Marie-Louise Eta continues to be a trailblazer for women in men's football after landing her first managerial role at a top-flight club within Europe's big five leagues. Announced late on Saturday, Eta has been appointed as Union Berlin's interim head coach until the end of the season. The 34-year-old replaces Steffen Baumgart who was fired, alongside his assistants Danilo de Souza and Kevin McKenna, after Union Berlin's 3-1 loss at Bundesliga's bottom side Heidenheim earlier in the day. Eta's hiring means she becomes the first female to lead a men's team as a manager in either the Bundesliga (Germany), Ligue 1 (France), LaLiga (Spain), Premier League (England) or Serie A (Italy). In November 2023 she made history by becoming the first female assistant coach in the Bundesliga - joining as part of then-interim Marco Grote's backroom staff at Union Berlin. Two months later in January 2024 she became the first female coach to take charge of a Bundesliga fixture, guiding Union Berlin to victory over Darmstadt with then-manager Nenad Bjelica serving a three-game touchline ban. Eta's remit this season though is to help Union avoid relegation. They currently sit 11th in the Bundesliga table on 32 points with five games remaining. However, they are only seven points clear of 16th-placed St Pauli who will currently face a relegation play-off against the third-place side in the second division which would be Hannover as the tables stand as of today. #bundesliga #football #soccer #unionberlin
