Kansas City Current Set to Hire Chris Armas as Head Coach

League clearance remains the final step in Kansas City’s post-Andonovski coaching handover.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the Current have agreed terms with Armas, with confirmation expected once standard NWSL vetting is completed.
  • The search followed Vlatko Andonovski’s move to full-time sporting director after a Shield-winning season that ended with a first-round loss to Gotham FC.
  • Assistants Milan Ivanovic and Freya Coombe had been viewed as contenders, making the external selection a surprise.
  • Colorado announced a mutual parting with Armas after the 2025 season as his contract expired.
  • Armas brings an MLS-heavy résumé, highlighted by the 2018 Supporters’ Shield with the New York Red Bulls and assistant roles in England, while his women’s experience is limited to four seasons at Adelphi University.
