Marie-Louise Eta

Marie-Louise Eta, previously the U19 coach for Union Berlin, has been appointed as the interim head coach of the men's Bundesliga team until the end of the season. This makes her the first woman to hold such a position in the league. The appointment follows the surprising dismissal of Steffen Baumgart after a 3-1 defeat against Heidenheim. Eta's promotion is intended to bring about a change in the team's performance, as they are currently seven points above the relegation zone with five games remaining. According to reports, Eta was already slated to become the head coach of the women's professional team in the summer, but this interim role represents a significant and historic moment for women in professional football.
