Marie-Louise Eta has become the first woman to manage a men’s team in one of Europe’s top five leagues after being appointed interim head coach of Union Berlin until the end of the season.
The Berlin-based club, which has established itself in the Bundesliga in recent years, parted ways with Steffen Baumgart following a poor run of results, including a 3-1 loss to FC Heidenheim.
Union sit 11th in the table but have won just twice in 14 league matches in 2026, leaving their top-flight status not yet fully secure with only a handful of games remaining.
Eta previously made history as the Bundesliga’s first female assistant coach in 2023 and also led the team from the touchline in 2024 while deputising for Nenad Bjelica.
A former Germany youth international and Women’s Champions League winner, she said she is confident the team can pull together and secure the points needed to remain in the league, as her appointment marks another milestone for women in football.

<h2>The national president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Emeka Rollas, has disclosed that veteran actor, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/zack-orji/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zack Orji</a>, underwent two successful brain surgeries and is in good health.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> recalls that Zack Orji had slumped on December 31, 2023, and was immediately admitted to the intensive care unit of the National Hospital in Abuja, before he was transferred to a private hospital for surgery.</p>
<p>In a recent interview with Afia TV, Rollas expressed disappointment at those spreading fake news about the movie star's demise, stating that Zack Orji was never in a critical position after the surgery.</p>
<p>The AGN president added that Zack needs to be flown abroad for a post-surgery evaluation, and they are gradually sourcing funds for it.</p>
<p>He said, <em>"Because of the internet age, people just want to grow their page and they can spill nonsense, that was why somebody woke up yesterday morning and said Zack has passed on and I quickly reacted.</em></p>
<p><em>"Zack is never in a position of seriously needing attention as we speak, if not because of privacy I would have just connected him on the phone here, you will see him.</em></p>
<p><em>"He just needs a post-surgery evaluation abroad which we are gradually gathering money to send him abroad for that.</em></p>
<p><em>"He has survived two brain surgeries, he is in good health, and he is speaking. For somebody to wake up and say that Zack has passed on, is inhuman." </em></p>
