Eva Olid takes the reins at Manchester United Women after a title-winning spell at Hearts, as women coaches become the WSL majority for the first time.
AIManchester United's women's team have turned to Spain for their next boss - and what a hire it is. Eva Olid, 40, was confirmed as head coach on 5 August, penning a two-year deal with the option of a third. She replaces Marc Skinner, who departed by mutual consent just days earlier.
Olid arrives fresh from a remarkable five-year stint at Hearts in Edinburgh. Last season she guided the club to a maiden Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) title, racking up the most wins and goals in the division along the way. Not a bad CV update.
Here's the real headline-grabber. As Footeuses reports, Olid's appointment tips the balance in the WSL for the 2026/27 campaign: eight of the league's fourteen clubs will now be coached by women. That's a majority for the first time. She joins the likes of Renée Slegers at Arsenal and Natalia Arroyo at Aston Villa on an increasingly impressive list of female bosses leading the top flight.
