Marie-Louise Eta makes history

In a landmark moment for world football, Marie-Louise Eta has taken the reins at Union Berlin following the dismissal of Steffen Baumgart.

The 34-year-old German coach becomes a trailblazer for female representation in the highest levels of the men's game.

Eta's appointment comes at a critical time for the club, which has won only two of its last 14 matches.

Her debut as manager will be closely watched across the sporting world as she attempts to secure Union's Bundesliga status.
