🚨 Reports: shock hero for the bench! Bundesliga side land title coach | OneFootball

Marie-Louise Eta’s time as head coach of the men’s team is over, and her successor has apparently now been found. Union Berlin are bringing in a new man from Switzerland. As reported by 'Sky', Mauro Lustrinelli is arriving from FC Thun.

'kicker' had also already reported that the signing was imminent and that only final details still needed to be clarified. The Swiss newspaper 'Blick' had also heard from eyewitnesses that Lustrinelli boarded a flight to Berlin on Thursday morning. Union Berlin has now announced a press conference for 4 p.m., where the new coach is expected to be unveiled.

Lustrinelli sensationally won the title straight away with promoted side Thun in the season that has just ended. The transfer fee Union now has to pay is said to be around one million euros.

The 50-year-old previously coached the Switzerland U21 national team and had been head coach at Thun since 2022. Eta, who secured Union’s survival in the division, will now take over the club’s women’s team.
