Marie-Louise Eta Makes History

The 34-year-old German coach is tasked with steering the club clear of relegation after a poor run of form that saw them win only two of their last 14 matches.

Eta has been a trailblazer in the sport, previously serving as an assistant coach before this historic promotion.

Her appointment has been hailed as a landmark moment for gender equality in professional football.

She will make her debut on the touchline this week as Union Berlin continues its fight for top-flight survival.
