No WSL experience but who is new Man Utd boss Olid?
Manchester United appoint former Hearts boss Eva Olid as their new women's manager on a two-year deal, with an option for a further 12 months.
Manchester United has appointed Eva Olid as their new women's manager on a two-year deal with an option for an additional year. The 40-year-old Spaniard has guided Hearts to their first Scottish Women's Premier League title and a domestic final, but lost the final to Rangers in the 2024 Scottish Cup. Olid replaces Marc Skinner, who resigned from his role a month before the start of the WSL season.
She expressed excitement at the opportunity and highlighted the talent within the squad. Skinner's predecessor at Hearts, Georgia Hunter, praised Olid's impact on the club. Olid has a history of developing young players, including the Husband twins, and is expected to continue this tradition at Manchester United.
