"I'm really happy for her. It's always very easy to dismiss these key moments and say she's just a coach like any other. But ultimately, it's something quite special. It opens up opportunities for younger women who feel they too can become coaches. It opens doors. I wish her all the best. The only thing at which I hope she won't be treated like men, is that I hope people show more patience."
Marie-Louise Eta has been appointed as interim manager of Union Berlin, becoming the first woman to manage a top 5 men's football club. At 34, she has a history in football management, starting in women's football with Werder Bremen and later serving as assistant coach for Union Berlin. Her appointment follows the dismissal of Steffen Baumgart and is seen as a significant step for women in the sport.
