Eva Olid appointed head coach of Manchester United Women's team

Manchester United confirmed that Eva Olid will become the head coach of its women's team, agreeing to a contract that lasts until 2028 with a possible extra season. Olid arrives after a four-year spell at Hearts, where she guided a modest squad to win the Scottish top division. She highlighted the club's excellent training complex, productive academy and supportive staff as key assets for future success.

The appointment reflects United's desire to replicate Hearts' overachievement and focus on youth development. Olid expressed enthusiasm about working with the talented roster and delivering results for the club's passionate supporters. She is only the third manager since the women's side was re-established in 2018, succeeding Casey Stoney and Marc Skinner.
