London City Lionesses Dismiss Head Coach Jocelyn Prêcheur in Midseason Strategic Reset

The club describes a strategic reset that begins a hiring process during the winter break.

Overview

  • London City confirmed Prêcheur’s exit with the team sixth in their debut WSL season after five wins in 11 matches.
  • The club’s statement said it is beginning a new cycle and pursuing a different strategic direction for the next phase of development.
  • Players and staff were informed on Sunday, and the club said it will recruit a new head coach during the pause in fixtures with further coaching updates to follow.
  • Prêcheur joined from Paris Saint-Germain in 2024 on a multi-year deal and led London City to promotion as the WSL’s first fully independent club.
  • Owner Michele Kang’s investment has rapidly reshaped the club, and ESPN reports the summer included a world‑record women’s transfer fee for Grace Geyoro.
