Manchester United women appointed Eva Olid as the new head coach

Manchester United Women have announced the appointment of Spanish coach Eva Olid as their new head coach.

The 40-year-old joins the club after an impressive spell at Hearts, where she guided the Scottish side from the second tier to their first-ever Scottish Premier League title.

Olid’s achievement with Hearts has earned her recognition as one of the rising coaches in women’s football, with Manchester United hoping she can lead the team to further success.

The Spanish tactician brings experience in developing teams and building winning cultures as she begins a new chapter at the Women’s Super League club.

United said Olid’s appointment marks an important step in their ambition to compete at the highest level and continue the growth of their women’s programme.
