The agonizing wait is over. Jonatan Giráldez has finally arrived in Washington DC to take over as coach of the Washington Spirit. The young coach arrives with great status after winning every possible title with Barcelona in Europe, having won 10 titles in three years with the culé team.
Giráldez arrives to implement his style of play at the Spirit, who have been having a great season in the NWSL, owning the second best offense and the fifth best defense in the league. The 32-year-old coach is a positioning specialist who will develop the players and, with his style, they will be able to annoy their opponents more by knowing the best way to position themselves in which area of the pitch they can.

The Washington Spirit is like an arrow that goes in search of its target, and his attack can be greatly enhanced. Obviously, he will gradually change the face of the team, making the players assimilate the new style of play, which will involve a lot of passing and ball recovery. Players like Croix Bethune, who has already been playing well, will be able to shine even more.
With the arrival of Giráldez, the Washington Spirit are set to enter a new era of success. His innovative methods and ability to maximize the players' potential promise to take the team to new heights. If the Spirit already showed strength with their powerful attack and good defense, under Giráldez's leadership they could become a real powerhouse in the NWSL, and could be one of the big favorites for the league's playoffs.
