Union Berlin have appointed Marie-Louise Eta as their caretaker coach until the end of the season.
Eta becomes the first woman to serve as head coach in the men’s Bundesliga.
“The men’s professional team will approach the final phase of the season and the fight to avoid relegation under the leadership of Marie-Louise Eta, who has been the head coach of the U19 junior team and is the future head coach of the women’s professional team,” Union Berlin announced on their official website.
The 34-year-old shared her excitement after stepping into the role.
“I’m delighted that the club has entrusted me with this demanding task. One of Union’s strengths has always been to pull together and combine all our efforts in situations like this,”she said.
“And of course, I’m convinced that with this team we can secure the crucial points.”
Eta will manage her first game at home to Wolfsburg on 18 April.

The 18 April debut will be weirdly beautiful to watch.
I hope she succeeds especially managing egotistical men that led them to relegation fight in the first place
