Eva Olid named Man United Women head coach Manchester United Women have officially announced the appointment of Eva Olid as their new head coach, marking a significant step in the club’s ongoing development of its women’s team. The Spanish coach, who previously led Heart of Midlothian to their first-ever Scottish Women’s Premier League title in May, will take charge of the Women’s Super League (WSL) side with an ambitious vision for the future. Olid has signed a multi-year contract extending until June 2028, with an option to add an additional year, reflecting the club’s confidence in her leadership and tactical acumen. In a statement, Olid expressed her excitement about joining the club, emphasizing the opportunity to work with a squad already brimming with talent. “The chance to become head coach of Manchester United Women is a dream come true,” she said. “The club has outstanding infrastructure and everything we need to achieve our ambitions. We have an excellent training facility, an Academy that is already producing players capable of performing in a competitive first team, and an exceptional group of support staff.” She highlighted the existing talent within the squad and her eagerness to help players unlock their potential. Olid’s appointment follows the departure of previous head coach Marc Skinner, who left the club by mutual consent after five years in charge. Skinner’s tenure was marked by notable achievements, including overseeing Manchester United Women’s first major trophy win in 2024 when they claimed the FA Cup. His exit paved the way for Olid to step into the role, with the club’s director of women’s football, Matt Johnson, praising her qualifications and vision. “Eva is an outstanding coach with an incredible determination to succeed,” Johnson said.#manchester_united #manchester_united_women #eva_olid #heart_of_midlothian #scottish_women_s_premerial_league
