Open Extended ReactionsWashington Spirit head coach Jonatan Giráldez is in advanced discussions to take over as head coach of French powerhouse OL Lyonnes, multiple sources confirmed to ESPN. Both the Spirit and OL Lyonnes -- the eight-time women's champions of Europe who recently rebranded from Olympique Lyonnais -- are owned by Michele Kang. OL Lyonnes is expected to soon have a vacant head coach position. Kang owns the Washington Spirit, OL Lyonnes and England's London City Lionesses. Giráldez took over as head coach of the Spirit last year after guiding Barcelona to a UEFA Champions League title.
