Giraldez: OL Lyonnes move 'best for both sides'
Briefly

Jonatan Giráldez's recent move from the Washington Spirit to OL Lyonnes marks a significant transition in his coaching career. After joining the Spirit in 2024 and achieving success with the team, Giráldez believes his departure is in the best interest of both himself and the organizations. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration over individual accolades, stating that despite his initial plans to remain longer, changes in soccer necessitated this decision. Adrián González is set to take over the Spirit’s coaching role following Giráldez’s exit, continuing the team's journey in the league.
Giráldez emphasized, 'I am not the most important person. Club, players, staff, supporters -- especially, club is over everyone.' His view reflects a team-centric coaching philosophy.
Giráldez stated, 'I came here with a plan, probably to stay longer. But some things, you know, in soccer, things change so quickly.' This highlights the unpredictability of coaching in soccer.
