Bundesliga gets first woman manager in Europe’s top flight 📋
A woman will lead a team from one of Europe’s five major football leagues for the VERY FIRST TIME in history.
Marie-Louise Eta replaces Baumgart and takes charge of Union Berlin until the end of the season, making history (once again).
Marie-Louise Eta had already been the first woman to sign the match sheet and the first woman to lead a team.
At the time, however, she was only filling in for coach Nenad Bjelica — who was serving a suspension at Union Berlin.
The story is different now. Marie-Louise Eta will be the full-time head coach for the final five rounds of the 2025/26 Bundesliga.
Union Berlin is in 11th place out of 18 clubs, with 32 points.
The club no longer has a chance of qualifying for European competitions, but faces only a minimal risk of relegation (they are seven points clear of the bottom three).
The next — and historic — challenge will be against Wolfsburg, at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday (18), at home.
