London City Lionesses have handed the top job to Eder Maestre - and he's wasted no time talking a big game. The newly appointed head coach reckons his side can go toe-to-toe with the Barclays Women's Super League elite, as WSL Full-Time reports.
Bold words, but the recruitment backs it up. The Lionesses have pulled off some jaw-dropping signings over the summer. Mary Earps, Alexia Putellas, and Kadidiatou Diani will all be turning out at The Copperjax Community Stadium. Not bad for a side stepping into the top flight.
First up? Manchester United at home - and tickets are gone. Maestre knows the significance of a strong start and has stressed the need to deliver under the lights in front of a packed house.
Beyond individual talent, Maestre wants to forge a clear team identity and embed a winning mentality from day one. He's realistic about the challenges but bullish about what his squad can achieve.
Manchester United arrive with their own fresh face in the dugout. Eva Olid has taken charge, bringing a fluid tactical style that Maestre has been studying closely. He's acknowledged her experience and expects a stern test in the curtain-raiser.
