Olivier Giroud is deciding to go in a different direction after one disappointing year with Los Angeles FC, the Major League Soccer club. The 38-year-old Giroud and LAFC announced the decision Friday on social media. His final match will be Sunday night at home against Vancouver.

Giroud, who was in line to visit Gillette Stadium with LAFC in August, struggled to adapt to the MLS game and usually played as a substitute.

Los Angeles FC striker Olivier Giroud agreed to terminate his MLS contract and will return home to France to join Lille this summer, ESPN reported Friday.
