Like John Textor, Michele Kang is at the head of three clubs including OL women. The American businesswoman would have chosen to call on Markel Zubizarreta, former sporting director of Barça and Spanish women’s football.
A few days ago she was in London for two big announcements. Having bought the London City Lionesses In recent months, Michele Kang had ambitions to see the club promoted to the English premier division. To achieve this, the American banked on Jocelyn Prêcheur as coach and Kosovare Aslan as the first gondola of his London project. Unlike John WeaverMichele Kang never really announced that he wanted to create synergy between the three clubs. There was no further discussion of it at last Thursday’s press conference.
“An offer I can’t refuse”
For the moment, OL would remain OL and the same goes for the other clubs. While waiting to know if a global project will be put in place, Michele Kang continues to surround herself. Working within the Spanish Federation, Markel Zubizarreta has chosen to leave his position as head of women’s football as he indicated last Friday. “I received an offer from a club that I cannot refuse”he had declared. If he had not wished to give the name of this training, the former sports director of FC Barcelone feminine should join theOL in the coming days. It remains to be seen whether he will only work for the Lyon team or whether his role will be more general with Washington and London City.
