OL Lyonnes confirm the appointment of Jonatan Giráldez | OneFootball

French giants OL Lyonnes have today confirmed the appointment of Jonatan Giráldez as the new first-team manager at Groupama Stadium.

The 33-year-old managerial prodigy replaces the outgoing Joe Montemurro, who recently announced his departure while since taking up the position of head coach of Australia's women's side.

Giráldez has achieved commendable success despite his age, first as an assistant with Barcelona Femení from 2019-2021 before taking up the position of manager for three seasons, guiding the club to ten pieces of silverware along the way.

The Galician tactician then patrolled the touchline for NWSL side Washington Spirit, but will now return to Europe at the helm of one of the most prestigious clubs in the women's game.
