OL Lyonnes Appoints Jonatan Giraldez as New Head Coach

  • Jonatan Giraldez left Washington Spirit in 2025 after one year to become head coach of OL Lyonnes in France.
  • Giraldez’s move followed Joe Montemurro’s abrupt exit from Lyonnes to coach Australia’s women’s national team, confirmed last week amid contract talks.
  • Giraldez, aged 33, signed a three-year contract with Lyonnes, a club with eight Champions League titles, and previously won multiple trophies at Barcelona.
  • Washington Spirit promoted assistant Adrin Gonzlez to head coach effective July 18, noting his 10-4-1 interim record and prior coaching experience in Spain, Greece, and Japan.
  • Giraldez’s departure marks a new phase for both clubs under owner Michele Kang, who praised Giraldez’s impact and believes Gonzlez will sustain Spirit’s competitive level.
