Bundesliga’s first-ever female head coach. 🤯⚽⁣
⁣
Marie-Louise Eta takes over as head coach of Union Berlin, becoming the first female head coach in a men’s top-five European league. 🔥⁣
⁣
Eta became the first female assistant coach in Bundesliga history when she was promoted to the role in 2023. 👏⁣
⁣
Union Berlin has struggled through the second half of the season, and after a loss on Saturday to last-place Heidenheim, the club decided to sack head coach Steffen Baumgart. 👀⁣
⁣
And Eta got the call to take over. As a player, she won the Women’s Champions League in 2010 with Turbine Potsdam. After retiring at 26, she began her coaching career—first with Werder Bremen’s youth teams, then in a similar role with the German FA (DFB). 💪⁣
⁣
And now she’s taking over a men’s squad in a top-five European league—something that was once unheard of and is a huge moment for female coaches everywhere. 🤯⁣
