Her appointment is a significant step forward for women in football.
Marie-Louise Eta has become the first woman to take charge of a men's side in one of Europe's top five leagues after stepping in as interim boss of Union Berlin.
The 34-year-old replaces Steffen Baumgart following his departure, with the club seeking a response after a poor run of form in recent weeks.
Having already been part of the coaching setup, Eta now takes on the task of guiding Union Berlin through a tense end to the season, with their Bundesliga status not yet fully secure.
