Now, Giraldez has been heavily paired with the Washington Spirit, whose offered salary is five times higher than before.

I’ve had more substantial offers,” he told her. “I take several aspects into account: the challenge, the project and the needs of my family. It is important that I feel satisfied both professionally and in my private life.”
The Washington Spirit, who play in the US Major League and were crowned champions in 2021, finished eighth in the 12-woman competition in the season that ended. They are trying to rise from the ashes with ambitious projects: Michele Kang, an entrepreneur who acquired the majority of the club in 2022, wants to create the best team in the world, in which a top-level coach should also play. important role. The next step is the creation of a multi-team international women’s football organization, which would include France’s Lyon, among others.
