Marie-Louise Eta's Union Berlin appointment 'something special' - Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany
Eta took charge of her first Union training session on Tuesday as she begins preparations for her historic first outing as a Bundesliga head coach against Wolfsburg at the weekend.
It’s set to be a monumental day not just for Eta, but for women in men’s football as a whole, as Bayern counterpart Kompany explained.
"I'm really happy for her. It’s always very easy to dismiss these key moments and say she’s just a coach like any other. But ultimately, it’s something quite special," the Belgian explained prior to his team's UEFA Champions League meeting with Real Madrid.
"It opens up opportunities for younger women who feel they, too, can become coaches. It opens doors. I wish her all the best. My only hope is that she isn’t treated like a man there, that people show her more patience. Coaching is a job where you’d really like to have more patience."
