Marie-Louise Eta and the other women trendsetters in German football

Marie-Louise Eta

A former women’s Bundesliga player and a Germany youth international, Eta’s first coaching role came in 2018 as a member of Werder Bremen’s youth academy staff. Before long, she was working with Germany women’s U19s as an assistant and, by 2023, she had joined up with Union’s male equivalent.

She was already a trendsetter later that year when she became interim assistant coach of the first team following Urs Fischer’s departure, alongside her boss Marco Grote. She retained the position under Nenad Bjelica and even led the team during his touchline suspension, also becoming the first female assistant coach in UEFA Champions League history.
