Marie-Louise Eta named Union Berlin interim head coach, first woman in the Bundesliga | OneFootball

Union Berlin have appointed Marie-Louise Eta as interim head coach of the men’s first team.

According to Superdeporte, the decision follows a poor run, with a recent defeat prompting the previous coach’s dismissal.

Eta, 34, steps up from the backroom staff and becomes the first woman to manage in the Bundesliga.

She will lead the side until the end of the season, tasked with steadying results and safeguarding top-flight status.

The move addresses immediate sporting needs and is also seen as a significant step for equality in German men’s professional football.
