FC Barcelona's Women's Coach Jonatan Giráldez to Leave at End of Season

Giráldez's departure fuels speculation of a move to the NWSL, leaving questions about the future of Barcelona's women's team.

Jonatan Giráldez, the UEFA Women's Champions League winning coach of FC Barcelona, has confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season, fueling speculation he will move to the NWSL in the United States.
Giráldez has been successful at Barcelona, winning successive Spanish league titles and reaching two UEFA Champions League finals.
This season, Barcelona have been dominant, winning all fifteen games they have so far played, scoring 50 goals in the league and conceding just two.
Giráldez's decision was not motivated by money, but by a desire to grow professionally and personally.
With the contract of nine first team players also expiring in June, there are questions about whether Giráldez's departure might affect negotiations over contract renewals and signal an exodus from the club.
