Steffen Baumgart

Steffen Baumgart is the former head coach of Union Berlin. He was recently dismissed from his position following a 1-3 defeat against Heidenheim, a decision announced late on Saturday. Baumgart's departure is newsworthy because it triggered the appointment of Marie-Louise Eta as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. This makes Eta the first female head coach of a men's Bundesliga team. The events surrounding Baumgart's dismissal have brought attention to the club's performance and the subsequent historic appointment of Eta, highlighting the ongoing challenges and changes within Union Berlin. The focus has shifted to Eta and her ability to lead the team and secure their place in the Bundesliga.
