Union Berlin Appoints Female Coach

The 34-year-old trailblazer takes over a side that has won only two of its last 14 matches and is fighting to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga.

Eta previously served as an assistant coach and has been widely praised for her tactical acumen and leadership skills.

Her appointment is seen as a landmark moment for gender equality in professional sports.

She faces an immediate challenge in her first match as she attempts to turn around the club's fortunes in the final weeks of the campaign.
