WSL-bound? Michele Kang-owned London City Lionesses sign Sweden icon Kosovare Asllani and appoint PSG boss Jocelyn Precheur to make HUGE splash in English second tier

WSL Cup

London City Lionesses

West Ham United Women

Kang, also the majority owner of NWSL side Washington Spirit and European giants Lyon, bought the English second-tier side in December and has shown her commitment to getting the Lionesses into the top-flight with a huge flurry of announcements ahead of the 2024-25 season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The club from the capital have persuaded Precheur to leave French giants PSG to manage in the Championship, off the back of him helping the French giants win just a fifth major honour in the form of the Coupe de France, and added one of the best talents of her generation, in Asllani, to the squad. The Sweden star has 187 caps for her country and has previously represented PSG, Manchester City and Real Madrid, before joining London City from AC Milan.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"Since I met Michele last season, I have admired her vision and dedication to the women’s game," Precheur said. "The high-performance culture of winning she is building across her teams was a key part in my decision to join London City. I can’t wait to get started next week and meet the players and team staff.""I am delighted to be back in England for the second time, now as a London City Lionesses player,” Asllani added. "I can’t wait to put on the No.9 shirt and get to know the team."

WHAT PRECHEUR & ASLLANI SAID

Those two arrivals were not the only bits of big news. Kang also revealed that London City has purchased its current training facilities and signed a long-term tenancy agreement with Bromley FC, recently promoted into the men's English Football League, to play their home fixtures at its Hayes Lane ground. "Today marks a new era at London City Lionesses,” Kang said.

DID YOU KNOW?

With all this investment and excitement, London City Lionesses will be targeting promotion in the upcoming 2024-25 FA Women's Championship season, needing to top the table to do so. The new campaign will begin on the weekend of September 7/8.
