Marie-Louise Eta broke a historic barrier this Sunday (10) by taking charge of Union Berlin.
With her team’s 3-1 win over Mainz in the Bundesliga, she became the first woman to win a match in one of Europe’s five major football leagues.
The milestone takes into account the national leagues of England, Spain, Italy, France and, of course, Germany.
Eta had already reached an important milestone by becoming the first woman to become the head coach of a team in one of those leagues.
She was given the opportunity just under a month ago, after coach Steffen Baumgart was dismissed.
Watch the highlights of this Sunday’s match below:
The match, in the penultimate round of the Bundesliga, no longer carried much weight for either team on the field.
Both had already secured safety from relegation and no longer have any chance of qualifying for European competitions.
So far, Eta has managed Union Berlin in four matches, with one win, one draw and two defeats, leaving the team in 12th place.
