a non-possibility.) Rapinoe was super close with Vlatko, and so was Harvey, and he has history there.
Could also see him being courted by Angel City (has an interim) or Bay FC, because of all of the USWNT connections...though none of those owners at Bay FC have been sounding real high on Vlatko during the WC. I think KC is the most likely.
So is Vlatko the new coach of KC now that he’s handed in his resignation?

Either KCFUBAR or (brace yourselves) Portland Thorns. New ownership (eventually) and lots of success in NWSL. Why not?
KC makes most sense because he's there and Vlatko is a name (which supports ongoing international recruiting and KC's desire for names).
But here's the thing.... I just don't see Vlatko and Potter as being cut from different cloth. Indeed, I think they're probably pretty similar.
Vlatko will have no interest in the front office micromanaging that has characterized KC.
For a long time Vlatko didn't look like he was enjoying himself as USWNT coach. KC isn't nearly the same pressure, but the FO is pressing pretty hard.
He's also very loyal to his players (see Megan Rapinoe), and clearly that's not a priority in KC.
So, here's another possibility: Vlatko to Chicago, where he can work with Swanson and Naeher.
Might have to repair some fences with Kruger and Davidson, but that would be a move that says the new Chicago ownership are serious.
