Twila Kilgore Leaves USWNT After Historic Tenure

Twila Kilgore is departing the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT) to pursue other coaching opportunities after serving as interim head coach and assistant coach. Kilgore took over in August 2023 following Vlatko Andonovski's resignation and led the team to a 10-1-3 record, winning the CONCACAF Gold Cup and SheBelieves Cup. She played a crucial role in stabilizing the team and preparing it for new head coach Emma Hayes, who led the team to an Olympic gold medal. Kilgore expressed her gratitude for her time with the USWNT, calling it a privilege and rewarding experience. Her future coaching plans remain undisclosed. Kilgore's departure marks the end of the longest interim coaching tenure in USWNT history.
