Eva Olid appointed new Man Utd head coach | OneFootball

Manchester United have announced that Eva Olid is the new women's team manager after signing a two-year contract.

The Spaniard has spent the last four seasons at Hearts, developing a young team on a small budget that went on to win the Scottish top flight last season.

That overachievement and youth focus is exactly what United hope to replicate with this appointment with a deal until 2028 with the option for a further season.

"The opportunity to become head coach of Manchester United Women is a dream come true," Olid said on her arrival.

"The club has outstanding infrastructure and everything we need to achieve our ambitions. We have an excellent training facility, an Academy that is already producing players capable of performing in a competitive first team and an exceptional group of support staff.

"There is already so much talent within our squad and I am excited to work with the players to support them to fulfil their immense potential.

"I am joining Manchester United at a really exciting time. There is a clear alignment in our shared vision for long-term success. I cannot wait to begin preparing a team that will make our incredible supporters proud."

Olid becomes just the third manager of the women's team since its reformation in 2018 following first appointment Casey Stoney and then Marc Skinner, who left the club earlier this week after five seasons.
