"I am delighted to join London City Lionesses. Working in English football has always been my goal, and representing this club is a real honour. In my opinion, the project presented to me by the club is one of the best projects in women's football. The club's ambitions are clear and aligned with my own, and I am excited to start work."
"Solid foundations are already in place here. I believe we have all the ingredients to continue creating something very powerful. Our aim now is to work together to reach our goals in the next stage of London City's development. Our fans are going to be hugely important during the second half of the season. I look forward to meeting them at our away matches in Liverpool and Sunderland, and then at the CopperJax Community Stadium in Bromley against Manchester City."
London City Lionesses appointed 39-year-old Eder Maestre as head coach following the surprise dismissal of Jocelyn Precheur on December 21, despite the team sitting sixth. The club framed the change as future-focused rather than results-based. Maestre joins ahead of the January 11 WSL fixture against Liverpool. He left Tenerife in December and previously coached Real Sociedad, having led Tenerife into the top half of Liga F. Maestre is regarded as an exciting Spanish coaching prospect. He emphasized clear ambitions, solid foundations, collaborative work toward growth, and the importance of fan support for the season's second half.
