Having become the first woman appointed coach of a TOP 5 European team in mid-April by taking charge of Union Berlin, Marie-Louise Eta now has her first victory. This Sunday, his players won 3-1 against Mainz, enough to climb to 12th place in the Bundesliga. Beyond the accounting aspect, this success is especially meaningful because it is the first for a woman in one of the five major European championships.
The 34-year-old coach began her adventure with two defeats against Wolfsburg (1-2) then Leipzig (3-1), before securing a draw against Cologne despite being two goals behind (2-2). A meeting is planned with his management at the end of the season in order to decide on his future: stay in office next season or join the women’s team.
